Mi amiga Sonia Santana (antigua cantante de Olé Olé) ha sacado este nuevo video para promocionar su nuevo show.
Me encanta su interpretación de un clásico.
Cuando traiga el show a España, seguro haré todo lo posible para verlo.

Romantasy is a newish genre, a delightful mix of cozy fantasy and romance.
Being relatively new, is it possible to have Classic Romantasy?
If you're Emma Sheppard, you can.

I am so lucky to have my husband. Today, he encouraged everyone in his distribution list re my health status to go to my Patreon site to get to know me better and more deeply.
We then chatted for the past 2 hours about all the things he learned about me from the blog.

Today, just because, I made #glutenfree oatmeal cookies. And my good deed of the day was to leave the raisins out. I love a nice juicy raisin but most don't.
The recipe is from The Loopy Whisk website.

Never underestimate your power as a teacher.
I told a mother of a former student that she had raised such a wonderful young man and her response was that I had an important role in that.
This, after being his teacher for two years (to be exact two blocks of ten months, three hours a week).

In this day and age, it's more important than ever to think critically and stand up against injustice. It's something that I thank my parents and my autism for.
Also, indignation can lead to a better sense of gratitude for what we do have.
