#YWCAMDI Empower Hour on the second Wednesday of each month. Stop by on your way home from work to share light snacks and good conversation.

On Dec 10 at 5:30 we will welcome Jen Byer as she leads us in learning how to welcome relaxation during this busy time of year. All are welcome!

I hold a deep love for the USA, its people and lands. To protest is an act of love, to peacefully gather and express our determined desire that our country not be further blighted and dismantled by an administration bent towards authoritarianism.
I do so because YOU Matter. Everyone matters ❤️

Starting to sew a shirt for Larry… he did mutter something about it looking better as a tablecloth, but he is a man of color and I am sure he will embrace it once complete. The world is too dark right now to skip out on color whenever possible ❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜

A lovely sunset swim… goodnight lovely pond pal ❤️‍🔥

Tonight I am trying Madame Laracine’s Gratin Dauphinois via the wondrous Patrica Wells. The potatoes are first cooked in a bath of milk, bay leaf, salt and garlic. Followed by a nice long bake in the oven layered with crème fraîche and Gruyère.

Congratulations to Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado, who has been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize! ❤️🇻🇪

Their daily love fest 💛

My mind was aflutter and excited to begin writing a piece for a talk I am to give in Dec. Spending a morning immersing myself in the stories of my ancestors, connecting with the tales, beliefs and ways that have survived, thrived, and shifted through time- what a joyous way to begin the day!

Looks like Santa has sent out his spies… have you been naughty or nice?
