  • 2019-02-22 Why Poetry – The Side Dish Edition

    I sat across a table from two women who used to be friends of mine. Now they are like distant cousins you feel obligated to respond to if they reach out to you and say hi. One measure of what a person means to you in your life is how much you look forward to…

  • 2019-01-31 House for Sale

    Today I tried to get back to a more normal routine but it was not in the cards. I woke early worrying about the work I have piling up and could not get back to sleep. I eventually caved and went to my new office (at 6AM) and did about an hour’s worth before feeling…

  • 2019-01-17 Now it’s Really Real

    It’s not just real now people, things are getting really real! “Really real” is like real but with an epiphany exclamation point that might knock you back if you are not careful. It’s 8 days until my move and yesterday I brought a car load of personal stuff including my kitten and all the extra…

  • 2019-01-16 Mystery Solved – The 2 Year Blog Anniversary Post

    Two years ago I started this blog and one of my first posts was titled “2017-01-15 The Riddle of the Middle”. It was one brief paragraph that posed the question, “How do you start something new when it feels like you are starting in the middle?“ I’m confident now, two years later, answering that question.…

  • 2018-11-12 Conditioning for Change

    I’m not finding my chi today. I’m wasting 20 minutes at a time with indecision about what to do with my day. This is what happens when you mostly operate in JIT mode (just in time). No work truly needing to get done and nothing pressing for school. I didn’t have enough sleep and I’m…

  • 2018-10-19 Friday Scrambles (thoughts from a very white girl)

    Scrambled egg whites and scrambled thoughts for your Friday Feels… Have you ever had scrambled egg whites? It’s certainly healthier than regular scrambled eggs but somehow against nature and the laws of balance in the Universe. First of all, separating the egg yolk and tossing it away is such a waste. Would you ever buy…

  • 2018-09-01 Sorry, Can’t See the High Road from Here

    Go ahead a read this and tell me I need to be a bigger person. Try to tell me to put my big girl panties on and get over it. Convince me somehow that taking the high road would be better. You would not be wrong.. but damnit if I’ve had just about enough and…

  • 2018-08-25 Party Time

    So it has begun. I’ve almost completely let go of any obligation or responsibility in my life in order to allow myself to enjoy this momentous occasion. In my whole life I’ve never put so much significance on my birthday, but damnit, it’s about time. I feel the need to write a list coming on.…
