Untold Stories: Kids Edition

I don't talk about my kids a lot anymore. I used to when their problems were small and the solutions were simple. When the biggest struggle I had was finding the balance between their need for snuggle time and my need for down time or how to juggle their nap time with my needing to…

Behind the Scenes of My Latest Piece

I am going to veer off the railroad tracks here a smidge; break with tradition if you will and post on a Sunday. One of my pieces was published by one of my favorite sites and I just saw that it went live! And I'm gonna share it with you. Why? I don't really have…

Numbers and Nomenclatures

I had a thought. In fact I have several of them and it's Thursday so let's discuss. I have actually been thinking about this for awhile. Like ever since I decided that writing was my ticket to joy. It's been an interesting ride because I haven't had much success in the way that we typically…

Write Way to Think

Y'all. I had an epiphany. There is power in writing it down. Now you may be thinking that's not an epiphany, you literally just talked about that like three posts ago. But the amazing thing about concepts and the brain is that it's always making new connections to what we already know. I guess that…

On-point(less) Pins

I’m doing a little re-run series because I want to post consistently but I don’t have enough posts yet to keep ’em coming so we are gonna share some words that I wrote way back when and breathe some new life into them. So, without further ado… I have a love-hate relationship with Pinterest. Holiday…

Milo Mon-Deactivation

Today's post is gonna be short and sweet because, well, I don't have much time to write. Nope let me rephrase that. I had time but I chose instead to binge watch old favorites on Netflix (ahem The Good Place) and veg out for an extended period of time. I regret nothing. I did, however,…

Thursday Thoughts: Wrestling with Rest

Y'all. It's all too much. And by "all" I mean the pandemic. For the zillionth time, I am in health care. I have gone into work for three days of 2022 and it is fucking madness. COVID-19 is out of control. I mean that very sincerely. If you are one of the lucky ones that…

Don’t Post It

I’m doing a little re-run series because I want to post consistently but I don’t have enough posts yet to keep ’em coming so we are gonna share some words I’ve written for other sites and give them a permanent home on this site. This post actually compliments one I am currently working on tentatively…

Thursday Thoughts: I Don’t Have Any Sensical Ones

I'm trying to access the part of my brain that does the thinking but it seems to have gone dormant. Or maybe I have too many thoughts and I can't organize them into coherent sentences. So maybe I'll just write them all down for your reading pleasure. For starters, I'm devastated (and I wish I…

Fitting Rooms

One thing I thoroughly enjoy about writing is the thought processing. It is a way for me to organize my brain and often times gets me to the core of what I am thinking or feeling. Ironically, that exact same fact gives me pause when I write. Also, fun fact: I have no idea how…
