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!

Gold and silver and diamond and citrine and peridot: metal and stone fashioned and finessed into beauty and charm that keep me grounded in ancestry and lift me up into a glittery now. These pieces of art hold my attention. Remembering the hand that wore it first. Seeing the new place on a younger finger. Fidgeting with it on my own hand. Timeless pieces are powerful enough to send you far. They move you. #newblogpost #linkinbio #familyheirloom #metalandstone

Winter may be right beyond the window panes, but the promise of new beginnings is happening inside our home. We welcome the Year of the Rabbit with open arms and send our best wishes out to all 🐇 #chinesenewyear #yearoftherabbit #peace and #prosperity 🧧

I must say I am finding all sorts of avenues to court joy these days. Sometimes it’s in the competency of the woman who draws a vile of blood from me, or in a colleague who sends an especially sweet text after an afternoon run with me, or a dear friend who has offered to do me a huge favor with her precious and newly retired time. Joy floats all around in those sweet gifts. But there is something else that I am feeling. I am happy about many of my choices: those made yesterday, last year, maybe even ten years ago, when I set in motion a lifestyle with Future Me in mind. You get what I mean right? It didn’t all happen at once, but little by little I realized that I needed to lead Present Me around on a short lease and think about tomorrow. She’s a bit of a wild child who wants to run, well wild, this Present Me. She’s not always reliable. She’s not factual either. Oh the stories she tells afterwards are pretty colorful, but they can led to a less than happy future me. Sometimes Present Me does win me over, and sometimes, even in her worst decisions, I smile, a bit hungover, with sore dancing feet, and an embarrassing selfie plastered all over my socials at midnight… but mostly, I keep her in check.

Probably the best part of my plan to face January is to get outside in the cold arctic monocratic solemn stillness that is her mantle. Bundle up first. Then find your best spot to survey what is going on all around you in the nature world. Breathe. You’ve been here before. You’ve certainly fallen here before. And you’ve risen here too. Today is yet another opportunity to take a few more steps on your journey. Move in the air. #survivaltips #newblogpost #linkinbio #january
