It’s all personal
I'm Kim and I have a few blogs (and perhaps an issue with over sharing, and too much time on my hands). My other two projects are www.fiftyfiftyvision.com and www.thisisplanbe.com. I also tweet at https://twitter.com/TheKimTackett and instagram at http://instagram.com/kimtackett. But here, it's all personal. I show up once a week, sometimes less, never more. I don't have a niche or a purpose or a plan. Just a few stories and pictures. Welcome to my personal space.I write about stuff

Re-words
I think I adore the re-words, for the same reason I love to concept of do-overs. They give us a second chance to reconsider, revive and even rejoice. Three views of our refrigerator. Reverb. Kate’s favorite, especially parking lot reverb. … Continue reading
