    2020-10-02 Jump Into this Day From Yesterday’s Sin…

    On October 21, 2010 (not a typo – ten years ago) I wrote my first post on my first blog: Day By Day. It’s proof, that no one can predict what the future holds. No one can know what they are capable of. No one realizes the capacity of their cup.. until they begin to…

    2020-10-01 The (Other) Letter From the Editor

    I’ve been tucked in a cubby hole of time for a few days. I’ve tried to finish strong with my last few days of work without letting my apathy show through the zooms and emails. I’ve tried to hide the fact that my heart is already elsewhere. Ask me how I feel today on this…

    2020-09-25 Tides Don’t Turn

    They’re relentless rolling towards the shore where waves crash like an unforgiving Kublai Kan. Or the resulting opiate inspired vision in dream. Just a fragment. A sliver of the largest moon that ever pulled the tide up with such reliable gravity. Such a tragedy that the only words to linger after the last line are…

    2020-09-23 Random Facts About Having 4 Cats (Among Other Things)

    Having four cats means you have to scoop litter boxes everyday. This morning I started crying in my kitchen. I was loading the dishwasher when Alexa started telling me about memorial plans for Ruth B.G. as a part of my daily news briefing. I had not really grieved the loss yet. It just happened. I…

    2020-09-21 What’s the Truth Behind All the Drama

    Last night I had a dream I could not shake. I mean.. I dreamt the dream and woke up multiple times and then fell back to sleep into the same scenario twice. I’ve got a big assignment due for school. Something that’s going to take months of work and I’ve shown up to the scene…

    2020-09-15 Monday Colored Glasses

    I could do without insomnia for a while. I could do without my mind spinning endlessly on things I can’t do anything about. I could use a day all by myself, no responsibilities, no work, no chores. What’s that called? A vacation? Perhaps soon. I could also do without rejection greeting me first thing in…

    2020-08-25 Reading Past Repetition to Get to the Good Stuff

    There’s no way I’m not going to not be tired today. That’s what less than four hours of sleep does to a person.  Impossibly, it was not because of performance anxiety over the two hour training session I’m supposed to conduct today with a group of folks I’ve never met before. Incredibly I could not…

    2020-07-04 Cheers to New Poetry and Spending Quality Time this 4th of July 🌟

    I’m leading with the poem I wrote yesterday instead of including it as an afterthought at the end. The tag line? “Look Ma, it’s a Love Poem!!” Driving Toward Sunset on July 2nd Yesterday was a pretty good day. I had two good virtual catch up sessions with friends, I attended a poetry workshop where…
