    2020-04-14 A Few Words Can Make All the Difference

    It’s amazing how one conversation can make all the difference. The impact a few words can have in changing your mood, your perspective, and your direction is incredible. Yesterday did not go as planned (surprise, surprise), yet one conversation I had with a friend of mine, Miss Michelle, was all it took for me to…

  • 2020-03-31 Crisis, Evolution, Kaczynski, and Poetry.. Oh My!

    If you’re into drama and the sob-story of a broken cookie, I’m all about that today. If you’re here for the poetry, skip to the end… Yesterday I was hoping to send my thesis preface and manuscript revisions off early in the day. You know, release myself from the hold it had on me. But…

    It’s Sunday again and I really need to get some steps to boost my stats and get my heart going. Plus, I’ve got a lot to say today so this could get long. Imma start with school. Yesterday I had a two hour phone conversation with my assigned mentor for the semester and though it…

    2020-02-29 Cheers to Leap-Day and the Double-Dot ..

    Today feels like a bonus day. Yesterday I wrote about some goals I have. Those are more general in nature and anyone who knows me knows that I also like to have little weekly and mid-tier monthly goals too. I have a white board that lives behind the door of my office that has a…

    2019-12-29 MFA Res Day 1 – Unpredictable

    It’s not quite 6am and I’m on the treadmill. I went to bed at a decent time but my Fitbit is still reporting less than 6 hours with poor quality for sleep. I dunno.. I think that’s unavoidable. Still I feel pretty good and ready to get after this day. Yesterday, which I thought was…

    2019-12-12 Channeling the Chocolate Chip

    This post must be dedicated to Michelle without whom I would not be inspired to try and be a Chocolate Chip cookie – today or ever! 😉 (Thanks for being a great accountability partner and an awesome human). I love a good chocolate chippy as much as the next girl, but for some reason the…

    2019-12-11 An Infestation of Peanut Butter Christmas Mice

    Why? Because Baby it’s cold out there and the mice have scrambled around looking for nooks to squeeze into the house, under the foundation, cracks between brick and wood and drywall and now!?.. Now they are in the walls and scurrying above our heads in the rafters and finding places to huddle together and nest…
