    2021-11-08 Just Another Lustless Monday…

    Welcome to Monday. This morning while my husband was eating the breakfast I cooked him, he asked what my plans were for the day. Just a casual question that might start a conversation if I had some unexpected answer or something I was planning that I’d forgotten to mention previously. I don’t. It’s Monday so…

    2021-11-06 It has been a while… but why?

    It has been a while since I held to my daily writing routine and I could say it was because I haven’t needed it but the truth is that I’m just using my time in other ways.  What’s new? Plenty. What is blog worthy? Not sure.  I’ve got a new elliptical machine and it’s smooth…

    2021-10-14 Being Busy has its Advantages

    What’s on my mind today? My children flying to Washington by themselves (with each other) and the whole thing is outside my control. Yes, they will be with their dad for the duration of their trip, but he and his significant other flew yesterday.  Despite my daughter sometimes being needy, she’s definitely independent and very…

    2021-10-12 Stopping to Smell the Hibiscus 🌺

    I often spend too much time worrying about not being productive enough. Always pushing myself into the next thing, and the next and next. Never stopping to savor the success of what I did yesterday or last week or last year.  In 2020 I received my MFA in Writing from the University of Nebraska and…

    2021-10-09 Where to Begin… ✍🏻

    I forget what day it is. I wonder why I’m still here. I fail to find what I’m looking for.  Some days I get upset thinking about how many years I wasted working for the man, living that picket fence life, and not wanting anything more than I had.  Other days I second guess that…

    2021-10-02 A Fresh Start for Fall 🍁

    A new month has been born and with it we enjoy the most ironic season of all; when juxtaposition reigns supreme.  The weather gets cooler yet we become cozy and warm as we gather around fires, sip hot drinks, and swap our summer wardrobes with sweaters, boots, and hats. It’s the season where the nights…

    2021-09-29 An Epic Rant from a Terrible Daughter…

    You know that saying?.. How does it go?..  “If you don’t have something nice to say, don’t say anything at all.”  It’s something like that.  Well… fuck that saying. There is absolutely nothing good I have to say about this situation with my mother but I’m done being the good daughter. At least here in…

    2021-09-27 Today is the Intersection Where the Past Meets the Future 🔥

    The end of the month is quickly approaching and what have I to show for my time? Plenty.  Book materials to my publisher for my first book. ✅ Bike for my daughter for campus. ✅ Mom’s big surgery and getting on the road to recovery. ✅ Three new editors secured for the GLR. ✅✅✅ Proposals…
