Hello lovely internet friends,
I’m sorry this blog has been so stale. I have a couple of posts swirling about in my head, but whenever I sit down to write them, I feel so frivolous. To write about weekend activities or whine about the weather seems wrong in light of recent events.
I can’t imagine what the Virginia Tech community must be going through. My senior year of college, our campus was touched by gun violence as well. It rocked us to our core and changed forever my opinions about guns and my illusions of safety.
So, just for today, I write to express my thanks for all your friendships, either IRL or virtual. I wish for you all to know you are loved and appreciated. In this world that can be so ugly, I am surrounded by beauty in my relationships, and I know that I am blessed.

I hear you, friend. I’ve been drafting several posts this week and finally hit on one when I opened my jewelry box this morning. I’ll never forget that day. I can’t even turn the news on to see the coverage. Many of my coworkers went to Virginia Tech or know friends that go there.
As a side note, I was in the bathroom at work today when I thought of you.
I was checking my ass out in the full length mirror when someone walked right in and saw me! Ha! Oh, the things we allow ourselves to do in the bathroom at work!
Love to you and SB.
