My husband and I stopped by Julia’s Cafe & Books recently, which is a fundraising division of Habitat for Humanity Charlotte and connected to the ReStore. I was searching the shelves for something meaningful to read and would’ve loved a gripping piece of fiction. Nonfiction typically isn’t my bag. BUT I happened upon the shelf housing the…… Continue reading “Neckage”
There are some things that my brain is just not made to do. I consider myself a pretty smart person. I mostly make sound decisions and am analytical. I earned good grades in school a million years ago. I graduated from college a half a million years ago. I take continuing education courses to keep…… Continue reading Cryptograms make my brain hurt
When I started my blog I said that I would do 2 things for my body per week. It’s typed right there on my home page. Check it out in black and white. But I’m a liar 🙂 I’ve been struggling, well not really struggling, I’ve been lazy, really lazy. Don’t get me wrong, I’m…… Continue reading Confessions of a Couch Potato
I will miss you Mr President. It’s January 19th 2017 and tomorrow you will no longer be @POTUS but you will, in my mind, still be the greatest U.S. President of my lifetime and arguably of all time. Your grace and dignity, your devotion to the American people, and your positive, uplifting spirit has helped…… Continue reading I Will Miss You
2016 was a rough year for many including myself. I encountered painful situations, some that linger into 2017 presenting me with lots of “unknowns” to ponder. There were times last year when I did not know if I would be ok emotionally and even physically because of the anxiety I was feeling. I tried not…… Continue reading Don’t Live There
I’m not sure what my aversion is to drinking water but I struggle with it. I mean I carry around a 32 oz container of water, yet I rarely drink it. There is a cup of water by my bed at night and one on my desk at the office, yet I rarely drink from…… Continue reading Bone Dry
In the early 2000’s, my parents, in their 60’s at the time, each owned a Nintendo DS. While they were active physically, upgrading and maintaining their home, large yard and garden as well as other activities, they also enjoyed playing on their handheld games. One of their favorite games was Brain Age. “Train your brain…… Continue reading Brain age
Sleeping in? What is that? It’s been mostly unheard of for me for the past 19+ years since my oldest was born but today, it happened! Don’t get too excited. It’s a workday, I’m working from my house, my kids (19 & 17) stayed at their dad’s last night AND I slept in until 7:48…… Continue reading Sleeping In
Her spirit is broken. She keeps obsessing uncontrollably, fixating on the negative, the worst that could happen. Where does this come from? All the pain and hurt she’s suffered in the past coming to the surface, making her worry that it will only get worse? What good will it do, worrying about things outside her…… Continue reading Broken Yet Healing
I stopped doing one thing and started doing another so does that count as 2? Of course it does. There are no rules here LOL. ONE: I’ve spent many years, like a lot of women, having major negative thoughts about how I look. Obsessively “dieting” yet not exercising, shaming myself at every glance in the…… Continue reading Be Positive and Try Yoga
