An Authentic Life
I’m exhausted by this question. I have written, at great length, about my biggest challenges last year. Last year, being of course 2025 now. My challenges were few, but they were big and they revolved around putting the work in with therapy and healing my inner child so that she can morph into the tattooed… →

Music. Always.
What makes you feel nostalgic? I’m limited on time today. I’m meeting up with an online knitting friend who is visiting family near where I live. We’re going to visit a yarn store and have lunch. I’m very excited about that. So, with my small amount of time, I’ll simply say that music makes me… →

So Positive
There are all kinds of relationships. Actually, before I go any further, what is the actual definition of a relationship? Google says: “the way in which two or more concepts, objects, or people are connected, or the state of being connected.“ So it’s really all about connection. In my life, there are a variety of… →

Florence, Where Have You Been?!
Music/Movie Monday I didn’t drive to Ikea today. Josh had a good point. I could go and pick up all the new shelves we’re getting for our creative space, but where would we put those big, honkin’ boxes while we fix up the room? We are going all out with this, to include painting the… →

Good Post-Christmas Music
It’s Sunday. As such, I usually have something posted a lot earlier in the day than almost 6:00 pm. But despite a series of days where my mood was cheerful and playful and chatty, I have run into a day where I’m just not. It happens. I woke up with an intense headache that I… →

Flashback to the Days After
It’s the day after Christmas. It’s also Flashback Friday. I have a wonderful app called Timehop that shows me what pictures I’ve taken and what I’ve posted on social media on this day each previous year. Today when I scrolled through 15 years of December 26th memories, I noticed quite a few pictures like this:… →

5Ws Wednesday—What does that remind you of?
With tomorrow being Christmas Day, I am basking today in the glow of our Christmas decorations. All of them are reminiscent of past memories in some way. Our tree for example: Most of the ornaments on our tree are not just random ornaments. Many are gifts from students (or their parents) over the years. Some… →

Me, Of Course
Share what you know about the year you were born. I could Google some facts about 1982. I’m thinking about movie that came out that year, that sort of thing. I think E.T. and Poltergeist are two that come to mind. I could be wrong though. All I really know for sure about that year… →

Music/Movie Monday—A Christmas Story
With this being the last Monday before Christmas, I feel compelled to share my favorite part of the movie “A Christmas Story”. It is my absolute favorite Christmas movie and I truly think it’s one of those “you just had to be there” kind of movies. I’m pretty sure my supervisor at work hasn’t seen… →
