Apparently, Amazon, somehow, came to understand the gravity of my coffee situation because my new Keurig arrived a day early. I didn't have to go spread my ray of sunshine to another barista this morning. Maybe the universe was sending me a subtle message. On this...

Yesterday felt like a Monday. Oh, right, it was. I shared my ordeal with accomplishing the simple task of making coffee. It seemed that the day was off-kilter, but I was determined to grab it by the throat and bend it to my will. Sometimes I crack myself up. Anyway,...

I woke up late today and it threw me off. You are probably thinking, "Allison, you are basically chained to your home, why the hell do you need to get up so early?". I have a routine, friends. It involves being woken up by a demanding Basset, who is desperate to go...

People, it felt amazing for me to vent yesterday. (For those of you who haven't read it yet, please feel free to peruse my blog entry, It's You.) It was such a release. So freeing. And the response was unbelievable. We are all in this together, well, except for the...

With no end in sight for our current hostage situation AKA quality family time, I was reminded of a practice that I learned early on in my spiritual recovery program. At the end of each day, I write down three things that I am grateful for and two things that I...

I have no idea what day it is but I figured it's Monday since it is gloomy and spitting rain. Turns out, I was right. I just want to say that I appreciate those who are swimming in the humor. Trying to laugh at a really bizarre situation. I love all of you, who are...
