Sleep Masks

Sleep Masks

I don't sleep well. For a myriad of reasons; hormones, anxiety, sleep apnea, a snoring husband, getting up 2-3 times a night to use the bathroom, the list goes on and on. I used to be an epic sleeper for a good 10-11 hours on my own without waking up once. But that was in my teens and 20s. Now that … [Read more...]

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 💗 sending and receiving happy mail! One of I 💗 sending and receiving happy mail! 

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?

It's been said I'm a little bit country and a little bit rock 'n roll. Read More…
