A Few of my Favorite Things 2025

These are a few of my favorite things from the past year. 

First being an eye massager. It might sound weird, it did to me when I received not one but TWO as gifts!

They don't massage your eyeballs. They gently press around them and come heated or both heated and cooled. It helps my dry eye and migraine before it really gets going, and even some of my vertigo. 

This is the first thing I've found that helps any of those things (except eye drops do help with dry eyes, if you're not allergic to them!). Since receiving them, I've given many as gifts. They're wonderful! They come in various brands and styles, so look at your choices and chose what works for you! 

No, I don't get kickbacks for any of these things. This is just a short list of things that really worked for me this past year!

Another favorite thing is a dog from the SPCA. (A cat even, if you roll like that!) It's a wonderful organization and this little girl in the lilac sweater is my latest favorite doggo. 

Yes, yes, she's not a thing. She's a person and thanks to the SPCA she's part of my family now!

Any of the online writing workshops from Peas with Honey. They're for any level of writing, including beginners. I've been taking these the past few months and I love them.                                                                                                                                                     It's always a real commitment for me to give up a couple hours on the weekend, yet I love every minute I spend writing with this teacher, Bibi. It's prompt writing using the Amherst Writers and Artists method, which is a positive reinforcement and inclusive type of writing workshop. It inspires writers to dig deep and put it on the page using fun and clever prompts.                                                                                                    I highly recommend Peas with Honey. It's fun and inspiring. It's done via ZOOM a couple hours about once a week. You can sign up for just one class or whatever works for you.                                                                                                                                         If you have any questions you'd like to ask me about it, please contact me through this website. I've written with this teacher for years and highly recommend this group. Classes have a bit of an international flair and they offer a variety of class types.
