2023-06-05 No Drama Here…

It’s been a hot minute since I’ve written anything blog worthy, and this might be no exception but I’m doing it anyway. Actually I wrote a few sentences over the past week but it came from a place of emotional unrest and frustration. Not to worry friends, the storm clouds have abated and the burden…
2023-05-18 Organize to Prioritize

I started this post just now because I have a lot of thoughts. Lots of disorganized-all-over-the-map thoughts. Maybe I’m hoping getting it all down will help to sort through it and pick out my priorities. I move my daughter home from UNL yesterday and she’s officially a senior in college. Super hard to believe, but…
2023-05-15 The Mystery of Finding Treasure

We’re halfway through the month of May and for some measure of money and faith, I can offer an update that I’m still on the right track. Saying “no” agrees with me and I’m getting better at it. I’ve effectively said no to one professional public appearance and also backed out of a personal commitment…

2023-04-11 There’s No Way Like the Just Say “No” Way…

My current declaration is that I am backing off from making new commitments and revoking goals that have previously been set. I’m just saying “no.” I don’t have any more professional public appearances on the books and have completely let go of *most* of my monthly resolutions—No dietary modifications, writing objectives, reading quotas, exercise directives,…
2023-04-05 Passover or Whatever

Passover, flyover, rollover. Over and over, until you die from it. Forget it. Good gravy! ❌ Content warning… E.T. is mentioned seven times in this post. Eight if you count this warning. I did a thing yesterday and didn’t die from it and my reward was to wake up and spend another day marveling at the mysteries of…
