I’ve found a certain peace at Substack, a deeper sense of being and writing that I’m enjoying so much and I know many of you have been reading and subscribing over there, and I want to thank you so much for joining me on yet another life journey, as you have for so many years …
Guess What? This Mountain A-Frame is My New Office Space!
LOVECATS! I’ve got exciting news! Well, I’m not sure it’s really that exciting to you, but I am OVER THE MOON about this! Just yesterday, I signed a lease and got the keys to this adorable little mountain a-frame to use as my new office space and I can’t wait to get in and start …
I think that I am kinda done, Can we just get to 2021? PLEASE
Hello Lovecats! After an accidental but oddly refreshing blogging hiatus, I am here just to say hi and chat a little. I am however, not making any claims about blogging regularly, as lately it just feels inauthentic, though as much as I’ve thought about it, I can’t seem to figure out why. Maybe it’s the …
Consistency is A Struggle with A Screaming Baby
I get a lot of questions about running Dogwood Tavern and what the business is like and I often have a difficult time finding the words to express it and share. It’s not all rainbows and sunshine, I’ll tell you that much, and I don’t want to come off as negative or ungrateful but I …

hello, goodbye… hello, goodbye
L O V E C A T S …Hello! It’s been a hundred years, well a few weeks anyway, and the longest accidental break I’ve taken from this space since I began blogging over ten years ago now. It’s crazy that I’ve been here in this space for so long, before social media really even …
#MondayMotivation // Embrace What Is… Then Think Bigger
I didn’t get a chance to blog all last week, and it drove me insane. Every day I thought about all the things I wasn’t accomplishing instead of seeing exactly what I was, and that’s never a positive place to be, mindfully speaking. If I’m going to be able to make both careers work, I …
Looking For New Home Decor, Beauty, & More Blogs to Share

Then and Now // Now and Then
Something happens to me now when I know I have to or even when I want to write something… and by write something, I mean, write a long post, more than just a few words or a few paragraphs, and I procrastinate. I procrastinate because I know how long and focused and LONG it’s going …
On Life, Floundering, Learning, & On So Many Jobs // Part One
In my early twenties, I had many different jobs. Sort of like now actually; I have many jobs ~ many of the same jobs I had then, really ~ but now they all collide and combine into one job and in a totally different way that didn’t even exist then ~ this blog. But as …
