    2025-08-13 Hands to Heart Center

    It’s August. It’s the 13th day of the month, and the 13th day in a row I’ve woken with a headache or a migraine. And I’ve been so, so tired. Feeling tired all day is the result of struggling through these headaches, managing every moment like it’s the single cell of a spreadsheet that has…

    2024-12-17 Oh, Hello Again.

    December 17th. Happy Birthday Kel.  One of my oldest and dearest friends. We both rotated around the same circles in high school, tethered by the gravitational force of mutual friends and bonded by humor. I’m grateful for our many years of comradery and kinship.  December 17th is a day that always seems to want to…

    2024-08-30 Mercury Can Just Eff Off Already

    I had high hopes for August. Such high, high hopes. But sometimes a girl sets her expectations too high. Something in the Universe told me it would be a fantastic month so who was I to argue?!  About half way through I was still holding on to hope despite the “shit show” that had been…

    2024-07-01 A Peek Behind the Curtain of Creation

    No… not another origin story for some superhero or where life on planet Earth started. This is an “Account” of where my poems originate. “Account” is the name of one publication I’m interested in submitting work to. Their unique spin in the literary world is that they ask for (and publish) a separate document explaining…

    2024-05-20 Monday Morning Play-by-Play, Not to Worry, I’m Ok

    I spend the first two or three hours of my day on chores and good life stuff. By the time I’m done, I’m too tired to think about anything except how my sleep was shit and how the nightmare that woke me up just before 6:AM made me gasp for air. A doozie I psychoanalyze…

    2024-04-12 What it Means to be Seen and Heard…

    I need to tell someone. But I don’t have anyone to tell. A therapist might say this need comes from my childhood when I was mostly ignored by my parents. I was a child doing a thing a child thought was the right thing to do – be seen and not heard. Turns out, I…

    2023-10-07 Entering Stealth Poet Mode, but To What End?

    Hey guess what?! Turns out I’m anti-social. No kidding!!  Ok… so that’s not new news but I did a creativity workshop this morning and one of the bullet points staring at me from the barrel of that PowerPoint gun was this:❀ Opening ourselves to new experiences opens the door to creativity ❀ No kidding?!!  Yeah……

    “Holy buckets Batman, this must mean the end is near!” Batman straightens up a little, cracks a single knuckle, and slowly turns to face the exclamation, “Why’s that?” “Two! Count them… one… TWO blog posts within the same week!!”  Batman shrugs.  Batman has a long list of bad guys to bring to justice and hasn’t…
