    2022-03-04 Questions without Answers

    First things first.. in the exactly one week I’ll be doing my first (and possibly last) ever in-person public reading AND it’s crazy to have been invited by THE KATE GALE, founder and editor of the Los Angeles Review and Red Hen press. It’s the launch/tour for her latest book, The Loneliest Girl, and her…

    2022-02-26 The World Needs a Sabbatical

    Today I read a tweet that was about the fact that the world continues to crumble and burn yet, here in America at least, society at large continues to press on as normal.  Sure we all continue on as best we can, getting up each day and trudging through it until our head hits the…

    2022-02-04 Checking In and Checking Out… ✅

    We’re one month into 2022 and it’s a good day to check in on those goals and resolutions. 10 items on my list and 10 things to report on… Read a book a month. Unless you count the winter issue of Rattle, this was a total fail. ❌. I think my problem is not having…

    2022-01-17 Much Ado About a Monday Status Update… ✅✅❌

    We’re now over half way through the month of January so it’s about time I check myself before I wreck myself.  In other words.. how am I doing on the New Years resolution front?  To be fair I think I only officially declared my set of goals a little over a week ago so anything…

    2022-01-14 Giving My Brain a Creative Jump-Start ✍🏻

    I’m back at the Lied Lodge in Nebraska city today. I was invited by an MFA friend who is also struggling to get back into writing. The regular routine of life often doesn’t leave enough space for flexing that creative muscle. I know I was just here a couple of weeks ago but that was…

    2022-01-08 Where’s the Bullseye This Year? 🎯

    I’ve been thinking (and thinking and thinking and thinking) about goals, plans, resolutions, a new day, a new month, a new year. I’m getting closer to zeroing in on my target(s). 🎯🎯🎯 My good friend Rebecca always picks a word at the start of the year that will shape her year and help her focus…

    2022-01-07 Kind of a White Rabbit Start to 2022 🐇🐇🐇

    There’s something about the end of one year and the start of another that puts me in a tizzy if I don’t have time to reflect on the past and also spend time musing about resolutions and planning my goals for the coming year. In case you haven’t noticed, I’m very goal oriented. Checking things…

    2022-01-04 On Tuesday’s I Take Out the Trash

    I’d love to say I do it for alliteration’s sake because something deep in me is enchanted by the sounds of words that just fit together in my mouth in a pleasing and natural way. But I take out the trash on Tuesday because Wednesday is the day the Man comes to haul it away. …
