Sometimes I have a hard time planning my goals. Long term is too much for me. If I don’t achieve my goals, I come down hard on myself. I rather plan weekly goals. Sometimes, I create monthly goals, for example, “No-Buy July.” I can go so far as to create yearly goals, for example, my…

Be Prepared!
For Valentine’s Day, I bought my husband and me safety kit with all the essentials, water filters, first aide, tents and sleeping bags. He wasn’t too impressed. The gift wasn’t romantic, it was practical. I also bought a solar power crank radio and charger. I don’t even know where we have a flashlight, but I…
Read MoreWords, Words, Words
I word that I use to much when speaking is “um”. It’s a filler word that I hate to use when creating videos on Instagram and TikTok. I hate that I do this and wish I didn’t. I’m a teacher and I hope I never do this with my students.
Read MoreMy Peace
There are many things that bring me peace. My dogs bring me peace. Reading for me is peaceful. Believe it or not, going to Disneyland brings me both joy and peace. The last thing that gives me peace is traveling to new places and taking beautiful photos.
Read MoreThe Most Admirable Professions
I feel like I’m in the profession that I admire the most. I’m a history teacher. I’ve also taught English. I don’t think there’s just one admirable profession. I admire doctors and how they can save a life. I can’t do that. I admire writers. I wish I was one. Writing on this blog satisfies…

This is another wonderful question. If I could open a store, it would be a bookstore. I’d also have a coffee shop attached. I’d want it to be a place where people could hold their book club meetings. I’d make the place feel like home for those who need to escape from life. I read…
Read MoreMy Important Things
The most important thing I carry with me at all times would be my reading glasses. I once had better than 20/20 vision, but that of course has changed a great deal. Without my glasses, I wouldn’t be able to read my phone (my 2nd most important carried object), my books or anything that would…
Read MoreChanging the World
There are so many things I would want my blog to change in this world. I would want people to love knowledge as much as I do. I would want people to see there is still some beauty in humanity. If we stand together and encourage one another to stand up against tyranny, we could…
Read MoreIn Another Life
If I lived in an alternate universe my loved ones would live healthy lives forever. I’m playing this off as a fantasy alternate universe. I wish my dad were still alive. Also, all of my pets who have passed the rainbow bridge would also be alive, forever. I would have super powers similar to Wonder…
Read MoreFood Splurge
The most money I ever spent on food was at Naples Ristorante E Bar at Disneyland (actually the Grand California next to DCA). This was for my husband’s birthday about six or seven years ago. We love Disneyland, but this was definitely not worth the price. There are other cheaper establishments that are better. I…
