Tomorrow is Earth Day. The theme for Earth Day 2021 is Restore Our Earth. To mark the occasion, I’m delighted to share “Every Day is Earth Day” – a poem written by my friend Pat Keachie for my Blog Takeover series last year.

February is heart month. It’s a month associated with romance and heart health. A few weeks ago, Eric over at The Thoughtful Beggar invited me to write a piece about love for their February “Love Is” collaboration series.
My friend over at Smelly Socks and Garden Peas invited me to contribute a guest post to her Lessons in Loss series.
At first, I didn’t feel qualified to write a post about loss. When I put my thinking cap on, an idea started to take shape. I was taken back to an emotional time when I lost my hair following my cancer diagnosis.
