(Editor’s Note: I’m thrilled to welcome back Julie Raelyn today for a terrific review of the Canyon Theatre Guild’s online production of Strangely Distant in Awesometown! xo, Mary) Well, I want to start off by saying these are strange times, indeed. On an indefinite pause […]
Between COVID-19 and ongoing social injustice, it can be difficult to come up for air this year. I’ve attempted to keep myself as “zen” as possible and enjoy the little things in life lately. This usually involves getting out and about (safely. Wear a mask!) […]
This post is sponsored by WellPet but the content and opinions expressed here are my own. As if you haven’t noticed, I really love my dogs. I rarely meet any canine I don’t immediately love and wish I could save them all. Hammond, AKA Hammy, […]
So, it’s been a while since my last post. At the end of May, I was typing away at several stories that I was excited to soon share. I’d received such positive feedback from my posts about our current state of the world and living […]
Happy Cinco de Mayo, quarantine edition! While I know most of us had planned on an epic Taco Tuesday celebration, guess what? We’re still safer at home. Mike and I have been trying to make the most of this “pause”; finally hanging up paintings, going […]
It’s hard to believe it’s once again Monday. While I know I’m not the only one beginning to go a little stir crazy (or maybe you’re already there?), I’ve been attempting to keep busy. Easier said than done, I must say. I feel antsy. The […]

Welcome back! Thanks to all who gave me great feedback and love on my first installment of Support Local. In these strange times of health safety closures, we’re all in this together. It breaks my heart to think of all the local businesses that are […]
During these times, I’ve had a lot of extra time on my hands to think. Think about new blog series, articles, ways to support during this “pause,” and so forth. As I’ve said before, I don’t want to give up on my website nor not […]
So, another Coronavirus inspired post. How is everybody doing? Never would I have imagined that everyone’s lives would be at such a worldwide standstill. Shortly after I posted this article, I received confirmation that both a friend’s wedding and my Eastern press trip are postponed. […]
So, it’s been a few weeks since my last post. When I hit “Publish” on my Springtime in Washington piece, little did I know that we would soon move into a worldwide pandemic and go into quarantine. While I’m fine and show no signs of […]
