Dirt under my fingernails, not diamonds on my fingers anymore. LOVE THIS COUNTRY SONG! I’ve been dirt poor and Uber wealthy. I was raised by a single mom with 6 kids, we were always one paycheck away from welfare. I worked hard to get out and move up. I was an honor student (even though […]

If more people imbibed cannabis, we’d have less needless deaths caused by barfly drunks (DUI’s), nefarious, demonic, dangerous, crackhead, methed, heroin addicted peeps. When will folks who’ve never smoked pot but are addicted to Zoloft, Wellbutrin, Xanax, Ativan admit that marijuana is NOT addicting and does NOT lead to more harmful drug choices. I don’t

I have ADHD (diagnosed at 45) so I have to have background music when I work or study. I’m also a designer (Fashion as well as Farmhouse Flipper) so I LOVE visually stunning, chakra stimulating colors and/or calming colors (peeling paint on barn doors/floors from the 1700-1900’s.).

These are my peeps. They must have been deprived of Tonka trucks as a kid and said “screw you, I’m going to have a life size one on my porch when I get older.” I stopped by Bleecker & Greer on the mid coast of Mainebecause I was craving fried egg, truffle or my new

I have adult female diagnosed ADHD. Those of you who know me say “not shocking”. However, I was not diagnosed until I was 45. I was just told I had a “passion for communication“ as my dead ex-husband called it. Which was a nice way of saying I talked ALOT. I loved the moniker so

Just think how well behaved the last two decade of children would have been if our teachers weren’t in the role of babysitting and saving their lives. Ballet teaches reverence for yourself and ballet teachers and creates respectful young students. We need more ballet teachers in our schools.

I was once a ballerina in my youth. I binge-watch and live vicariously through these ballerinas. And I’m building a workout/ballet studio in my 1864 farmhouse-saw mill. I think it’s the first time this home has EVER seen a dance studio. Peeps in this house in the 1800’s were more concerned about getting logs down

I pray this 104 year old WWII veteran gets his wish to vote for the right party again in 2028. He’ll be 108, peeps who are happy with their lives, drink beer/fave cocktail daily, stay mentally and physically active, my “No more heels on wheels” folks here in Maine were 93 and 99 and still
