I’m still in “Christmas Break Mode” and I consider the fact that I did laundry today a pretty big accomplishment. Well, I haven’t folded it yet, but I did moveContinue reading “I’m Going To Dream Small This Year.”

What Are You Wearing?

My Bermuda Triangle
I’m fairly confident that if you blindfolded me, put me in your car (preferably not the trunk) took me to a shopping mall that I’d been in at least one time, dropped me in the center of the mall and asked me to direct you to the food court, The Gap, or the nearest restroom,Continue reading “My Bermuda Triangle”

I Don’t Want To Let Go!
Hi. My name is Christy and I struggle with letting go. Hi, Christy. I mean, I get excited about new things, but I don’t like having to let go of what is familiar and comfortable and safe.
