Self-Care Sunday: End of Summer

According to the calendar, we are close to the end of summer. But the summer temperatures where I live in Southern California are not even close to ending. We don’t really have fall, except for a slight temperature drop at night. The days of September are about the same as August, low to mid 80s, … Continue reading Self-Care Sunday: End of Summer

Self-Care Sunday: Journey with God

Let me explain. I took this photo (yes standing in the middle of active railroad tracks) shortly after I lost my job in 2020. Now, 2 years later, I'm still looking for full-time employment! I never imagined back in March of 2020 that I would soon be without full-time employment for over two years, but … Continue reading Self-Care Sunday: Journey with God

Self-Care Sunday: Turn off the News

Inflation, shootings, people doing all around bad stuff. My mind can only take so much bad news before I spiral into thinking this country is terrible and I want to leave! Therefore, I'm declaring Sunday to be a NO NEWS DAY! With one caveat. The Sunday Morning Show with Jane Pauley’s calming demeanor. Even the … Continue reading Self-Care Sunday: Turn off the News

Self-Care Sunday: Immersed in Monet

We spent this weekend at another artist immersion exhibition. This time it was impressionist artist Claude Monet. And just like the Van Gough exhibit was saw last year, this was a multi media event with interactive exhibits, and stunning visuals. This exhibit did a great job of giving context to the impressionist movement. A series … Continue reading Self-Care Sunday: Immersed in Monet

Celebrating Mom’s 85th! 

For some people, spending time with family may seem more anxiety inducing than stress relieving self-care. But fortunately for me, spending time with my mom is actually a form of self-care for me. And it’s all because of how we care for each other. This weekend marks my mom’s 85th birthday, and we’re celebrating by … Continue reading Celebrating Mom’s 85th!

‘Rapt’ Up in the Experience

This past weekend, I celebrated my birthday looking out over the Pacific Ocean as a Peregrine Falcon spots a tasty morsel of food and flies with absolute precision to nab it. The best part was that this bird landed on my gloved fist so I could take a good close look at its beauty. Fortunately, … Continue reading ‘Rapt’ Up in the Experience

Meals and Memories

For as long as I can remember, my dad talked about his favorite restaurant. A local Mexican restaurant he discovered when he was still a bachelor. Once he got married and moved out the neighborhood, we didn't go there very often. But whenever we did go back to this place called El Cholo, he'd ask … Continue reading Meals and Memories

Class has begun, and for this fall it's scheduled zoom classes. Which means I'll actually get to interact with my classmates this year. I was a … Continue reading Fall Semester, with a Life Lesson

Cast Your Worries

Life has very difficult moments, and reactions to these moments can be feelings of sadness, anger, regret, depression, etc. Then there's the worrying. Worrying about what will happen next. Will things get better or worse? I'm guilty of doing more than my fair share of worrying over such things. For this Self-Care Sunday, I would … Continue reading Cast Your Worries
