Today’s blog post is about using my writing skills to volunteer and give back to my community. On this MLK day, I ask you: how are you (or how could you) use your talents to help others around you? #Writing

For what it’s worth, this American doesn’t want to take over Greenland. I’d love to visit someday though! Here’s a tiny spider plant flower, grown inside over a snowy winter. The bloom offers peace and hope but also defiance to the cold.

Kiddo has been in and out of dance class the last few hours, so I’ve been visiting some favorite local haunts. Loving the new location for the metaphysical store in Watertown!

Enjoying my snow day by relaxing with a cup of tea in near silence. No rush. No obligations. No chaos. I needed this.

Went to one of my happy places this afternoon: the @kripaluyogacenter for a fantastic belly dance class with wonderful people. Then I took a little walk on their trail. Not as much ice as I’d feared! I love this land. So much good energy here. Grateful for this place and the fellowship. 💚 🙏

A dear friend at work gave me a personalized book holder for my birthday! She observed how I often walk and read books, circling around the class to manage behavior at the same time, so this was very thoughtful! I’m demonstrating with a favorite: Tuck Everlasting. #Bookish

The full moon has found me tying up loose ends and working on some light magic as I ease back into our routines. Taking care of plants, moon water, vision boards, packing away Winter Solstice decor, cleaning, and much-needed rest. #Pagan

A little post-therapy treat: unexpected sunshine, the river, and a hot matcha latte from a favorite local cafe. 🍵 A quick toast to a year of hard work and self care before quickly running to the car because the frigid air makes my face hurt. 🥶

I turn my attention from Disney to planning other trips, including Adirondack hikes. I’m enjoying the latest inspiring issue of Peeks while I wait for my kiddo at dance. I can’t wait to hit the trail again! #ADK

We went away for the holidays, in part because I wanted to go big for my 40th birthday. It was so. Much. Fun! Disney World makes my inner child ridiculously happy. The weather was perfect all week, and it was a little hard returning home in a snowstorm after five glorious days in the sunshine state.

I swam in a pool surrounded by palm trees last night. Back to reality! We meet again, Upstate NY.

Last night’s Winter Solstice countdown activity was painting. I gifted us these adorable mini canvases and easels, and we painted something related to the season. I decided to make a sun with a spiral. 🌞 May your Solstice celebrations bring you peace and warmth. #WinterSolstice

Sometimes you need to make new traditions. This year, my husband, daughter, and I made a countdown to the Winter Solstice with daily prompts for a family activity. Yesterday’s was a late-night hot cocoa bar! It was delicious and a fun way to end the evening.
