I have been silent these last few months; for one reason or another. Lots of updating to do, but that's for a later date. Right now, I want to use this site as a tribute to the one who loved me as her daughter. Today, we laid my sweet aunt to rest. She was only 58 years old … Continue reading auntie
hashtag blessed
Our social media platforms are filled with hashtags. In my day, these were actually called pound signs, but somehow we all just kind of adapted a new name for them once Twitter came around. Either way, these symbols and the words that follow them allow us to see all kinds of posts and pictures related … Continue reading hashtag blessed

Oh, hey! I'm Megan. I'm new here. I have thought of this moment for 2 years. Crazy, right? And in those two years, I never could think of a clever, funny, or interesting introduction. So I just went with the idea that I am actually greeting you in person, which, in some way, kinda sorta … Continue reading numero uno
