The cool morning breeze kissing my cheeks. Dew on the grass blades so thick that it speaks. Whispering sweet nothings into my ear. All those little things I’ve been longing to hear.
The Magic Powers of Ricotta
Today, I made Italian Ricotta Cookies. I let Lyla take the reins and she was befuddled to learn that “cheese” was the secret ingredient. She chose pink for the icing. They were soft, delicious, and pretty dang easy to make.
The Story
A few months ago I stumbled across the genius that is Brandi Carlile. Upon first listen, I instantly felt a strong connection with her music. Her lyrics are deep and raw, along with her voice. This one has been on repeat lately. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8pQLtHTPaI
Walden and Civil Disobedience
On January 1, 2020, I finished reading my first book of the year. And it was a doozy. It opened my eyes to a brand new way of thinking. And also opened a new spot in my heart.

There is more day to dawn. The sun is but a morning star.
