2023-04-30 Cycles of Melancholy and Madness
For months I’ve been trying to puzzle out my problem (ok, ok, years or probably my whole damn life)… but for arguments sake let’s just call it months because that’s how long I’ve been experiencing a growing concern about how I feel on a daily basis. This nagging angst coupled with a deep desire to…

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,…

2023-03-08 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…

2023-02-13 Back with Purpose
It literally took me 8 days after returning home to get my act (and pictures) together enough to post yesterday about my latest adventure. Why? Because actual life waits for no one. I began writing that post while I was still in the euphoria of vacation freedom. I was feeling so free and happy and…

2023-01-29 Birdwatching in the Morning
Welcome to the pre month end catch-all January wrap-up. In today’s “episode” I’ll be talking about books and not-books, podcasts, TV shows, food, publishing, and the premature results of my January goals. Whoa.. really?! Yeah… maybe. How about goals, books, and not-books. Reading one book in January was one of my goals (after failing at…
