2025-04-27 Asked and Answered: Insights from I Ching Hexagram 64
This week I’ve failed to finish (or even start) most items on my to-do list. I had a convo with my work wife, M, about this and we’re both suffering the same paralysis trying to get out of the gate. My mind is spinning and unable to stop long enough to focus on a task,…

2025-03-24 Tides of March ☘️ Part 2
If you’re here for the sequel to the migraine saga, this is not the post you are looking for. /waves hand to punctuate Jedi mind powers… One has to reach the conclusion before they are able to write the conclusion and though I feel I’m almost out of the woods (*hopefully*) I don’t want to…

2025-12-29 The Ultimate Chutes and Ladders
A few days ago I started a new entry, the all-encompassing year-end wrap-up. Cuz that’s my way. Or should I say, that’s usually my way. I’ve historically found it pretty satisfying to write about some topic, start to finish, where I can tie everything together with a beautiful bow and present it like a true…

2024-12-28 Oh Those MFA Feels…
I’m headed back to Nebraska City today. The home of UNOs MFA residency experience, the birthplace of my poetry career. Can a person craft a career out of poetry? No. That’s laughable. But it’s the cool aid they serve and I drank it in giant gulps. I exaggerate, of course, because that’s my way. A…

2024-12-10 My current “would you rather” situation…
I’m so tired. My sleep has been shit lately but I my creative spark has been lit and that’s probably the reason. What a trade off, huh?! I mean, after all the blah blah woof woof about “What Next” and existential dread this year – the woe is me and “whatever will I do since…

2024-12-06 But you still don’t like to leave before the end of the show…
A lyric from a sad song about how tough life is and how terrible people can be. But we’re gonna stick around anyhow to witness how it all turns out. Right?! What else can we do, anyway. The alternative is pretty bleak and I wouldn’t wish those thoughts on my worst enemy. How about the…

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…
