Today I am shopping for a Keurig machine (there you go, free advertising). I have the longest to-do list I never thought I would ever have and I slept in, losing about three to four hours of precious time. Fine living is a great thing.

Relaxed mornings out on the porch with good coffee and a great book in hand are priceless. We live in an era where the “go, go, go” mentality is embedded without questioning. I am rebelling against that mentality.

I am standing up for a life of relaxation, accomplishment, style, joy, wonder and all the things that make one think of diamonds and baguettes–without regrets.
