Book Review: I Am Nujood, Age 10 and Divorced

October 11, 2015 by Karen Filed Under: Book / Book Reviews Leave a Comment

I Am Nujood, Age 10 and Divorced by Nujood Ali My rating: 2 of 5 stars I really wanted to like this book but I felt that it needed so much more. I mean, it was her story but it was so short and such light reading. I finished the book in 2 hours. There could have been so much more background into … [Read more...]

August 9, 2015 by Karen Filed Under: Book / Book Reviews Leave a Comment

Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail by Cheryl Strayed My rating:3 of 5 stars This was my beach book for summer of 2015. It was so very much better than the movie that I saw first.

Book Review: Younger

Younger by Suzanne Munshower My rating: 3 of 5 stars I don't normally read mysteries, thrillers, crime novels, etc. but it was a freebie from Amazon so I figured I would try it. It was a rough start for me trying to fit the pieces together but once I got into it then I was hooked. It wasn't … [Read more...]

One of my very favorite artists, @emily_jeffords, has started a monthly fine art collectors club by mail. June is my first month and it is focused on finding inner peace and the value of a life full of pleasure. 

For $12 a month, it includes beautiful artwork titled “When She Smiles”, a letter full of thoughts, a touch of perfume of the month to inspire your senses, affirmation or poetry of the month, and a curated music playlist. One day, I have a dream to actually own an original piece but for now these small prints will do. 

I framed this month’s artwork and took it to work to join the other framed pieces I have in my cubicle. Why have an ugly cubicle?

Hey y'all! I'm Karen, a Gulf Coast of Florida based purveyor of Southern sass. I'm an Indiana Jones & Anthony Bourdain wannabe. I'm introverted and usually found with my nose in a book and pen/pencil in hand. I'm addicted to yoga, lip gloss, dumplings, and have an intense love for Scotland and Paris.
