  • 2017-05-29 I’m so in Denver Right Now

    I occurred to me when I woke up this morning that it’s been a few days since I wrote anything. Well, in truth, it occurred to me yesterday when I was driving across Nebraska, but I was driving, so I could not really do anything about it at the time. Four days ago I quit…

  • 2017-05-26 I Did It!

    I finally quit my job. Yesterday was an interesting day. I had to talk myself, one last time, into pulling the trigger. If you are following along, you had a front row seat for that pep-talk in the morning before I went to work. It was a much easier thing to be excited about on…

  • 2017-05-25 No Day Like Today for a Change

    When I went to sleep last night, it was late and I was tired and I felt completely drained emotionally from the last few days. I’ve been up and down and around the block with these life questions and really felt I was at the end of what I could possibly take. Truth be told,…

  • 2017-05-23 Looking Ahead

    A week ago I was heading back from Austin and super pumped about the future, and today I just feel very blah. I decided to ask for sabbatical instead of just quitting and have heard nothing on that. I don’t know what I expected to hear and how soon, but waiting is not my cup…

    Last night Z and I were watching “Stranger Things” and at the end of one of the episode the camera pans up to the sky. It’s a sky full of stars. My heart sinks just a little. Looking up at the stars was one of those things I loved to do with Matt. Whether it…

  • 2017-05-20 No Risk, No Reward

    I have a wonderful friend from back in the day. I’m going to call her, Princess KK Now Princess KK is smart, successful, and also quite funny. She’s pretty and clever and lives somewhere not so sunny. We don’t chat very often, in-fact, almost never Because we are far apart and, of course, busy as…

  • 2017-05-18 The Ledge

    I’m standing on it. I’ve been inching closer and closer in the past few weeks and now I am peering down into the abyss. But I’m no longer scared. I think I’ve had trepidation and fear and somehow in the last week, I have gained the clarity I’ve needed to overcome those feelings and really…
