I’ve thought about my mom often in the past few weeks. Not because it was her birthday or the anniversary of her death, but because of happenings. I was expressing my inner Maggie by welcoming people into my home. Hosting. Cooking. Sharing love through food. It’s what she most loved, and thankfully, I caught it … More Let’s Do Dinner
It was a string of wieners. You know, one thing leads to another. We were motivated (company coming) to finally address the finish details of the remodel of 2019. The one that spilled over into 2020, and like so many more important things, had come to a screeching halt. As of October, 2021, we finally … More The Bluebird of Happiness
It was during the early morning hours of Sunday, October 10th, 2021 this world lost a friend, Toni Macri-Reiner. Her death was an incredible shock to her family, friends, and the many communities to which she belonged: hypnosis and hypnosis trainers, healers, artists, Windsor Park neighbors, and others. We met in Numerology class a decade … More Toni, As I Knew Her
I was blessed with an unusually long red light on my way to Meijer this morning. An opportunity to observe a fascinating scene involving the dog riding in the back seat of a black, Nissan Maxima I’d been following westbound on Main Street. Who doesn’t love dog ears flapping in the breeze, a pup head … More One-Minute Canine Lesson
I woke up in a pissy mood. Didn’t have any interest in reading, or journaling about, anything uplifting. Didn’t want to watch my favorite morning news or hear nationwide Coronavirus death counts or stories of hatefulness directed toward teachers and school board members. I was angry at everyone in Washington, D.C. and wondering if there … More Stay in Your Lane; Be Authentic
In a past post, I mentioned our evening at The Feast of Lanterns in Woodruff Place, referring to it as artsy and fun and inspiring, https://debidixon.wordpress.com/2021/09/02/i-was-wrong/. It was fun because it was new and different and we spent time with friends, Art and Toni. It was an opportunity to visit booths of local artists. Kids … More Feasting on Kindness
I live in a wonderful community. One blessed by people who truly care about one another. I bet we have more food pantries, little free libraries, offers of free meals, and back-to-school-supply drives per square mile than anywhere in the country. We beautify our parks and consider people with disabilities and welcome refugees. We belong … More This is Not About That
This past weekend we had a Stay-Treat, or stay-at-home-retreat. We had planned to go camping, but we just weren’t feeling it. I suggested we rent a cabin in Brown County or Airbnb somewhere. BF assured me we could, in fact, retreat right, here, at home. I did not believe him. And I told him so. … More I Was Wrong
It’s been awhile, but today, I took my first step to writing here again–sitting my butt in a chair and opening my computer to this page. We’re in “that part” of summer. The pots on our patio are a bit overgrown. The floral vine has finally made her way up the wrought iron door BF … More When I’m Able
