Boundaries
For the past several new years, I’ve chosen a word of intention to guide my next 365 days. 2020’s word is BOUNDARIES. Boundaries… personal boundaries, specifically… are defined by Wikipedia as: “…guidelines, rules, or limits that a person creates to identify reasonable, safe, and… Continue Reading “Boundaries”
Dear Class of 2020
This is just one of probably thousands of letters or scripts that will be written over the course of the next month. Words of wisdom will be delivered by celebrities, politicians, and icons from all facets of the planet. I don’t contend to have… Continue Reading “Dear Class of 2020”
Hindsight or Blindsight?
People who know me know that I adore music. In fact, I’ve always wished my life were an actual musical… where at any given moment in time, I, along with those around me, break out into song and dance. It’s why so many friends… Continue Reading “Hindsight or Blindsight?”
Stupid Perceptions
I’ve been doing a lot of reading, writing, and coloring given COVID-19 and my best adherence to self-distancing. Virginia’s governor upped the ante yesterday when he gave stay-at-home orders. Executive Order #55 says we should basically home quarantine “until June 10, 2020, unless amended… Continue Reading “Stupid Perceptions”
Just Do You
Theoretically, social media is what is keeping us going at this time, during the COVID-19 pandemic… online classes, Zoom meetings, FaceTiming with friends, mindless scrolling, YouTube videos that make you laugh, TikToks that make you dance, pinning things to Pinterest boards, and not missing… Continue Reading “Just Do You”
Unprecedented
Sometimes we don’t realize the power of a moment IN the moment. We can’t imagine the impact it will have. We don’t understand the implication or consequences of our actions. We forget that change is the only thing that ever stays the same. Whether… Continue Reading “Unprecedented”
5, 6, 7, 8– Who Do We Appreciate?
My daughter came home a few days ago pretty worked up for her normally calm, cool, collected self. When she’s worked up it registers as feisty and expressive. (I’ve no idea where she gets that from! 😉) She’d been in an argument with some boys… Continue Reading “5, 6, 7, 8– Who Do We Appreciate?”
Did I Shave My Legs for This?
** EXPLICIT CONTENT… Not for the prudish or faint of heart. ** Online dating. Yep. Two little words… two little words full of awkwardness, innuendo, and perfectly posed photos meant to initially entice and later disappoint. Now granted, with full disclosure, this online dating… Continue Reading “Did I Shave My Legs for This?”
Dolce Far Niente
It’s no secret that I’m a fan of counseling and talk therapy. I’ve been seeing the same counselor for more than five years. She’s helped me navigate a divorce, job changes and challenges, parenting, “childing” (I made that word up, but basically the opposite… Continue Reading “Dolce Far Niente”
Ready, Set, GO!
I’m sure I could keep stalling, waiting, postponing—but a successful blog isn’t idle for nearly a year. I, the said blog’s writer, wasn’t idle during that time, quite the opposite. I was in the middle of what felt like a perpetual shit storm. Life… Continue Reading “Ready, Set, GO!”
