Career Reinvention: Next Step…HOPE and a Fun Outfit!

If I look like I am smiling a little bigger here, it is only because I am feeling much better as I progress down the road toward a career reinvention.  The first month was more of a surprise…I did not expect to walk through the sadness and grief I felt at leaving my teaching position…

The Hope of Spring!

Pictures inside usually mean outside is a mess!  Even in South Texas, we have experienced a colder, wetter winter than we have had in a long time.

Gorgeous spring weather is a perfect reason for Sunday brunch on the patio at EGG & I.  I am in love with their VEGGIE BENEDICT dish!
