2023-06-05 No Drama Here…
It’s been a hot minute since I’ve written anything blog worthy, and this might be no exception but I’m doing it anyway. Actually I wrote a few sentences over the past week but it came from a place of emotional unrest and frustration. Not to worry friends, the storm clouds have abated and the burden…

2023-05-18 Organize to Prioritize
I started this post just now because I have a lot of thoughts. Lots of disorganized-all-over-the-map thoughts. Maybe I’m hoping getting it all down will help to sort through it and pick out my priorities. I move my daughter home from UNL yesterday and she’s officially a senior in college. Super hard to believe, but…

2023-05-15 The Mystery of Finding Treasure
We’re halfway through the month of May and for some measure of money and faith, I can offer an update that I’m still on the right track. Saying “no” agrees with me and I’m getting better at it.

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,…

2023-04-05 Passover or Whatever
Passover, flyover, rollover. Over and over, until you die from it. Forget it. Good gravy! ❌ Content warning… E.T. is mentioned seven times in this post. Eight if you count this warning. I did a thing yesterday and didn’t die from it and my reward was to wake up and spend another day marveling at the mysteries of…
