I’ve made some adjustments

I first started this page in the fall of 2022. Ashley, Nora, and I go on lots of little jaunts and some longer trips, and I thought it would be cool to share some of what we do. It’s not that I feel our lives are that out-there interesting where the whole world wants to see what we are up to, I’ve never been that self-absorbed or felt that self-important, but I get distracted reading about other’s lives and things they do and sometimes find inspiration in that. 

The original idea, and I’m sticking to this with the reboot (can it really be called a reboot if it never got off the ground?) is to share different things under the premise of almost all things in life can be a map, a guide, a directional force for the past, present and future. 

Recipes are a map to a delicious (sometimes not) meal. Books are a map to dreams, self-improvement, history, others’ drama, and more. An actual map, or GPS, can take us on adventures we’ve never dreamed of, or maybe we have?

We will be sharing parts of our lives we feel may resonate with others. Some humorous, some challenging, some delicious (we aren’t foodies but we do like food!), some thoughtful, some you may find boring, who knows? What I do know is that if you enjoy what we are sharing, welcome to our world. If you don’t care for what you see, feel free to move on. Nobody is forcing you to stay and be miserable if this isn’t your cup of honey-ginger tea (recipe in a future post). There is a space for you out there somewhere, and our feelings won’t be hurt if it’s not with us.

I will leave you with this thought attributed to Marcus Aurelius:  "When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive – to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love."
