I’d love to say I do it for alliteration’s sake because something deep in me is enchanted by the sounds of words that just fit together in my mouth in a pleasing and natural way. But I take out the trash on Tuesday because Wednesday is the day the Man comes to haul it away. …

2021-12-22 It’s a Numbers Nerding Kind of Day
Yesterday I let myself become immersed in a total left-brain organizational task. It was very satisfying. I did some folder/file shuffling and a little accounting with a focus on the poems I’ve published to date. I’m in a numbers kind of mood. I guess that’s what I do when I fail to write. I’ve been…

2021-11-23 Pulling that Pin Out and Tossing it in the Trash 📌
Yesterday I suffered from a mini-existential crisis and wanted to write through it. I wanted to write long enough for my brain to start unlocking the doors to potential answers. Hey.. it’s worked before so why not? However life itself got in the way and I truly did not have enough time to get to…

2021-11-08 Just Another Lustless Monday…
Welcome to Monday. This morning while my husband was eating the breakfast I cooked him, he asked what my plans were for the day. Just a casual question that might start a conversation if I had some unexpected answer or something I was planning that I’d forgotten to mention previously. I don’t. It’s Monday so…
