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…

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…

One might ask, am I doing with the extra time I have each day while hiding out from the world, free of most of my typical obligations? The truth is that not much has changed. It turns out I spend a fair bit of time every single day maintaining this Castle of a house and…

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……
