    2025-01-09 Ain’t Nobody Got Time For That

    Bronchitis. It’s a bummer.  I’ve been feeling unwell off and on for about a month. Each time I feel like I’m starting to feel better, I take another turn and get worse again. Yeah… really rotten.  I’m still feeling pretty positive about life in general, but man, it would be even better if I could…

    2024-08-30 Mercury Can Just Eff Off Already

    I had high hopes for August. Such high, high hopes. But sometimes a girl sets her expectations too high. Something in the Universe told me it would be a fantastic month so who was I to argue?!  About half way through I was still holding on to hope despite the “shit show” that had been…

    2024-08-08 808 Like a Drum..

    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…

    2024-07-19 Look How Far We’Ve Come…

    I’ve got a lot of updates to share but that’s not what’s really on my mind. You know, the things that are going Ok like my daughter being 8000 miles away and my son enjoying life, save for maybe those shifts flipping burgers, or even my own stuff. It’s all going good and I’ve cycled…

    2024-06-17 T-Minus Three Days…

    Three days. Just 3!! THREE DAYS till my daughter leaves for an internship in India and I’m absolutely freaking out. I feel confident she’s in good hands and good company but that in no way alleviates my worry and anxiety.  I’ve known this has been coming for months, but denial has been on my side,…

    2024-04-12 What it Means to be Seen and Heard…

    I need to tell someone. But I don’t have anyone to tell. A therapist might say this need comes from my childhood when I was mostly ignored by my parents. I was a child doing a thing a child thought was the right thing to do – be seen and not heard. Turns out, I…

    2024-01-01 Welcome to 2024! 🥳

    We made it! Welcome to 2024 friends. It’s officially New Year’s Revolutions month.  Not a typo. Resolutions are for sissies. Revolutions are way more impactful and spinning around, circling the focal point, and closing the loop on all the uprisings is super satisfying!  All the puns intended. 😜 Today is the first day of a…
