Last week I wrote about the loss of connection at a more personal level. Discussing the change in how society interacts appears to be doing more harm than good for us as a nation and as a world community. This week I want to discuss the loss of connection in the workplace and in support… Continue reading Loss of Connection (Part II)

The Loss of Human Connection (Part I)
At the airport this week, I did my customary stop at Hudson News to buy a snack and a drink, and sometimes a book or magazine. When I went to the counter to pay, I was asked if I was paying cash or card. Since I’m not one to carry cash, I said card. At… Continue reading The Loss of Human Connection (Part I)

We… Continue reading Democrats: Where are you?!
Off to the Wild Unknown
Tomorrow I make first trek away from home base in over two months. I’m both wildly excited to see some new scenery and stimulation, and wildly anxious about being out of my safe zone for the day. Where am I going you might ask? I’m taking a road trip to Ohio to bring some things… Continue reading Off to the Wild Unknown

I have really enjoyed working from home because it means I get to have lunch everyday with my husband, whom has also been working from… Continue reading Choose Wisely Men and Women
We Have Great Neighbors!
We have been twice blessed with great neighbors! In Albuquerque, we got to know our neighbors, helped them when we could, and heavens knows how much they helped us with the kids, and in not asking too many questions during some rough times. We all made sure to keep any eye on one another’s places… Continue reading We Have Great Neighbors!
