    The Secret Life of Bees

    Ah, to read a book… such bliss. Such accomplishment. Watch TV for an evening and feel like a lazy sloth, read a book for hours and feel like a king.

    In 2 days time I have finished The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd. The time it took to read it [...]

    Substance Part 1

    Over the past several months, well really nearly a year, my blog has become a place for me to complain. Of course, I’ve dealt with some rough stuff in the past year so I won’t beat myself up too much for it…but I look back at some of my old post and I gotta [...]

    Yesterday, I FINALLY finished the “holiday” book I started around Thanksgiving LAST year, which I wanted to read before I went home for Christmas. The book is Going Home.

    Super Sunday

    Blah blah, yeah yeah, I know there was some Super Bowl today but I’m calling it Super Sunday because I met with my book club for the first time today. As I mentioned before the group is career women who are in their 20’s from my local Maryland area who have read some really [...]
