2022-01-14 Giving My Brain a Creative Jump-Start ✍🏻
I’m back at the Lied Lodge in Nebraska city today. I was invited by an MFA friend who is also struggling to get back into writing. The regular routine of life often doesn’t leave enough space for flexing that creative muscle. I know I was just here a couple of weeks ago but that was…

2022-01-10 Another Year in the Rearview
And what a year it was! Am I right??!! Sometimes when I’m on vacation and I have extra time, I elect to write about how it’s going. If I have a lot of extra time, there are pictures. That’s lovely to revisit later, but who has that kind of time? I’m usually more about the…

2022-01-07 Kind of a White Rabbit Start to 2022 🐇🐇🐇
There’s something about the end of one year and the start of another that puts me in a tizzy if I don’t have time to reflect on the past and also spend time musing about resolutions and planning my goals for the coming year. In case you haven’t noticed, I’m very goal oriented. Checking things…

2021-06-05 Cliches About Time are Cliche Because of Their Truth
The push and pull of all these days blurs into a gravity that begs to be let go of. Time is relative. Emotions are relative. Thoughts are relative. The next thing can only be measured against the last and the moment in time that lingers longer than it should, repeating itself in the mind, becomes…

2021-04-12 The Clandestine Miss SugarCookie Surprisingly Secures Seven Hundred Followers… 💃💃💃
Sometime in the last few weeks, the number of followers for my WordPress blogs tip-toed over the threshold of 700. It only took like 4 years. 😜 (Technically 10.5 years since I started my first WordPress blog in 2010.) It’s actually pretty good for a random human simply musing day-in-and-day-out about the same 12 topics.…

2021-03-13 The Variable Speed of Time
Life. Funny the way it is. Short. Long. Boring. Overwhelming. Joyful and full of pain. The time we have is a gift and yet we often waste it in so many ways. Time is a major undercurrent in many of my poems and essays. It’s a theme that shows up subtly whether that’s what is…
