2024-08-08 808 Like a Drum..
An oldie that never gets old. Maybe someday someone will say that about me. 😂 This past couple weeks reading fiction for The Good Life Review in between trips to different hospitals, medical centers, and council bluffs has me thinking of all these one or two line vignettes that feel like silk in my head. Mostly…

2024-05-14 A Question of Sustainability and Sanity
Today’s Q&A is all about The Good Life. My good life, the preservation of the preciousness of it, and a nod to all the time and effort that’s already been put in. I could be talking about my life or the literary journal I co-founded five years ago. The Good Life review. To say one…

2023-10-31 No Tricks. Only Treats…
Last day of the month. And it’s Halloween which used to be a fun time when the kids were little but these days I’m all like, yawn… whatever. The outside of our house is thoroughly decorated no thanks to yours truly. And we’re ready with those full size candy bars, but again, I prolly won’t…

2023-02-16 But what does “real life” look like?…
It’s the middle of the month. I’m still lamenting being home from our big vacation and trying to keep things well balanced.

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…

2021-04-11 Exhale and Release
Yesterday was a doozie. Hold up. This whole week has been kind of off the rails. I’m trying. I really am. And I’m truly doing the best I can. Yesterday the stress of the lit mag going live (and frankly being over a week behind the original release schedule) got to me and by the…

2020-10-01 The (Other) Letter From the Editor
I’ve been tucked in a cubby hole of time for a few days. I’ve tried to finish strong with my last few days of work without letting my apathy show through the zooms and emails. I’ve tried to hide the fact that my heart is already elsewhere. Ask me how I feel today on this…
