Former bookseller, I now work at a nature center on the shore of Lake Michigan. And I still like talking about books.
Hoping happy blood sugar lasts all the through November, which is Diabetes Awareness Month.

This is not normal or easy for me. This is WORK! But the results are worth it.

34 years ago today, I was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes.

This is what I've thought about every time I've eaten a meal since then. 🙂

In all seriousness, this disease is a lot of work. But I'm also grateful for all the progress that has been made in helping us live with it.

Out #birding with my team yesterday before work. We saw 64 species, including 18 warblers!

It was a special morning.

Love this morning's view of mother and her baby Barred Owl. You can watch the live nest cam here:

Late with my #FridayReada. Let’s make it my Saturday Read.

I follow Andrea Gibson on Instagram and found their words powerful, so I picked up this poetry collection. Savoring these poems.
