I literally put in a ton of miles traveling to see folks. LOL :) In 2026 I'm hoping to travel a bit less in an effort to spend more time at home/closer to home, and to be kinder to my body. The past two years I've only been averaging 4-6 nights at home each month, and that has to change. But I will still travel alot, and I'll try to keep my "farther out" upcoming travel cities in my rotation listed here to give everyone a head's up.

Gearing up for an exciting 2027! I can't believe 2026 is coming to a close!

Think of me like an onion... :)
Although I'm fairly common, I have an extremely unique flavor and can be utilized to fit into a limitless number of dishes and concoctions from cultures around the globe in a variety of different ways. You just have to know how to approach me and handle me. And I come with a variety of health benefits as a bonus! LOL
As you move deeper and deeper into an onion toward its center, no matter how many different layers you uncover, I'm still always consistently "me." You simply increase my concentration the deeper you go.
And don't turn your back on me for too long....I may surprise you and start growing unexpectedly in the pantry. ;)

I never sit still. I am always on the go.
Some people when making small talk will ask me what tv shows I’m currently following, and honestly all I can do is giggle. It’s rare I sit in one place long enough to watch a movie, much less a couple episodes of a tv show.
It’s a bit of a psychological hang up I have—a concern about wasting time. Don’t get me wrong, I can procrastinate with the best of ‘em. But when setting up my to-do list for a day or a week, I ALWAYS get a bit too ambitious with my hopes. And as a result, I do stretch myself a bit thin. Sometimes I surprise myself and get it all done, but oftentimes, I leave a couple things on the table for another day.

So when texting me or emailing me, please don’t think I’m ignoring you if I don’t respond. :) Odds are high that I’m just elsewhere doing 6 1/2 other things at the moment.

I need to do a better job of being a lazy slug. Lol. I think my body would appreciate it!

1) Work in my aquariums. They constantly need attention, and they’re never where I want them to be in terms of maintenance. I love them because no matter how many times I look at my tanks, every time I see something different.

2) Yardwork. (I miss my yard in Huntsville!!!) Everything I do in my yard is for the birds and the bees....literally. :) My hummingbirds and my butterflies are my babies during the Summer and Fall. Every plant I put in the ground in my yard is aiming to attract them. The rest of the year it’s for the goldfinches, vireos, cardinals, and bluebirds. And the occasional chickadee. For the moment I'm limited to what I can cram onto my tiny apartment patio in Pensacola. Hopefully that will change sometime soon.

3) Tennis. Although my lower body doesn’t appreciate the beating, tennis is probably the single greatest cardio workout I’ve ever had in my life (besides swimming). And it gives me an excuse to be outside during nicer weather.

4) Go south. (Typically Key West) Sometimes I like simply getting away to break up the day-to-day GOGOGO mentality. When I escape to the islands, I can hide the tablet and phone from myself, and truly disengage and recharge.
