How we could eat real meat without harming animals – Isha Datar
Some of you may know that I’m currently enrolled to earn a Bachelor’s Degree in Sustainability Studies. I’m not totally sure what I want to use that for yet, but something inside of me feels like it’s a path I need to follow so I’m seeing where it takes me and waiting for my “aha”Continue reading “How we could eat real meat without harming animals – Isha Datar “
It’s been a while
And I’m not going to make apologies or excuses. I’m a real person with a real life to handle in addition to my business. But I do miss everyone. What’s been keeping me so busy? I started classes to get a Bachelor’s Degree! Returning to college in my 30s has been equal parts time consumingContinue reading “It’s been a while”
Goodbye, 2021!
A lot of good things happened in 2021, and some not so great things. For me, the important part is that I’m still here. I’m still healthy. My family is still healthy.

Many of you knew I got two doses of the Pfizer Covid vaccine in early 2021 and that the second dose kicked my butt.

Are laundry detergent sheets a new thing? Somewhat. Is Kind the only companyContinue reading “Kind Laundry”
MUD/WTR
MUD/WTR has a really weird name. I know. And yet, I enjoy it immensely. What is it exactly? The short version is it’s a coffee replacement beverage but really you can drink it anytime you want. Since it doesn’t have a high caffeine content, it’s delightful any time of the day. MUD\WTR™ is a coffeeContinue reading “MUD/WTR”
I have a lot of feelings on the recent Texas abortion ban
Fair warning to those who may be affected, I will be discussing my feelings on termination of pregnancies. If you’re someone who is unwilling or unable to acknowledge a position other than the traditional “pro-life” stance, this may not be the post for you.

Well that was one heck of a rollercoaster
I like to think I’ve generally been careful throughout the whole pandemic. During such unprecedented times it’s hard to know what the “right” choice really is, or even if there’s one at all. Are you ready for this rollercoaster with me? It starts on Sunday, August 15. I’ve already canceled my plans to see theContinue reading “Well that was one heck of a rollercoaster”
