Hey there!

This stream of consciousness is intended to be an unfiltered account of my journey to fight my way to a healthier, happier life. One day at a time, one step at a time, one organically-grown-emotionally-raw blog post at a time…

  • 2017-10-30 Maui Day 1 🏖️

    Today was a combo between total beach day, relaxation, and planning ahead. This morning I made the kids breakfast and after that I spend a good hour or two planning out our week and talking to the homeowner of the AirBnb we are staying at who has lived here for four years and knows everything…

  • 2017-10-30 Waking Up in Maui 🌺

    I woke up to the sound of roosters crowing. That was about 2AM. They have been at it off and on since then and it’s almost 6AM now. I think the kids are still sleeping though I can’t see how they could given the now almost constant crowing. We are very much in a local…

  • 2017-10-29 On the Move Again ✈️

    We’ve been up since 5. We flew north to Minnesota. We laid over for 2.5 hours.  And now we are on a 8 hour flight to Honolulu. I think this is the longest flight I’ve ever been on. Perhaps Dublin to Atlanta in 2010 was longer, but if was, it wasn’t by much. After this…

  • 2017-10-28 Switching Gears.. In 3rd Person

    The post that is the conclusion of the “to be continued” previous posts on career and health and romance will be coming to the WordPress reader steam near you soon. However, at this time we are interrupting that regularly scheduled programming to take you to our world traveling corespondent, Miss SugarCookie. She will be blogging…

  • 2017-10-17 Giving Credit Where Credit is Due

    A few days ago I wrote about finally doing something I have been afraid to do for years. Fear may or may not be the right word, but at the heart of it, there is always some reason and that is the closest I thing I can come to pinpointing the root of why I…

  • 2017-10-27 On History Repeating

    The last few days have been strange in the way it feels I’m living certain days and events of my life over again. Today it continues and I’ve been “hit” with one more. This one on a much more personal level. I was just doing random chores around the house and finishing dishes in the…

  • 2017-10-26 History Repeats – Part 2

    My job interview today went well. I’m pretty sure my reputation precedes me on this one and that probably cuts the conversation in half. The people I spoke with were the president of the company and the current product developer/owner/leader. Really cool people who seem to have great vision about the company and where things…

  • 2017-10-25 History Repeats

    It seems like I always have a song lyric in my head for what I’m thinking or feeling. Today it is DMB “So Much To Say”. The name of this one says it all. And just as I started typing this I thought, “This feels very familiar”. Indeed it is. Rewind to January 26th and…

  • 2017-10-23 I Did It!! 😃

    I’ve been writing for over 30 years. I’ve been meandering happily along the path of life and always choosing something else as my priority. Be that as it may, writing has always been my rock. It’s been my “way out”. It’s been one of the only things that I could truly rely on at every…

  • 2017-10-22 Too Much

    I’ve got words in my head that are in the Chorus of a popular Dave Matthews Band song, Too Much. I eat too much, I drink too much, I want too much, too much. I don’t know what that song is really about, probably fame, but I’m feeling the chorus. Feeling it pretty heavy in…

  • 2017-10-21 Have This Instead of That

    Yesterday was another very satisfying day. It was a nice balance of all the things I love to do. The only thing a little lacking in my week this week has been sleep. One would think that as much as I harp on sleep being so important, I would have found a way to stick…

  • 2017-10-20 Inspiration On the Path

    I’m walking on this path of life and declared my purpose to be the search for inspiration. Sometimes the road is long and boring and sometimes there are waves of wonderful things to see and touch and hear and taste. So much that I can’t possibly consume it all and not miss something. Yesterday was…
