I can always identify the moments where I am not completely in my own body. When I am distracted and not fully paying attention. The week has been so heavy that I have found myself doing incredibly stupid shit. Last night, I decided that I was not cooking dinner. The...

How is it that one day can be a mixture of happiness and extreme sadness? In yesterday's blog, I shared how I was taking my Aunt to see her husband as his life journey was transitioning. Being of service in that manner was such a gift and I will be forever grateful...

One of my favorite childhood memories was hanging out with my parent's friends. Describing this group as fun, would be a complete understatement. I remember New Year's Eve parties at my parent's house where they would roll up the rug, move the furniture back, turn on...

I have been on pins and needles waiting for my manuscript editing to be complete. Anxious to hear what she has to say about it. It isn't like I need validation. Okay, that's a lie. Obviously, not everyone will like it, but a little affirmation is always welcome. What...

I should have placed a warning label on myself that said, "approach with caution" as I ventured out of my house yesterday. It started with one Basset puking on the carpet and then her sister using the living room as her own personal toilet. I used the word that rhymes...

Sometimes I listen to the children I gave birth to and wonder where they came from. Obviously, I know where they came from since I was there, but the stuff that comes out of their mouths can be surprising to say the least. Last night, I was held hostage at Bailey's...

Yesterday, I wrote about how moments matter, and sometimes they impact one's spirit so much, you can't ignore them. Case in point, how my husband chooses to cook a frozen pizza. No foil. No pan. Just a pizza positioned directly on the rack. As his lunch was cooking, I...

Yesterday, I attended a tea party hosted by a very dear friend. It was a way for her to honor her Mother who recently passed away. I am very selective in my commitment to places where I have to deal with humans, but I didn't even ponder that notion when I received her...

I live in a home where the individuals have acquired the great talent of ignoring. It really is amazing how talented they are and I really appreciate their commitment. (Cue exaggerated slow clap with my two middle fingers.) When you have pets, it is understood that...
