Sometimes you have to temporarily adopt a Finn and take her to #Epcot for the first time.

Getting ready for my first Bingo! Hosting at the local Suomi Talo (Finnish-American House).

Practicing my numbers. 😆

YAS! I have been recommended and voted unanimously to stay as my Library Board Chair. It honestly meant a lot to me, with vocal new members, who I thought would want the position. We have a solid great board and we are all aligned on our goal of keeping our Library as the best!

I'm in such awe of this caterpillar. Per #GoogleLens, it's a Fig Sphinx Moth. It blends in so well to my baby fig tree, but I'm blown away by the size.

Excited to see marketers get public love in this ad in the @wsj.com today. Frustrated they're all executives (however, that's the basis of Marketers That Matter.) I'd love to see some worker-bee's get recognized.

I haven't stopped, I'm not sure when that day will come, but I jumped straight from an out of state conference into a full-time volunteer job with the most amazing Finns on this planet.

In Lake Worth, swing by Midnight Sun Festival and let's talk all things Sister Cities.

My new morning routine. 🌅

@wsj.com got me with a flyer in the mail for a discounted year subscription. I didn't realize I'd get daily papers. 🥰 What a bonus.

I love that it functions on gravity. As one cart goes down. The other is pulled up the hill.

And the best way to get there. 🥰

"The banks work to create an illusion of an economic system, that works only for the 1%. They are working to deepen that gap between the 1% and the rest of the world."

An absolutely beautiful day at Mounts Botanical Garden in West Palm. I had my beginner tai chi class, and I feel ready to conquer anything and everything.

It's an appropriate time to share my first real snow adventure when I visited southern Germany with friends.

This Florida girl loved every second of it! Germany is a beautiful country with some super sweet people.

WIP 🧶 I'm making this baby free-hand with no pattern. I plan for it to be a boho-vest of sorts. I just fell in love with the color gradient so we'll see.

My library didn't have an audio book I was looking for. I sent an email and crossed my fingers. They ordered it for me!

When in doubt, just ask. 📚

My walk from Caminha to Tui was beautiful and flat along the river, but LONG! It was the one time I actually called an Uber (and one wasn't available). I struggled but kept walking. I wish there was a water taxi I could've taken.

And I would do it again.

While the states are covered in snow, I'm just excited for all of this rain. My plants are too. 🌺
