Conversations with Adult Children

Sometimes it is hard to believe that I am old enough to have two adult children. Sure, I wake up and feel like I am at least eighty, but I am rocking the fact that my face is showing minimal signs of aging. Bailey will be 25 this year and Bryce will turn 21. Holy...

Let me tell you about my terrifying situation that happened yesterday. (Taking a deep breath, as this is so difficult to share.) When I write my blog, it automatically links to several social media platforms. This is an excellent way for me to improve traffic and I am...

You know those moments where someone says something to you where you instantly know they are baiting you? Maybe not intentionally, but baiting nonetheless. Yesterday, I experienced just that. After the week I have had, I was looking forward to simply existing without...

You all have been privy to my journey of health bumps. From a torn tendon to a boob biopsy, I have learned that I am finally at a stage in my life where I just sit back and enjoy the shit show that is unfolding before me. I no longer react, project, or try to control...

We are almost two weeks into 2020, and I have got to say, I am wondering if there is a return policy. Seriously. I am not complaining, just mildly curious as to why my body is giving me the finger. Yesterday was my breast biopsy. Now, this isn't my first time at the...
