    2025-07-02 Welcome to July

    After my last post a friend of mine messaged me and said “good luck doing nothing.” Or something like that and it’s true… I set an intention for June to do less. I wanted to minimize the pressure I constantly feel to do more or counterbalance that feeling that I’m never doing enough. How frustrating…

    2024-06-12 Another Pub Update

    Awww Lawdy! What’s this now? I’ve got like a million-gazillion goings going on including moving my daughter back from Lincoln today, dealing with AC out at the house, an important TGLR meeting tomorrow, and this Noom nonsense I’ve committed to doing this week.  Why on Earth with all this, would my brain turn to a…

    2024-04-18 It’s only life after all…

    Today I’m “jumping into this day from yesterday’s sin.”  I didn’t promise part two of the post I wrote last last week about “Small Magic” because the Universe has a way of thwarting my plans. But Huzzah! Here I am fresh from reading what I wrote that day and back to continue the conversation.  And…

    2023-12-27 A Middle Place

    It’s two days after Christmas and I’m thinking about 2024. I’m also thinking about this past year. I’m in that middle place where I’d like to begin formulating my list of goals for 2024, but kinda still musing about how this past year went. I’d like to say I’m gonna kick ass in the new…

    2023-09-09 When Good Habits Go Bad

    I previously committed to (and wrote about) taking the entire month of September to “meditate” about what might be the next BIG thing for me personally.  But the truth is that I suck at meditation. Maybe I should have said I would think about it for a slow, undisclosed amount of time instead. Yeah. That’s…

    2023-04-11 There’s No Way Like the Just Say “No” Way…

    My current declaration is that I am backing off from making new commitments and revoking goals that have previously been set. I’m just saying “no.” I don’t have any more professional public appearances on the books and have completely let go of *most* of my monthly resolutions—No dietary modifications, writing objectives, reading quotas, exercise directives,…

    2023-04-03 The Great Poetry Debate of 2023…

    Oops.. I did it again.  What?  I wrote a post that I never posted. /shrug  Made a goal and then didn’t achieve it. /yup Developed a good, healthy new habit and then lost it. #truth (followed by gaining back the pounds I lost in January and February.. ugh!) So what’s the point anyway?  To eat…

    2023-03-23 Mid-March Woes

    I’m all out of shows I’ve got interest in watching and no desire to crack open a podcast or audio book so I guess to pass the time l’ll try and get some words out. I apologize in advance for any unorganized chaos or ranting. If it’s in my brain, it’s about to come out…. …
