    2021-06-27 Super Solo Sunday Status

    Today I’m getting a half day all to myself. My man has gone “picking” with his bro at a farm in Seward Nebraska. I hadn’t heard of picking until he Introduced me to the concept and cited the show American pickers as an example. Jim is big into finding “treasure” at antique stores and estate…

    2021-06-26 After the Storm there is Calm

    I’ve once again navigated the sea of emotions my monthly cycle often laps over me in waves. Gritting my teeth through the frustration of the daily grind, the longing for peace and stillness, and anger when little pricks press into my skin like poorly executed acupuncture.  My mantra? “Wait a few days and see what…

    2021-06-12 The Security Camera Saga: A Prequel 🎥

    A prequel? Hmmmm… This is new.  The briefest definition of “prequel” that I have found is a story or movie containing events that precede those of an existing work. And for sure I began writing this blog post several days ago with the intent to get into the weeds of the analysis I was doing…

    2021-05-17 Back in the Game… ✍🏻💕✍🏻✍🏻

    Last year I went on a submission spree, submitting my poetry to all levels and types of publishers, from the very brand new organizations to the big-name long shots—print, online, anthology, full manuscript, chapbook, daily, monthly, quarterly journals and reviews. I think I maxed out at 80-something open submissions sometime in November or December. Oh,…

    2021-04-11 Exhale and Release

    Yesterday was a doozie. Hold up. This whole week has been kind of off the rails. I’m trying. I really am. And I’m truly doing the best I can.  Yesterday the stress of the lit mag going live (and frankly being over a week behind the original release schedule) got to me and by the…

    2021-04-01 Hello April! 🌷

    Thank goodness that’s over! March… what an asshole!!  And thank the Universe that the month didn’t go out like a lion and that our furry friend, Punxsutawney Phil, is wrong more than he is right. It IS Nebraska and there’s still a chance that Mother Nature will show some wrath, but my intuition doubts it.…

    2021-02-09 Random Tuesday Musings

    Most of the mischief I had planned for yesterday was managed. Wonder of wonders, what needs doing gets done.  Right now it’s 5:28AM and I’m walking on my treadmill and thinking about the day ahead.  I also just applied a clear topcoat to my fingernails to protect the polish I brushed on last night. If…

    2021-02-06 What’s Got My Brain in a Bunch on a Saturday?

    Spoiler alert. This post is a rant about social media. These are my opinions and I’m entitled to them. And I reserve the right to be flawed and change my mind. I’m only human and this could all just be coming from that special place in my brain that I get access to when I’m…
