    2024-05-04 May the 4th Be With You

    And with you and you, and with us all, my friends.  It’s as good of a day as any to chase that new shiny. For those who have been following along for 14 years or the last 7 years or only the past month. I’ve been hunting answers to existential questions disguised as simple musings…

    2024-04-19 Always halfway there…

    Today’s Q&A is about pressure. As in… why I’m putting so much pressure on myself. And like most questions, it’s tightly wound with other questions, primary in this case is “Who cares?”  If I never write or publish another poem in my life… who cares?  If I don’t blog anymore… who cares?  If I quit…

    2024-04-18 It’s only life after all…

    Today I’m “jumping into this day from yesterday’s sin.”  I didn’t promise part two of the post I wrote last last week about “Small Magic” because the Universe has a way of thwarting my plans. But Huzzah! Here I am fresh from reading what I wrote that day and back to continue the conversation.  And…

    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…

    2024-02-11 I just thought you should know…

    As I drive in my car, north on I-29 from Kansas City to Omaha Nebraska, my home, I’m thinking about how I still have not yet wrapped my head around the fact that it is 2024. Yet, here we are, already it’s February, and already AWP 2024 is in the rearview.  It was my second…

    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…

    2023-12-27 A Middle Place

    It’s two days after Christmas and I’m thinking about 2024. I’m also thinking about this past year. I’m in that middle place where I’d like to begin formulating my list of goals for 2024, but kinda still musing about how this past year went. I’d like to say I’m gonna kick ass in the new…

    2023-11-08 Can She Do It? Three for Three?…

    I’m two for two writing new shit this week and bout to go three for three. Can’t believe it’s Wednesday. Can’t believe I don’t know the day of the week anymore. That I have no reason or need to know. It could be Saturday or Tuesday or Friday. Who cares? My daily chore calendar keeps…
