Scenes from an almost 5-mile walk this autumnal Saturday afternoon. I heart walks and I heart October. And I doubly heart creeks and brooks and lakes and nature. What a beautiful day. All images credited to This Square Peg. Babble, brook. Babble. Happy Saturday.
Blogtober #16: How it started/How It’s Going.
Started on the left, Going on the right This is the latest trend I’ve been seeing on social media, the how it started and how it’s going challenge. I don’t do the trend thing, by and large, but this one I like. Seeing your growth, seeing your changes. I’m all about that self-assessment life. Your …

Blogtober #15: Abbey Road.
Five years ago today. In London, mid-autumn, travelista-ing, crossing the same road that one of my favorite musical groups walked on and named an album after. Yes, I squealed. Thanks to my beloved Daddy for introducing me to a love of traveling, of music, and of the Beatles. 💜
Blogtober #14: How Do you Sleep?
Photo by Ketut Subiyanto on Pexels.com I sleep with the television on. Yeah. So ever since I was a wee Square Peg, the quiet of night didn't sit well with me. I couldn't take it. Being a light sleeper since childhood, I can hear everything. Everything. (My Dad worked at night and loved to point …
Blogtober #13: Do Your Thing.

Blogtober #11: Sundays.
Sundays were my favorite growing up. Comics. Some of you out there remember newspapers. I still love them. When I was a wee Square Peg, my pops would buy the giant Sunday version of The Washington Post, which meant a voluminous comics section, which meant a color comics section, at that (the weekday comics were …
Blogtober #10: but for why, Target?
Saturday means groceries and apparently, this Saturday meant breathtaking sticker shock when the lovely cashier pronounced my total at the Target register. Are those numbers correct, ma’am? Sure, there were a few things in my cart that I didn’t originally have in mind when making my mental grocery list. But still. Did I purchase furniture? …
Blogtober #9: Styled by Zoom
Bon Friday. Some Zoom lewks over the past month. • Crochet passion twists are my newest protective style. My first time with passion twists and they’re pretty great. • My makeup for these looks: other than the lippies you see, none at all. I only wear lipstick and I’m good to go. I’m sure the …
Blogtober #8: She Writes.
A bit of self-promotion this fine autumn. Did you know that I’ve written and published three books? Yes, you say, it’s on the Writing tab on your blog, TSP. This is true. But we’re highlighting my work on the main page today. All my books can be purchased on Amazon right here. Note that this …
