    2025-08-13 Hands to Heart Center

    It’s August. It’s the 13th day of the month, and the 13th day in a row I’ve woken with a headache or a migraine. And I’ve been so, so tired. Feeling tired all day is the result of struggling through these headaches, managing every moment like it’s the single cell of a spreadsheet that has…

    2025-03-17 Tides of March ☘️ Part 1

    A few days ago it was the Ides of March and I didn’t even remember or notice. How could I when the whole week had gone horribly wrong. It was a real roller coaster of migraine and neck pain and emotional turmoil. I’d barely crawled out of one hole just to find I was in…

    2024-12-10 My current “would you rather” situation…

    I’m so tired. My sleep has been shit lately but I my creative spark has been lit and that’s probably the reason. What a trade off, huh?! I mean, after all the blah blah woof woof about “What Next” and existential dread this year – the woe is me and “whatever will I do since…

    An oldie that never gets old. Maybe someday someone will say that about me. 😂 This past couple weeks reading fiction for The Good Life Review in between trips to different hospitals, medical centers, and council bluffs has me thinking of all these one or two line vignettes that feel like silk in my head.  Mostly…

    2024-08-01 The Power of Choice

    If there’s one thing I’ve learned in life it is that I am the ONLY person responsible for my happiness. For support in all the other colors of the rainbow, I will gladly lean on those around me who I can trust in times of need, but for that pesky fleeting golden ticket known as…

    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…

    2024-05-20 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…
