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…

    2023-04-03 The Great Poetry Debate of 2023…

    Oops.. I did it again.  What?  I wrote a post that I never posted. /shrug  Made a goal and then didn’t achieve it. /yup Developed a good, healthy new habit and then lost it. #truth (followed by gaining back the pounds I lost in January and February.. ugh!) So what’s the point anyway?  To eat…

    2023-03-23 Mid-March Woes

    I’m all out of shows I’ve got interest in watching and no desire to crack open a podcast or audio book so I guess to pass the time l’ll try and get some words out. I apologize in advance for any unorganized chaos or ranting. If it’s in my brain, it’s about to come out…. …

    2023-03-19 Where were they going without ever knowing the way?

    Today’s post is brought to you by the song “The Way” by the band Fastball, which I’ve committed to listening to on repeat until I’m good and satisfied with where my mind is going… As a child I frequently daydreamed about running away from where I was and being somewhere else–anywhere else. Often that “somewhere…

    2023-03-17 But What Is Happiness…

    Two days ago I forgot it was the Ides and today I forgot it’s Saint Patrick’s Day (until about 20 minutes ago). I Guess that’s just what happens when I crawl deeper back into the cave of my own little life and shut out the rest of the world. I would say this cave /…

    2023-03-15 Averting My Eyes on the Ides

    What a strange day. I remembered the Ides were coming up a few days ago and then forgot again. Then all day today I had this strange feeling something was off. Might have been that 4AM wake up. Might have been the feeling of being too tired coupled with an unusually productive morning. Might be…

    2023-03-08 My Mind is Made Up…

    Last week I did something I haven’t done in years. I wrote something that I decided from the start would never see the light of any day. Just me, my thoughts, and my fingers tippity-typing on the keyboard to get it all out. From one angle it was an experiment to see if I still…

    2023-02-27 Goals? We Don’t Need No Stinking Goals…

    Hello friends. Welcome to the end… of February. 😜 About a month ago I posted a beefy January wrap-up that talked about everything under the sun–writing, books, shows, diet, exercise, publishing, podcasts, and, of course, goals! Revisiting that is a good place to start because when a whole month goes by in a blink (and…

    2023-02-16 But what does “real life” look like?…

    It’s the middle of the month. I’m still lamenting being home from our big vacation and trying to keep things well balanced. There’s a let down, you know, when something wonderful is over and the best way to combat that is planning the next vacation. 😂 I’m thinking of several actually and daydreaming is nice. …
