2021-05-06 When You Find What Works, Don’t Fight It 🌳
Thirsty Thursday again and date night tonight. A 1-2 combo that aims to satisfy. As it often is, I think I’ve figured some things out this week and feel pretty good about my newest declarations. No more volunteering to do interviews or lead workshops or make any public appearances where I have to speak. I’m…

2021-05-05 Much Ado About the Fate of the Human Race
Being human is weird. Two days ago I felt hopeless, helpless, and pretty pathetic and this morning I woke up looking forward to the day. Two nights ago I told my husband I think I need a counselor or therapist. He told me I don’t. He said that he and I need to communicate more…

2021-05-04 The Smithsonian Called. They Want My Phone… ☎️🤣
May the fourth be with you and with me too. ✌️💜🥝 Dear Diary.. I’m doing ok today. I know you wanted to know that. Dear Diary.. Yesterday was garbage but it’s in the past now so there’s no use lamenting further. So don’t ask. Dear Diary.. Don’t you think we all need to be reminded…

2021-04-24 Arizona Adventure Day 6: The Journey Home 🌵🌸
Day 6. Saturday. The journey home. But first, flowers! One might recall 6 days ago when I arrived in Phoenix that had time to kill before getting on the road, that I tried to go to the Botanical Gardens, that it was “sold out”, and that I promised myself we would make time for it…

2021-04-23 Arizona Adventure Day 5: Flagstaff Friday Funday
Day 5. Friday. Much ado about nothing. Much of our vacation to this point had been go-go-go. Lots of activity—tours, hiking, navigating, driving, stopping, starting, and exploring. We had nothing planned for Friday and when we got to Friday, there wasn’t anything in particular we wanted to do. We talked about going to the Grand…

2021-04-22 Arizona Adventure Day 4: Doing Sedona Take 2
Day 4. Thursday. Thirsty Thursday. Thursday is what happens when something doesn’t go according to plan. Sometimes, it’s all wrong, but sometimes it turns out alright. My big plan for the day was a hot air balloon ride over Sedona. It was one of the things that Jim and I talked about after the big…
