Straight hair is such a fun change from time to time.

I limit heat styling on my hair since it can be damaging and can even cause dreaded yellowing, but sometimes I just crave a change from the waves.

➡️To straighten, I apply a leave in conditioner after washing and conditioning, air dry, apply a heat protectant, and flat iron on low.

I’ll post more info in my stories for you and will make a reel this week as well.

The sound of my Dad’s knee popping as he climbed the stairs used to be my morning alarm clock. My daughter sleeps with her door closed and a fan on, otherwise I could easily be her alarm clock as well.

❤️We had a lovely time celebrating my beautiful niece’s wedding in Buffalo this weekend.

🛳We also made time to visit Niagra Falls, which I highly recommend. If you go, be sure to take the Maid of the Mist boat ride. So cool.

You know what else is cool? My dress has pockets. 😂 It’s the little things. Thanks, @boden_clothing 🥰

Ironically, the only predictable part of having rheumatoid arthritis is the unpredictability. I never know what the day will bring.

Some days are better than others, but Fridays always bring a smile regardless.

Happy Friday, lovelies. I wish you all a beautiful weekend.

If you’re going to throw it back you might as well throw it way back, right?

1989

📣One would never have guessed back then when I was jumping and tumbling about that one day I’d have rheumatoid arthritis and struggle to even walk some days. Life is so unpredictable. 🤷🏼‍♀️

❤️If I knew then what I know now I would definitely have made some changes, but I have no regrets.

Happy Monday!

❤️I wanted to spread some love and beauty with you today here and in my stories with images from the Immersive Van Gogh exhibit now showing in Indianapolis at the beautiful Newfields Museum. 🌻🌻

It was incredible but would have been so much better if there has been at least a few quiet moments. There were shrieking children and full conversations (not hushed) all around, so at times we couldn’t even hear the music. It was disheartening: I guess one good outcome of the distractions is that it kept me from sobbing through the entire show. It has the power to move one to tears and I would have been a mess, for sure.

The LOVE sculpture in the first picture is the original work created by #robertindiana. The last two slides are from the gift shop. 🤣 I loved the umbrellas on the ceiling and we bought the ornament as our souvenir.

Be sure to see my stories today for a few video clips from the show. It’s amazing. I will go back again after calling first to see the least crowded times.

I remember that day well, and sharing with my daughter for a social studies assignment yesterday brought it back so clearly.

In Albany, NY, apartment hunting with my then boyfriend now husband, we heard about the first plane on the radio on our way the first apartment viewing scheduled that day. At that point, like everyone else I know, we thought it was a terrible accident.

The news was on in the office of the first apartment complex we visited. While waiting for the apartment manager to get the keys, the second plane hit and changed everything. We all stared at the screen in disbelief and didn’t know what to do. My stomach churned and tears were already forming. Shock. We didn’t even look at the apartment. We felt the need to get back home to be with friends back in Cooperstown. Many of these friends had family members in NYC who worked there during the week and came home on the weekends.

On the ride home we heard about the next two tragic events. I remember wondering what would happen next- feared what more was possible. We tried calling family and friends, but since we weren’t alone in this need, the surrounding cell towers couldn’t handle the capacity and we couldn’t get through. It would be many, many hours before me made contact and finally heard from those we knew in the city. Their stories stick with me to this day.

I never did move to Albany, but chose instead to stay in Cooperstown and commute over an hour each way several times per week to complete my MS in ED degree. The need to stay close to friends seemed more important than ever.

Each year I listen to survivors and family members of those who lost their lives share their stories. It’s painful but I feel it’s important. I also like to remember how unified the United States felt at that time.

I will never forget.

➡️Where were you when you first realized what had happened on 9/11/01?
