While pondering this question, I can’t help but wonder if they meant my actual home or the state or town I live in. I decided to tell you how much I love California. First and foremost the beaches. I could never live in a place where there was no water nearby. I’m a short drive…

Embracing Enjoyment: What Brings You Joy?
The positive emotion I feel most often is enjoyment. I enjoy the delicious food I eat. I enjoy an entertaining movie (I LOVED Fantastic Four!!), or a walk along the beach. I enjoy spending time with the people and pets I love. I enjoy that first sip of hot coffee on an autumn day. I…
Read MoreGoals and Expectations
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…
Read MoreBe 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.

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…
Read MoreMy Store
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…
