Welcome to my blog, Nine Cent Girl, which is my musings on family, food, and fashion, basically all life brings. This is not a philosophical or an epicurean or haute couture site, but instead a place to affirm all your own notions. I hope my nine cents will encourage you to live life fully!

Standing once more shoulder to shoulder with students, eyeing brushstrokes and needlework, architecture and artifacts, made breathing this week possible. In fact, the experience of the day gave us one moment to defy the gravity that has hit like a gut-punch once again. For this brief fleeting second we all jumped beyond our grief and soared into hope and imagination and laughter. My colleague and I realized how for some of our students this was indeed the first day where anxiety took a backseat. For us too. The burden our youth has carried these past years is enough to break ribs. Maybe even more… #newblogpost #linkinbio #arttherapy #fieldtrip #daytrip #nancywinshipmillikenart #mariashell

Three separate people this week asked me if I would gain more joy if I followed my decision. It is an echo that I can’t shake. Should joy be the yardstick by which we measure our lives against? I wonder what my ancestors would say about such a gauge. Didn’t they encourage work and work and work for family, community and country, until you could no longer do so? Only Sunday allowed for a shift, but even then, was joy the pinnacle they strove for during their enduring contemplation? No, I don’t think so. This is a new wind of change blowing away the Puritanical dust that damns all pleasure, demanding instead that we allow for joy. #newblogpost #linkinbio #radicaljoy 🌸
