  • 2017-10-23 I Did It!! 😃

    I’ve been writing for over 30 years. I’ve been meandering happily along the path of life and always choosing something else as my priority. Be that as it may, writing has always been my rock. It’s been my “way out”. It’s been one of the only things that I could truly rely on at every…

  • 2017-10-21 Have This Instead of That

    Yesterday was another very satisfying day. It was a nice balance of all the things I love to do. The only thing a little lacking in my week this week has been sleep. One would think that as much as I harp on sleep being so important, I would have found a way to stick…

  • 2017-10-20 Inspiration On the Path

    I’m walking on this path of life and declared my purpose to be the search for inspiration. Sometimes the road is long and boring and sometimes there are waves of wonderful things to see and touch and hear and taste. So much that I can’t possibly consume it all and not miss something.

  • 2017-10-18 Following My Own Advice

    Today I went to the Omaha Startup Collective and while it’s great to attend events and meet new people, I don’t think I am “startup” material. I’m not an ideas person and it is very hard for me to get behind other peoples ideas because I already have a very full set list of things…

  • 2017-10-12 Strange Pathways

    Life is a series of strange paths that lead us to other strange paths. This morning, one meandering down one path led me to a place in my past which is still recent enough to leave me feeling raw about it but far enough away now I can look back and recognize how far I…

  • 2017-10-09 Another Look at a Familiar Book

    Over a year ago I was given a book called “Madness, Rack, and Honey”. It’s a collection of lectures from a famous poet who now teaches for an MFA program at Vermont College, Mary Ruefle’s. I started reading the book and then stopped. I then dumped the guy who gave it to me. In return,…

  • 2017-10-04 Oh the Tragedy of Reality 

    I woke up this morning feeling sadness. I’ve been riding on such a high the past week or so I guess it was bound to end eventually. I mean, emotions are situational and fleeting and the reality is that there’s not a whole lot of permanence in this life. Relationships are temporary. Events that we…

  • 2017-09-11 Sixteen Years Ago Today

    Sixteen years ago, about this time of the day I was sitting in a perpetually unbearable conference room in a temporary building being rented by the health system to accommodate an overflow of people needed to support a number of mission critical implementation projects. I was pregnant with Z and still in the first trimester.…
