Sunday I visited Pompeii and what an experience it was. So incredible. A Bit of History Pompeii was settled in the 8th century BCE. It went through several battles and changes in culture that I won’t get into until it fell under the Roman Empire around 80 BCE. It’s the Roman influence that has made … More The Italian Journals: A Day at Pompeii
Ciao cari lettori e saluti dall’italia! It’s a rainy day here in Napoli. (Piove = it’s raining.) I went out a bit earlier today (some of you may have seen my lives and posts on Insta), but the rain has driven me back inside. At the beginning of the month, I announced I had moved … More The Italian Journals: Exploring Pozzuoli
I thought I’d do an almonst-but-not-quite-mid-month reading update. Why? Because who doesn’t love reading stats. To recap, in January, I read a total of 48 books. February, I read 18 books. And how much have I read in March so far? Okay, so that’s not technically true. I have read emails and the area orientation … More Reading Update March

Happily, unlike my last international move, this time it’s not covid. So the flight, which was also shorter than my last … More Moving Abroad, Again
Today starts the last year of my 40s. Today I turned 49. Forty-nine. Four Nine. The end year of my 40s. Another decade of life nearly done. It’s weird to think that in 365 days I will start a new life decade when I turn 50. Fifty. Fif-tee. The big 5-0. Five-Oh. A half century. … More Starting the Last Year of My 40s
As I wrote in my End of Summer post, I started purging my books. It all started as a way to declutter. Like many people, during the covid years, I signed up for all sorts of subscription boxes, as well as just bought a bunch of books, puzzles, Legos, candles, and all sorts of other … More Downsizing My Home Library
How is it August 31?! I feel like I’ve been saying that all year, but August seemed to fly by fastest yet. One moment, I was wrapping up #WyrdandWonder and starting my June #BIPOC readathon and now it’s Labor Day weekend. So to catch up, June was a great reading month. I participated in East … More Summer’s End & Book Purging
