Hey y'all, it's been a minute, eh? I didn't exactly plan to take a hiatus from the blog entirely and yet it's clearly what I needed to do for the last while, says the universe. And now, the universe is telling me (by keeping me awake on the one night when I VERY INTENTIONALLY went …

An Open Apology to E, K, and S, and the Entire Beautiful Online Community I Unceremoniously Crashed Out of Last Friday
First of all, let me say this post is a distraction; I am a distraction. I never actually wanted anyone to read anything I have written. I'm not good enough, I'm not worthy, and the opportunity cost is too high. In other words, don't pay attention to me; there are so many more important things …
Derailed
So, folks, it has been a while. Any semblance of a writing "practice" I had built beginning at the onset of the pandemic in March 2020 has left my being due to an intense series of events that have occurred to and around me and my family in the last two months. I will admit …
How Many Different Ways are there to See the World?
This question came to me the other day and the more I consider it, the more joy and hope I feel for humanity. Back up, allow me to explain. There are a few things we run into on this planet that are constant, fixed, measurable, do not fluctuate based on time or conditions, at least …

Focus Word for 2023
As the new year is now upon us and the days start to get noticeably longer (I walked the dogs until nearly 5pm this afternoon and twilight hung around until we arrived home), it is time to start moving around and seeing how the new year feels. Not unlike trying on a new favorite outfit, …
Happy New Year
Ahhhhhhhhhh. Let me just begin this post with a sigh. This year my company was gracious enough to give us all the holiday gift of a week off from Christmas to New Years and even though it's now Friday night and the week is coming to a close, I have truly felt about 15% less …
It’s Been a Minute, or Vibes
Time flies when you're having a good time, right? You might be thinking that I've been working on some magnum opus post since I've been "away" for so long, but I assure you nothing could be further from the truth. The fact is, I've just not had the spark hit at the right time for …
If a Tree Falls…
...in the forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound? This is a question that I probably first heard of from a close friend when we were in high school. We were in band together, though he took it much more seriously than I did, competing in solo competitions …
So This Thing Happened Friday Night…
As soon as I was home from walking the dogs Friday evening and layed out in the hammock until I started to feel the chill of the near-fall evening, I figured out what to do next for my free evening. Hubby's playing games with the gamers leaving me with my favorite company other than him: …
Alive, but Not Living
I'll start this post with the preface that, while I am not feeling excellent or excited to be alive these days (honestly, do I ever?), I am not suicidal and this post is not intended to be a cry for help or anything like that. I won't ever tell you how to feel or react …
