“High Hopes”. .♡
Hello, Welcome to Marcia’s Cottage. I’m so happy to see you today my friend. ♡ Shall we have a little tea. I’m not sure if I have shared this with you.. But I’ve been taking a few classes at CSUSB. It’s been so nice to take classes just for FuN…♡ For years my Schooling involved taking classes I “needed” to take for my career. It’s a very different experience to take a class you choose. With that said, I’m also finding more and more that “LIFE” is just one big classroom. Very exciting! Do you find this to be true … Read the full blog post

Karma. ..♡
Hello, Welcome to Marcia’s Cottage. I’m so happy to see you today my friend. ♡ Happy Thursday! How are you adjusting to these longer days of light? I’m really loving the change. It’s funny, because in some ways it feels like I get more things done. Do you feel this way too? For example the other day when I woke up, it was still dark outside. So I tip-toed downstairs, poured myself some coffee…. and then headed back upstairs to do some reading, quiet reflection, yoga, and a little work on my “Marcia’s Cottage” blog. This is my usual routine … Read the full blog post
