2023-09-10 Sedona Arizona Day 0: Flying Solo

Day Zero. The travel day. The day I don’t actually reach my destination because I needed a day to myself before meeting up with my Texas Bestie and making our way to our home away from home for the week. For one thing, I’m a serious introvert who almost never gets to be alone so…

2023-08-07 Breaking up may be hard to do but…

Putting it all back together takes forever!! Every time I think I’ve turned the corner and am feeling back to myself again I’m reminded pretty quickly that I’m no spring chicken, and no longer recover from anything as quickly as I used to.

Last week I did something I haven’t done in years. I wrote something that I decided from the start would never see the light of any day. Just me, my thoughts, and my fingers tippity-typing on the keyboard to get it all out. From one angle it was an experiment to see if I still…

I’ve started this post a few times now… first in the airport eight days ago and then again a few days later from the gym at the resort I was staying at. A beautiful place that lends itself more to passing hours relaxing and forgetting about the ins and outs of the day than it…

2022-11-01 Latest and Greatest Austin Adventure Wrap-Up

It’s 10:34 on a Monday night… but not any Monday night. It’s Halloween Night and just also happens to be my last night in Austin. I’ve been here longer than I usually stay. Normally, I would leave on Sunday or Monday at the latest, but I wanted to ride out the holiday down here and…

2022-10-28 One Day By Day

On October 21st, 2010.. twelve years ago I wrote my first post on my first blog. No surprise, it was a poem. It was titled Day By Day and it was about the act of starting each day by reflecting on the day before, and then “jumping in” again from there. It was a giant…
