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…

2024-07-03 Welcome to July!

Hi friends. Guess what? It’s July!! Holy Laughing Cows Cheese Batman, how did half a year go by already? I dunno. Guess we blinked and that’s just what happens. If you read my musing on a regular basis (Thank you! You’re amazing! I love you forever!!), you know I’ve spent a great deal of this…
2024-07-01 A Peek Behind the Curtain of Creation

No… not another origin story for some superhero or where life on planet Earth started. This is an “Account” of where my poems originate. “Account” is the name of one publication I’m interested in submitting work to. Their unique spin in the literary world is that they ask for (and publish) a separate document explaining…
2024-06-17 T-Minus Three Days…

Three days. Just 3!! THREE DAYS till my daughter leaves for an internship in India and I’m absolutely freaking out. I feel confident she’s in good hands and good company but that in no way alleviates my worry and anxiety. I’ve known this has been coming for months, but denial has been on my side,…
2024-06-16 The “Everything Now” Update…

My mind is spinning with so many things. Spirals and waves of thought and emotion. How on earth does one focus enough to spill all this out on a page in an organized way? One doesn’t! 😂 But a girl can try. I had such a strange evening last night that tumbled into a sleep…
2024-06-12 Another Pub Update

Awww Lawdy! What’s this now? I’ve got like a million-gazillion goings going on including moving my daughter back from Lincoln today, dealing with AC out at the house, an important TGLR meeting tomorrow, and this Noom nonsense I’ve committed to doing this week. Why on Earth with all this, would my brain turn to a…
2024-06-10 Jumping Into a New Adventure…

New Adventure = Noom Adventure 😂 I’ve known about Noom for several years and have an acquaintance who found great success with using the program so I know it can work. In case you haven’t heard of it, it’s an app/program designed to help people develop better eating behaviors and lose weight. It promises to be…
2024-06-05 Closer to Fine

Today I’m Closer to Fine. Way back a hundred years ago on April 18th, I wrote about the big question of “What’s Next” in It’s Only Life After All. But when I began unpacking that question, it only led to more questions. I always wholeheartedly accept lists so these six questions didn’t really bother me.…
2024-06-02 The Results are In!…

And what a cliffhanger it has been!… Waiting for such an epic and important verdict. No… I’m not referring to our former president and the results of his first criminal trial. That was pretty amusing, though, and wrought with tension and suspense too. Nope. I’m actually talking about the results of my pregnancy test. You…
2024-05-20 Monday Morning Play-by-Play, Not to Worry, I’m Ok

I spend the first two or three hours of my day on chores and good life stuff. By the time I’m done, I’m too tired to think about anything except how my sleep was shit and how the nightmare that woke me up just before 6:AM made me gasp for air. A doozie I psychoanalyze…
2024-05-14 A Question of Sustainability and Sanity

Today’s Q&A is all about The Good Life. My good life, the preservation of the preciousness of it, and a nod to all the time and effort that’s already been put in. I could be talking about my life or the literary journal I co-founded five years ago. The Good Life review. To say one…
2024-05-12 Let’s Waste Time…

If I had a therapist she might say I shouldn’t pose an existential question with five minutes left in our session. Yeah. Probably not. But since I have endless time and space here, with my alternative therapeutic method, I can continue to contemplate questions like “what next?” and “what’s my purpose.. here, on Earth?” as…
2024-05-07 Cold Turkey Coming Right Up

Ok. Sometimes you just kinda gotta open up the shuffle to ALL the music in the music library. Maybe for you that’s the entirety of what Spotify, Amazon Music or Pandora have to offer. But just like opening Pandora’s box, you don’t know what will be released and the results can be wild and most…
