2020 orbisculated us all.

Grapefruit is possibly the only fruit I dislike. Everything about it annoys me until it is added to a soda or a sparkling water, go figure. There’s no sense in that other than our senses don’t need to make any – well, sense. I could list all the things I dislike about fresh grapefruit but… Read More 2020 orbisculated us all.

I’m not brave.

Today has been good. I wanted to wait to write this on such a day. A day where I actively feel gratitude and blessed for my children.
