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…

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…

2024-07-01 A Peek Behind the Curtain of Creation
No… not another origin story for some superhero or where life on planet Earth started. This is an “Account” of where my poems originate. “Account” is the name of one publication I’m interested in submitting work to. Their unique spin in the literary world is that they ask for (and publish) a separate document explaining…

2024-06-16 The “Everything Now” Update…
My mind is spinning with so many things. Spirals and waves of thought and emotion. How on earth does one focus enough to spill all this out on a page in an organized way? One doesn’t! 😂 But a girl can try. I had such a strange evening last night that tumbled into a sleep…

2024-06-12 Another Pub Update
Awww Lawdy! What’s this now?

Why on Earth with all this, would my brain turn to a…

2024-06-05 Closer to Fine
Today I’m Closer to Fine. Way back a hundred years ago on April 18th, I wrote about the big question of “What’s Next” in It’s Only Life After All. But when I began unpacking that question, it only led to more questions. I always wholeheartedly accept lists so these six questions didn’t really bother me.…

2024-05-14 A Question of Sustainability and Sanity
Today’s Q&A is all about The Good Life. My good life, the preservation of the preciousness of it, and a nod to all the time and effort that’s already been put in. I could be talking about my life or the literary journal I co-founded five years ago. The Good Life review. To say one…

2024-05-07 Cold Turkey Coming Right Up
Ok. Sometimes you just kinda gotta open up the shuffle to ALL the music in the music library. Maybe for you that’s the entirety of what Spotify, Amazon Music or Pandora have to offer. But just like opening Pandora’s box, you don’t know what will be released and the results can be wild and most…
