2020-11-01 All Hallows Day

The skies are clear. It’s a brisk 36 degrees out. And here in Nebraska, we’ve just fallen back. We’ve forgotten the reasons why and whether or not we are now saving daylight is a question we let google answer. We can’t be bothered with these details. Our phones take care of the time for us…

2020-10-31 Seven Shrug Saturday 🤷‍♀️

When waking up with headaches are the rule and not the exception, it’s hard to know if the 6AM Saturday throb is a hangover or not. 🤔 It’s probably a hangover. The older I get the less I can drink without feeling like shit. 🤷‍♀️ I remember my mom telling me some years ago that…

Being gung-ho one day is no problem. Having big plans and Ideas and goals is easy to do for a day or two but sticking with a plan, day in and day out, is not as easy. This is why taking on bite-sized improvements is important. I can count on my 10 fingers the things…

2020-10-26 Goals and Accountability

Making progress is sometimes tough. But what IS progress anyway and who decides what success looks like? Like most things it’s not one size fits all. Each person has to decide for themselves what success means to them. Regardless, there has to be some measure and to measure something there has to be a value…

2020-10-25 Target Acquired

Today.. instead of walking this morning or getting my GLR submissions distributed I spent like 5 hours on my own poetry submissions. Research, editing, writing cover letters, etc. I even created a new chapbook to submit to a contest. When they say writing is hard work, I’m pretty sure all of this has a lot…
