A lot of us are being gas lit on the daily. This is so true! It's like a kind of hypnotism that we must all free ourselves from...the ultimate escape room. That was a huge lesson the blockchain taught

Those are big ones as well. I think all of the negative influences in the world create so many additional barriers to people living their best life. There are still people who find their way and that's

The introspection involved in writing about this prompt really did teach me a lot about how I view the world. I'm so glad you've connected with Memoir Monday and are doing such a great job representing

Your Mother sounds like a wonderful woman and it's clear that she loves you very much! Your description of her reminded me a lot of my Father, who was forced to be "tough" to survive when he

You're welcome! A lot of the big corporations just care about their bottom line now, sadly, and not as much about the product quality. The modern Old Spice smells decent for about five minutes then morphs

I really like the tobacco scents.

Life is such a journey! One thing I really enjoy about getting older is becoming more comfortable in our own skin. I had to look up Co. Offaly and it's quite a ways north. We went to Ireland in 2023 but

I remember Charlie from my childhood! It was very popular. My Mom wore Chanel No. 5 when we were younger. Hermes is the good stuff! I think my favorite modern female scent is Le Labo's Santal 33, it's

Thanks!

Thanks, we appreciate it!

Thank you.

Thanks! I'm more than happy with it. I think this might be my favorite one yet. : )
