I love my Clare V. leopard clutch and how it really pops against a neutral outfit, but have been hoping to find a similar bag with handles and/or a strap. Bingo! This one is also from Clare V, with a top handle and a removable cross-body strap.

My healthy eating plan is going well, though has not budged the scale much, so I’ve begun tracking Weight Watchers points again to keep myself honest about portion sizes and snacking.

I’ve hired a photographer! She’s a lovely young woman and a student at one of the local community colleges. We did our first shoot yesterday, and I hope to have some images to share soon.

There’s no escaping that we are living in turbulent times. Though I am a woman of strong and (I hope) informed opinions, I made the decision a few years ago to stay away from politics on this blog and I’m holding myself that decision. But that doesn’t mean I haven’t been affected by the last few days and weeks. When anxiety is high and rhetoric gets heated, I find it helps to reconnect with and be guided by my values: kindness, compassion, an open mind, logic and reason, self-reliance, trying to do the most good for the most people, nature, and fairness. I reject bigotry, cruelty or willful ignorance.
Some good ideas for self-care here.
