Everyone deserves their 10 minutes!
I just read in someone else’s blog that it’s best to write when you have energy and are focused on your writing. Well, today I am tired. Not just “It’s been a hectic week,” tired, but the “I feel drugged and lethargic,” type of tired. I guess I should wait and do this another time... Continue Reading →
This week I’ve decided to get personal. I’m referring to a situation with which I’ve been dealing in regards to a health issue. Thankfully it’s not life threatening but still requires some special attention. And, as I’ll explain, it’s been frustrating, overwhelming and a bit scary at times. For most of my life I’ve suffered... Continue Reading →
I was on a roll, blogging every Friday like clockwork. Even when I thought I had nothing to say, I’d sit at the computer and write something, anything, to stay on my deadline. And it was feeling really good to know that every week I was both practicing my writing and expressing some truth about... Continue Reading →

I fall asleep pretty well, usually with some old TV sitcom on in the background (I am trying to turn it off before I actually fall... Continue Reading →
It’s funny where inspiration comes from, isn’t it? Some weeks I know just what I’m going to write about and other weeks, I have no idea. But still, something always bubbles up. This was one of those weeks when I’ve been so distracted by my own stuff that I haven’t really looked around me and... Continue Reading →
The other day I had my annual visit to the optometrist. She’s a young woman with two tween children, one girl and one boy. The girl, who is older, is in Middle School and just beginning her foray into the world of social media. Her mom and I chatted about the pitfalls of this very... Continue Reading →
I first decided to pick this blog back up at the urging of my husband, who said I had some “magic,” ability to connect with people. I’m not sure if that’s true, but I do enjoy learning about others and sharing my own story, so here’s another chapter in mine. This past weekend we embarked... Continue Reading →
Last week we were at Costco and I came face to face with something I swore I would not buy again: a scale. Silly, I know, but I’ve had the same scale for many, many years and while it has not been accurate for some time, I’m comfortable with it. I know its quirks. I... Continue Reading →
I’ve been reading on some other, really great blogs, about the imperative to be consistent in order to grow an audience. I totally agree, and I’ve pledged to do my best to be consistent in my own posting. I’m actually very impressed with some of my favorite bloggers’ ability to post something every day,...
