I'm probably the last person to hear this wording or concept, but after today, my life may just be improved having heard it. I've been engaged, much of the day, with a number of conversations on LinkedIn with people who may legitimately believe that when and because they have a thought, that not only is …

Things are Coming Together
It has been a while, but man, there has been some wicked life shit I've been working out lately. I don't even really know how to describe it, but of course, as expected, things started moving really fast with that last shamanic ritual I participated in and it's been a bit of a whirlwind. First, …
Thresholds
Everyone has boundaries, even if they rarely get violated, or you don't know exactly what they are, or you DO know but do not enforce well with others. Those boundaries do exist and many of us were stretched beyond what we thought we were physically, mentally, and emotionally capable of only 5 years ago. Quite …
Surveillance
I went to the grocery store today for a single item. I generally take great pains to avoid single-item trips for efficiency and environmental reasons. My list-making and meal planning skills are pretty on point. However, today, I needed to buy tampons and nothing else. And, of course, Murphy's Law would not allow this trip …
The Upside of Inflation
If you haven't been living under a rock or have been COMPLETELY insulated from the economy (including not bartering with others who engage in the economy) for the last year, you know we've been experiencing a bit of inflation. Even if you don't really understand what "inflation" means technically speaking, no doubt you've noticed that …

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 …
The Definition of Mansplaining
I've been trying to help my parents rid themselves of the canoe that they have owned and loved for 30 years. I generally try to avoid Craigslist for this sort of thing, but after my incredibly quaint idea of printing out flyers with my name/number on tags at the bottom, strategically placed near all the …
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 …

I am not a big pro football fan. And just to be clear, I mean the NFL, the National Football League, rough-and-tumble, smashmouth, American Football. There are many reasons for this, but mostly I just didn't really grow up in a huge football household and we didn't really have a "home" team living in Southern …
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 …
