Happy #FistBumpFriday
HAPPY #FISTBUMPFRIDAY Do you remember {in the before times} when I used to do a little something called #FistBumpFriday? I didn’t start it, but I certainly had fun with it. It was a way for us to share a bit of happiness in a world that seemed full of everything but… I don’t know why I stopped, but I thought I’d bring it back. So here goes, some things that made me happy this week: New music: Anywhere Away from Here by Rag’n’Bone Man & P!nk I discovered Rag’n’Bone Man earlier this year and, y’all, his music is a whole vibe. I love the sound of his voice, it’s both…

Earlier this month I made a goal to try to read at least one book per month. Actually, I made the decision as a result of this post because, as I was going through my reading list, I realized a lot of my book choices were dated. Not that literature ever goes out of style, but that I…

So, here’s the deal… I’m not a sports person. At all. I used to watch basketball all the time, but then Scottie Pippen retired and so did I. Yes, I’m serious. It has really been that long since I’ve watched a game. I mean, I’m aware of some of the players, but I don’t follow along like I…

Where Bloggers Live: My Favorite Books
Hey, y’all, hey! I hope you had a relaxing holiday weekend. We did. The Hubs and I went to Mississippi to visit my family. I didn’t take many pictures, but you can see the few that I did take on Instagram. Mostly, this trip was about making sure my parents are doing OK. And they are… I also got to see my sister and her family, which is always nice. We took her youngest son and walked around Lowe’s to look at plants and pick out tile for her new house. You guys, even that little bit of normalcy was enough to make my heart happy. ABOUT WHERE BLOGGERS LIVE…

Happy National Camera Day!
Nikon D850 | 50mm | f/1.8 | 1/1600 | ISO 400 “The camera is an excuse to be someplace you otherwise don’t belong. It gives me both a point of connection and a point of separation.” – Susan Meiselas When The Hubs gave me my first camera years ago, I had no idea of the doors it would open for me. Honestly, I didn’t even think I’d like making photos. He and I had never discussed it nor had I expressed an interest in it as a hobby. He just came home one day and handed me a camera and said “Get out the house and take some pictures.” We’d…
