Another Perspective
Feeling better today. I stayed home from work anyway just so I could be at home during my attempts to eat and rehydrate. In case my body decides to rebel like it did yesterday, I’ll already be at home. I’m going to pick up today with what I wanted to write about on Tuesday. So,… →

Talk About it Tuesday I am a chronic screenshot taker. I do a lot of scrolling on Facebook and Instagram and so I am perpetually taking a screenshot of quotes and memes and other things that I want to remember. I have quite the collection of motivational quotes. I think I’d like to start sharing… →

“Behave Yourself”
5Ws Wednesday—What does it feel like…? I’ve been submitting essays to publications hoping to secure my first “yes”. I have a few that I’ve been rotating through for various magazines.

Saturday Morning Reset
It’s Saturday morning. Well, Saturday mid-morning. It’s almost 11:00 and I have only been up and out of bed for about 20 minutes. The weekend morning routine for my husband and I is very similar to our evening routine. As our days end on the couch, so do our mornings begin. But this morning, I… →
