Are You a Mystery Buff?
Still Life by Louise Penny My rating: 4 of 5 stars I learned about this book through the “What Should I Read Next” podcast. The idea of the book intrigued me because I have always loved a good detective story, especially if the author has created a series of books involving the same detective. I…

Three Things I Am Adding To My Life
After having been on this planet for four-and-a-half decades, it now seems that my body is teaching me lessons I was loathed to learn in my 20’s or even 30’s. Being a hard-charger who rarely says “No” to a task and saw resting as weakness, it has been difficult to realize that my body is…
