This was a fun one. I’m trying to remember the last moment where I completely lost track of time in the best way possible. I can think of easy times with friends, absolutely. This exercise was thinking about the theme of being so involved in a sport, game, book, or some kind of project though. […]

Happy National Daughters Day!

I have two games that I sort of play obsessively. It’s a quick 5 minute break when I’m anxious, bored, or need a break. Which is… sadly too much of the time! One of the games is Spider. Two suits, it’s a mindless game to find the sequence and it’s super satisfying. Because EVERY SINGLE […]

It’s so fun when my daily meditation with Jeff Warren hits all my feels. This morning (35 day streak when I started writing this, and now 42, woot!) it was all about having the RIGHT attitude. Accept what is here and now. It’s right because it’s happening right now. It is what it is. Yes, […]

I’m imagining you went down a back-alley street in the slums of Europe. Some creepy guy walked up to you and said for $1,600 (inflation!) you could get a fake passport. You decided that was a good idea and went to a local ATM around the corner. You met back up… he took your picture. […]

I was doing some clean-up on my phone and ran into my “words” for 2023. The last few years I have not done New Year’s resolutions, per se, but more of words to live by. The note I discovered was brainstorming different words and explanations of what I wanted to focus on for the year. […]

I’m not a tennis player nor a big fan of the sport. I know love means zero but I still don’t understand the scoring. My parents are fans so I will lightly follow some of the big names. My mother actually had some tennis great that she was matchmaking for my sister at some point. […]

A very happy birthday to my beautiful soul-sister and bestie. When we first met, I knew you would always be in my life. Cheers to long ago apple martinis at the Melting Pot and lingering dinners talking about life. Thank you for being my late night emergency phone call. You are the person who can […]

I’ve been exploring meditation this year. Since *checks app* March, I’ve been running meditations through Calm at least 50% of the month. *Pats self on back* As I write this, I’m in an eleven day streak. I’m trying to shoot for 14 but it’s a holiday weekend and weekends just aren’t kind to me lately. […]

Tears drip down, salty and slow Weighted blanket of grief, presses down Each deep breath, grateful thoughts are formed Welcoming the sharp pinch of feelings, to settle in The sun, warming my body Finding some peace

I always look forward to reading Lisa Barone’s bi-weekly newsletter from OverIt. I have been reading her for over 15 years. (Yes, I had to go snoop on her LinkedIn and remember that she started at Bruce Clay in 2006!) I could go on and on about her writing but you should just go subscribe. […]

We watched Elemental, the new Pixar movie, yesterday. Sam, G, and I all cried. (G clarified that he cried once but he doesn’t remember which part!) Pixar does such wonderful movies. This one was very emotional (obviously!), beautiful, and quite touching. It had amazing imagery as well. There was a line at the end where […]

It’s been three years since Covid hit. Obviously, the years were difficult and quite an experience for the entire world. But what came out of that for each of us individually has been different. For me, lately I’ve been appreciating the moments spent with my loved ones. And the definition of loved ones includes the […]

Past lives are sort of a thing for me. I have vivid memories of reading Remembrance by Jude Deveraux back when I was 14 years old. I gave the book to several of my friends. My standout memory was sitting with Lindsay in an RV park where we were spending a few nights at the […]

This poor blog. Who has time to write? Not me. But I still miss it. Last month I got a notification through Google Webmaster that someone else is an owner over my website. That isn’t good, I thought! But what did I do? Nothing. I didn’t have much time. But finally a few weeks later […]
