Tattoos, What Else?
Screenshot Saturday My Timehop today showed me a screenshot that I saved a year ago today: I saved it while sitting in the tattoo shop waiting for my third appointment on my blue flowers. I posted it to Facebook with commentary about how I was feeling awesome and that I kick ass and the tattoo… →

On the Road Again…but not like that.
“Something Good” Sunday Today is Mother’s Day. Never a good day for me. I’m a daughter whose mother is still alive but I have chosen not to talk to her anymore. I am also a wife unable to have children of my own. Josh and I went out to breakfast because the knobs on our… →

People Change, Get Over It
Thoughts on Mental Health Thursday I have changed over the past two years. I have written about it extensively on this blog. People change. Not always for the better, but in my case, it was a very good thing. Yesterday, a friend of mine who still works at the place I left two years ago… →

Fun and Whimsy
BONUS Screenshot I saved this screenshot on this day last year. Today especially, I feel like 13 year old me would look at what I did today and be in total awe that I am who she will grow up to be. And that’s because I got another tattoo today. It has been almost a… →

New Job, Who Dis?
Today was my first day at my new job. I don’t want to say too much about it because as I grow my social media presence, I’m cautious about that whole “doxxing” thing. What I will say is that the pictures I took this morning are now irrelevant. I was going to say something like…this… →

OTN is a popular abbreviation when putting into words what you’re working on. You might say, “I have a short-sleeved sweater OTN”. However, this doesn’t really work if you’re talking about a… →

Turtles and the Big Game
“Something Good” Sunday I waited to post this until this evening because I knew my something good was going to be the tattoo I just got. It is by far the most fun one I have. I love turtles. They’re my favorite animal and I’m a child of the 90s, so Lisa Frank was the… →

No, no! Not there!
Last year when I answered this question, I didn’t have an answer. I reflected on the fact that I had already done the thing that I was most scared to do, which was quit my job of 19 years. And to do it, all it took was a phone call from my “mentor” where she… →

From Different to the Same
Let me tell you what my honest, very first reaction was to this question…I literally said out loud “not a g**damn thing”. Then I paused for a moment and wondered if I answered this last year. I know the prompts are repeated every day now, but last year I didn’t always answer them each day.… →

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… →
