Life can certainly move at a fast pace. It is the illusion that I can control it, but the reality is we are all prisoners of time. Last week was a world wind of activity. At least for someone who doesn't normally have a calendar that was plagued by constant activity....

With the unique start to the year, I did a little pivot. Look, I can't label the 2025 as a bad year. Brian had a heart attack, but he didn't die, so the year is not bad. It just has been challenging. I started my new job this week and to say that it is eye-opening...

We are a week into 2025 and I will be honest, I am not impressed. YELP review would warrant a 2 and that's being generous. During a wild winter weather storm, Brian suffered a heart attack. Let me preface by saying, he is so blessed to still be here and came home...

At the beginning of 2024, I picked a word for the year. I no longer rely on resolutions that leave me empty. Instead, I pick a word to focus on that leads me to a lot of unexpected surprises. My word this year was "intentional". This particular selection provided some...

I am not one to wish the day away, but a reboot would be helpful at this point. Nothing bad, just life being life or perhaps, a better description is me being me. I have suffered from an on and off migraine for three weeks. It just never fully goes away. My...

That title is a gentle reminder to breathe through the bullshit AKA being an adult. On Saturday, I was about to give my two weeks notice to terminate my position of being a grownup. This shit sucks. I mean, it does have some merit, but the mundane is a zero rating on...

This year has flown by with warp speed. I mean, good glory, Thanksgiving is tomorrow! I realize that the holidays bring up lots of emotional baggage. It is hard to harmonize with people who might be your tool tester. The good news is that you have choices! You can set...

Parenting is an art. It is a dance. It is pivoting as your child becomes an adult. Adult children are more difficult than toddlers, in my opinion. Partly, because they have brains of their own and aren't interested in my vast wisdom. I am FULL of wisdom. My youngest...
