Therapeutic Cleaning



As odd as it may sound. I love Youtube cleaning videos!  I highly recommend, Amy Darley's youtube cleaning videos. There is something very therapeutic and calming about cleaning. I feel like once my house is cleaned, I can concentrate and focus.  It's hard to concentrate when everything is cluttered and dirty. It's like the physical clutter surrounding you, actually takes up mental space as well.  Amy Darley has a very upbeat and optimistic personality which I think has contributed to her successful Youtube channel.

I binge watched, The Maid, on Netflix over Fall Break. There was lots of good reviews on this limited series. However, I wished I hadn't watched it. I found it very disturbing. I would recommend that anyone that has ever known someone or experienced domestic violence to avoid this show. I feel that the show could be very triggering. Spoiler alert: The series has a happy ending for this mother and daughter.  However, many victims of domestic violence don't have a happy ending or it takes a very long time. I should mention the series was based off a true story and book.

Returning to College

                                           College is hard for everyone.  Every student has their own unique challenges.  The first few days you are looking for the right building, classroom, or figuring out a pathway.  As the days, become weeks time management, organization, and being prepared will become factors to being successful.  Everyone is here to succeed but that is challenging,  Most of us have jobs, responsibilities, and possibly children.  As an older adult, returning to college after sixteen long and rapid technology filled years.  What does returning to college look like for me? It looks like..... a lot of trial and error with technology.  I haven't been "sitting under a rock" but when you don't have to use it everyday....it completely surpasses you.  It has been sixteen years since I was in college. ...
