Let’s Make This Work #Collaborate #StrongerTogether

I am writing this on Sunday, and I am icing my right knee. Believe it or not, what did me in was too much shopping with my sister who was visiting last week. Who knew shopping had side effects? The shopping excursions were interesting because I watched how people acted and treated each other in... Continue Reading →

Pushing Grief Aside, Again #Grieving #LifeLesson

I am moving at the end of the month, so this weekend I have begun the packing process. First, you get the boxes and put them in the garage and just look at them. And then the only word that runs the rodeo in your head is “work”. {sigh} I really shouldn’t complain, after all... Continue Reading →

Yes, It Really Is About Your Mindset #GlassIsAlwaysFull

Lately, I have been experiencing others in my universe that are far too quick to jump to conclusions, seem to accept the worst or appear to be so negative that they assume the worst case scenario. That behavior makes me batshitcrazy. But pondering this has opened my mind and reminded me how I grew to... Continue Reading →

Going On A Road Trip, Again #DreamRoadTrip

Ah, the spring season is waning and the summer season is waxing us with warmer temperatures. Now what? Well for starters, I am looking at a new rig. Time for a new vehicle, time for a change, time for an upgrade. Probably going to be an entire new color I have never owned. So much... Continue Reading →

Do Something, Damnit! #MarchForOurLives2018

Who would have ever guessed it would take an entirely new, purposeful generation to finally make change in America when it comes to gun violence. Who would have dreamed that the very survivors of the latest mass murder in a school setting would just say no, no more. Enough is enough! Who would have thought... Continue Reading →

My 2018 Will Be About #IPromiseMyself #BeBetter

I follow @MichaelChatman on Twitter because he is the sort of positive I want in my life from people that make a difference. From following others, I learn to improve myself, to become a better person. I admire their ideas, their passion for the greater good, and their passion for spreading the word for what...

Taking Responsibility & Be Kinder #ItIsAboutTime

I am in Grand Rapids, Minnesota, helping my sister out during her recovery from her second back surgery. Where she and Steven live, 25 wooded acres along the Mississippi River, I have had the distinct pleasure of stunning views, a serene setting, the place to myself, with the exception of their dog that I am...

Unlocking the Mystery of Writing #ICanWrite #WriteItDown

This past Saturday was spent mostly at home, tinkering about doing household chores that had been set aside for every imaginable excuse under the sun, to the moon and back. In the early afternoon, I treated myself to a writing workshop at Surel’s Place, an artist in residence program in the Live Work Create District... Continue Reading →

What I Did to Get Away from the Chaos #BeTheChange

I am literally exhausted by the rhetoric in America, which has reached all-time lows or highs, depending how you look at it.  Americans are living in a world where our country is so divided that it is creating chaos in our own homes, our own lives. I want to change my world first, to help... Continue Reading →
