Writing freely, without hesitation nor reservation, without fear of failure (or fear of no readers). I haven’t written in a while and DO NOT have a New Year’s resolution to write more because then I WOULD be setting myself up for failure. BUT I don’t doubt that I can take more time to write, even…… Continue reading No Reservation
This used to be my nickname. I’m not sure what happened. I’ve become jaded. Not completely because in comparison to some people, I’m pretty positive. But sometimes life is cruel and hard and the people who DON’T deserve good things get them while others who have faith and live life positively, get crapped on. Maybe…… Continue reading The truth about Miss Mary Sunshine
Promise you won’t tell anyone? Actually some of you already know, but…shhhh… I play the piano…a little. I’m not great or really even good anymore, but I love to play…for myself. It’s like therapy and a distraction from life’s drama. A place where I can escape and only think about the notes on the page…… Continue reading Shhhhh…don’t tell anyone
I’m starting this letter today for you both but maybe a little for myself, as a sort of release of feelings of joy and sadness, locked up in this slightly crazy, yet beautiful soul of mine 🙂 Well maybe not a release of these feelings, but a sharing of them, with you both, my most…… Continue reading With All My Love, Mom
Hubs got me a pretty cool new bicycle recently. I haven’t used the bike much yet and I’ll blame that on the cold weather we’ve had since I got it 🙂 BUT our intention is go ride together in the evenings and on weekends. We spend a lot of time at our jobs and doing…… Continue reading My new rig
It’s not what you think, I don’t think it is anyway. Well…maybe a little. I’ve been troubled by politics lately. I’m not a fan of what is going on. People are outraged, myself included. So I wanted to do SOMETHING to help myself make sense of it all. I mean, there are ALOT of things…… Continue reading I’m going to get political
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
