    2020-10-03 Thanks for the Reminder

    It’s been a wild week. Lots of drama with the end of my time as an employee (at long last) and finally getting to pull the trigger on the first issue of The Good Life Review. It took till about 6PM yesterday before I entered into that corpse pose phase I’ve been talking about for…

    2020-10-02 Jump Into this Day From Yesterday’s Sin…

    On October 21, 2010 (not a typo – ten years ago) I wrote my first post on my first blog: Day By Day. It’s proof, that no one can predict what the future holds. No one can know what they are capable of. No one realizes the capacity of their cup.. until they begin to…

    2020-10-01 The (Other) Letter From the Editor

    I’ve been tucked in a cubby hole of time for a few days. I’ve tried to finish strong with my last few days of work without letting my apathy show through the zooms and emails. I’ve tried to hide the fact that my heart is already elsewhere. Ask me how I feel today on this…

    2020-09-25 Tides Don’t Turn

    They’re relentless rolling towards the shore where waves crash like an unforgiving Kublai Kan. Or the resulting opiate inspired vision in dream. Just a fragment. A sliver of the largest moon that ever pulled the tide up with such reliable gravity. Such a tragedy that the only words to linger after the last line are…

    … Eat Tacos!!! 🌮🌮🌮 It’s Saturday and I’ve done a few things but I’ve also kinda wasted the day away. The sun is already in its daily slide down the west side of the big Nebraska blue and I’m just not satisfied. I just need a little more time. I just always want more. I’ve…

    2020-08-25 Reading Past Repetition to Get to the Good Stuff

    There’s no way I’m not going to not be tired today. That’s what less than four hours of sleep does to a person.  Impossibly, it was not because of performance anxiety over the two hour training session I’m supposed to conduct today with a group of folks I’ve never met before. Incredibly I could not…

    2020-08-23 The Saturday AM Update

    I woke up at about 6:30AM and for the first time in a while, I’m looking forward to the day. Something about a long string of days that involve stuff you’re not looking forward to that really messes with a persons groove. I’ve obviously been in a funk. I’ve obviously been a broken record, stuck…

    2020-08-16 No Good Way to End – Part 2

    What’s a girl to do I ask. It occurs to me that I love to start new things. I get jazzed about beginning. Give me a new day, tip-toes on the edge of the next big adventure. Anticipation is a delicious appetizer and don’t you sometimes just want to order every appetizer on the menu…
