I’ve Been Pondering…
The Icelandic phrase “þetta reddast” which means “it will all work out in the end.” I wrapped up all my projects a week early and have begun my summer vacation away from to-do lists and over thinking and letting go of the illusion of control. In other words, I hope it will all work out…

While spring fever has its grip on many, and the world’s trying to send me a message, I have to admit between the cold, rain, and sleet that I don’t have an enthusiastic spring response. I’m trying to shake off the crazy March weather as a new month is ready to greet us with rain,…
