    2021-05-07 On This Day in History… 🤱

    Seventeen years ago, at this very moment, I was gettin busy pushing a baby out my vagina. That’s pretty freaking amazing right? That I can grow a human being inside my body and then birth it into the world in a matter of hours.  More amazing than that is the mystical act of parenting. That…

    2021-05-06 When You Find What Works, Don’t Fight It 🌳

    Thirsty Thursday again and date night tonight. A 1-2 combo that aims to satisfy.  As it often is, I think I’ve figured some things out this week and feel pretty good about my newest declarations.  No more volunteering to do interviews or lead workshops or make any public appearances where I have to speak. I’m…

    2021-05-05 Much Ado About the Fate of the Human Race

    Being human is weird. Two days ago I felt hopeless, helpless, and pretty pathetic and this morning I woke up looking forward to the day. Two nights ago I told my husband I think I need a counselor or therapist. He told me I don’t. He said that he and I need to communicate more…

    May the fourth be with you and with me too. ✌️💜🥝 Dear Diary.. I’m doing ok today. I know you wanted to know that.  Dear Diary.. Yesterday was garbage but it’s in the past now so there’s no use lamenting further. So don’t ask.  Dear Diary.. Don’t you think we all need to be reminded…

    2021-05-03 Thinking About What’s Got Me Down is Like Having Bronchitis

    It may not be the same for everyone, but the struggle is real. It’s a popular saying for a reason.  I’m constantly having internal conversations with myself that I can’t seem to quit having. There’s no resolution that I can see or feel and it puts my brain on spin cycle and it’s wearing me…

    2021-05-02 Forget that Noise

    I agreed several months ago to lead a poetry workshop and only the Universe knows why a person with moderate social and even worse performance anxiety would say yes to that. In my head I think I reasoned it would be a good promo opportunity for the lit mag, and for me personally. Then as…

    2021-04-30 When they Ask What Superpower You Want, Don’t Be Too Hasty

    I daydream sometimes about what it would be like if I could control time. That’s not exactly right. It’s not a daydream of control. It’s not a daydream at all actually. It’s a longing for time to slow down enough for me to enjoy things at my own pace. My own pace is apparently slow..…

    2021-04-24 Arizona Adventure Day 6: The Journey Home 🌵🌸

    Day 6. Saturday. The journey home. But first, flowers!  One might recall 6 days ago when I arrived in Phoenix that had time to kill before getting on the road, that I tried to go to the Botanical Gardens, that it was “sold out”, and that I promised myself we would make time for it…
