    2021-05-17 Back in the Game… ✍🏻💕✍🏻✍🏻

    Last year I went on a submission spree, submitting my poetry to all levels and types of publishers, from the very brand new organizations to the big-name long shots—print, online, anthology, full manuscript, chapbook, daily, monthly, quarterly journals and reviews. I think I maxed out at 80-something open submissions sometime in November or December. Oh,…

    2021-05-11 All of This Is True.. Or Is It? 😉

    This morning I was listening to my “Gear Shifter” playlist—the one I curated with songs that are sure to pump me into a cardio machine mood. One of the songs that came up in the shuffle was Hoodie Allen’s “The Real Thing.”  The end of the song is a clip I have to believe is…

    2021-05-03 Thinking About What’s Got Me Down is Like Having Bronchitis

    It may not be the same for everyone, but the struggle is real. It’s a popular saying for a reason.  I’m constantly having internal conversations with myself that I can’t seem to quit having. There’s no resolution that I can see or feel and it puts my brain on spin cycle and it’s wearing me…

    2021-04-30 When they Ask What Superpower You Want, Don’t Be Too Hasty

    I daydream sometimes about what it would be like if I could control time. That’s not exactly right. It’s not a daydream of control. It’s not a daydream at all actually. It’s a longing for time to slow down enough for me to enjoy things at my own pace. My own pace is apparently slow..…

    2021-04-01 Hello April! 🌷

    Thank goodness that’s over! March… what an asshole!!  And thank the Universe that the month didn’t go out like a lion and that our furry friend, Punxsutawney Phil, is wrong more than he is right. It IS Nebraska and there’s still a chance that Mother Nature will show some wrath, but my intuition doubts it.…

    What’s that saying again?..  If you don’t have something nice to say, don’t say anything at all.  Yeah. That.  In my own head I’m bitchy and constantly venting about all irritations, big and small. It’s everything and everyone and I’m not sure what I have to do to get myself out of this mood. Make…

    2021-03-02 In Like a Lamb?!… 🐑🔜🦁

    March.. I think the saying is supposed to be “In like a lion and out like a lamb.”  *** According to the Farmers’ Almanac, the weather folklore stems from ancestral beliefs in balance, meaning if the weather at the start of the month was bad (like a roaring lion), the month should end with good…

    2021-02-20 Why I’m Doubling Down Today

    Yesterday, just as I was developing the inspiration to write about all the sexcapaids I’ve had in my life, life interjected and shut that down.  Here’s how the conversation went (paraphrasing of course)… Life:  “Here.. read this and get angry” (hands me an email). Me: 😬😬😬 (deep breath). “No! Not today life. I’m not letting…
