    2019-09-10 OR..91019!💃💃💃

    What’s with the dancing you ask? Well.. my dear friend Michelle pointed out to me yesterday that we are rolling into a glorious 10 day stretch of dates that are PALINDROMES! Let me tell you that when she texted me that yesterday it made me grin from ear to ear, not only because I’m a…

    2019-09-10 Turn and Return To Center

    It’s taco Tuesday again y’all. Let’s just be honest though, everyday is taco day. It’s just the way of things.. you know? So here’s where my brain is at today, cuz that’s as good a place to start as any. Things have definitely leveled out since the major spin-out I had last week. This time…

    2019-08-31 Autumn Declarations 🍂🍅🌼 and Life Proclamations

    I woke at 7:22am after sleeping for a solid 8 hours and 55 minutes. That’s the most I’ve slept in months, my average hovering at about 6.5. I feel great. Not just good, but great. Well, well now. Despite a few bumps, August was a success. I’m exactly where I’m supposed to be, tip-toes, tipping…

  • 2019-08-22 Word of the Day Weirdness

    About a month ago Jim started forwarding me these random “word of the day” emails. It’s just some website spreading daily content to a list of subscribers. I like words, and was like “way cool”. The email and site, if you click on it, has the word with the definition, pronunciation, origins, example usage, and…

    2019-08-13 “Everything Now”

    At residency Jackson introduced me to a band. It’s not a new band, they’ve been around, but they are new to me. That’s how my life goes. That’s how everyone’s life goes, you know. You don’t know something until you know it. That’s why we need people. Other people. To know things and show us…

    2019-08-07 The One About Fluff and Stuff

    No.. those are not the names of my kitten cats, but they could be since they are so super soft. I didn’t get to walk this morning, or this afternoon like I had planned. The whole day has been drained away by other duties as assigned. I had a solid 4 and a half hours…

    2019-07-21 MFA Res Days 8 and 9 – Tough Choices

    The last two days I’ve felt less anxiety and less pressure, mostly, yet still inspired by so many shiny objects. On the downhill slide, the back of the back 9, the preparing for a return to reality from the dream, I find that the most difficult task is the necessity to chose between things, people,…

    2019-07-15 MFA Res Day 2 – Life is Wonderful

    The day yesterday was certainly less action packed than the first and there were several sessions when I had the opportunity to sit, listen, and think without the expectation for something in return. There were also several noteworthy highlights that made the day so, so wonderful. In chronological order, the workshop where my writing was…
