Gratitude into the Future
Thoughts on Mental Health Thursday September is National Suicide Prevention Month. I’ve written extensively about my mental health. There’s so much that people don’t understand about people with mental health issues and I’ve made it my personal mission to share my story and experience so that more people will know what it’s like for people… →

The Apps of My Life
What are your favorite 5 apps on your phone? Bold of WordPress to assume I have 5 apps on my phone that I use regularly. To be fair, I have many, many apps. I just don’t use them very often. For example, the payroll app for my job. I use it exactly once a month… →

Equally Compelling and Horrifying
On Friday, I started reading this book: I got maybe 50 or 60 pages in before I went to bed. There’s almost 500 pages in the whole book. I remember posting about it on Threads and saying I would have to pace myself because of how horrifying it was. That was Friday. I read this… →

Real Tears
5Ws Wednesday Sometimes on Threads, there will be a post where somebody asks what celebrity death caused us to cry actual tears. I’ve never had an answer for that because until yesterday, it was nobody. Ask me again today. What celebrity death brought you to tears? Dolly Parton. There aren’t enough things that can be… →

Breaking Up With Tom
Talk About it Tuesday I finished the book Mrs. Fletcher by Tom Perrotta on Sunday. On Saturday night, I lay in bed until about 11:30 reading. I turned off the light and went to sleep after I got mad at Tom. Yet again. This whole book is based on a female main character. She is… →

Always With an Idea
Guess I should have saved my Tattoo Day post from yesterday for today. However, I still have an answer for this question. And that is because I have not yet exhausted all of my tattoo ideas. In October, a.k.a. spooky season, I plan to go back to the woman who did the turtles on my… →
