2022-06-03 Fixing My Writing Woes with (yet another) Writing Commitment… ✍️

These last few weeks I’ve started writing about four different blog posts. And shortly after, quit and closed the document. Four paragraphs on school shootings and gun violence in America. Three paragraphs about the family gathering/grad party we had at our house last Saturday. Two paragraphs about spraining my foot and how that’s changed my…

2022-05-24 Stacation Sensation…

Last week I was on Stacation all week as most of the household was away on vacation. I’m not gonna lie.. it was glorious. The first half of the week was crazy-busy and after that took a few more days to wind down, but I did end up finding a good balance with work and…

2022-05-21 Sharing the Wheel with the Universe

Lately when I mount my elliptical machine I’ve also got my fingers poised to press play on my new, totally binge-worthy show, A million little things. However, most days are a struggle to get it to play. Blame the cloud, the internet speed, my outdated iPad, or the mesh wifi I paid a pretty penny…

2022-05-17 Just One Thing, But a Big One…

How can it possibly be Tuesday again already? The past week has flown by and I can’t help but hope that time can slow down a little this week because, as of yesterday, I’m officially on Staycation. Jim and his boys left for vacation yesterday and so it is just me and my two peeps…

2022-07-10 Terrible Tirade Tuesday…

A few days ago I posted about being overwhelmed with stuff going on. I feel literally paralyzed by not being able to process that list of stuff and the fact that so much is out of my control.. it’s making me furious. If I can move just one thing out of my mind, I know…

2022-05-08 A Million Little Things…

Lately I’ve been wasting time watching more shows than I normally do. When I say “normally” I mean that normally I don’t watch shows at all unless Jim and I are sitting down for a chill hour of TV in the evening. And when I say “lately” I suppose I mean for the past nine…

2022-04-26 Being the Boss of Me…

When I used to have a career, I always subscribed to this notion when approaching management with an issue: Don’t show up empty handed. Show up with potential solutions or at the very least something helpful or positive to counterbalance any bad news or problems. Now that I’ve dumped my career, I still think this…

2022-04-19 Two-fer Tuesday…

Recently I had the opportunity to spend a few days with Kate Gale. I wrote about this, of course, and you can read that here. Part of that experience was watching her reading in Lincoln and then participating in another reading and hearing her read the same poems in Omaha. She’s touring to promote her…
