Is it completely unreasonable to be irritated by someone who insists everything should be in Times New Roman when Calibri is more my style? Ego… I dislike people so caught up in their own ego they spend all their time mentioning their value and failing to acknowledge anyone else’s. I swear I know how toContinue reading “Thinking out loud…”

Big changes are coming…I’m restructuring every little thing in my world… I will have much to share when I’m done. I just had to take a moment to share my current music interest (loving Rosenfeld’s sexy vibe) … and remind anyone who stops by to take a leap of faith in life. You don’t usuallyContinue reading “Peek into my world”

It’s Friday morning… it’s been a busy week. Today is my birthday. I have not been blogging much. I guess I have just been busy… happy… momentarily less reflective and needing to share. I did go to a workshop in downtown Seattle last weekend that I thought about sharing about… I convinced my friend SandyContinue reading “Happy Friday”

Reminder … all we have is now. I am out of town for the holiday weekend. I have been out of town a lot lately… it’s nice to have a change of scenery. It also gives me space to rethink my life a bit… you know different energy is good sometimes for a reboot. I’mContinue reading “Now”

I have made some choices in the last week… One of which is to go to Europe… Today I began planning out my trip 🙂 I will be going to France, Italy and Greece in a couple months. Next Spring I will go to Ireland, Scotland, England and Denmark. I am back to the gymContinue reading “New Chapter”

My dog died yesterday. Although her inner fight made her walk again, run again and even play again in the last two weeks, her liver didn’t have the same determination. She was the final piece of the life I had with Robert… Maybe dogs are here to remind us of what unconditional love looks like.Continue reading “Another new normal”

The year I didn’t exist… by my name anyway. My parents had moved to Burbank, California after leaving the house in Topanga Canyon where the basement was inhabited by some who would become to be known as Manson Family followers, friends, and “family” members… Not all of them lived there, only about five with othersContinue reading “What’s in a name?”

A few days ago, I started having stabbing, zinging pain in my left leg and hip… then some in my left elbow too. For a minute I had to think about if I was picking up my dog’s issues and feeling her since she is having neurological issues on her left side. As an empath,Continue reading “I’m defective”

When the world shifted on its axis two plus years ago with the worldwide pandemic, the way people interact with one another changed.  I think it had already begun, but the pandemic sped it up. We as a society are so disconnected…  Thanks to texting, tweeting, social media posting, etc. we have talked “at” eachContinue reading “Can you hear me?”

Mercury in retrograde, lunar eclipse, … and the sun, moon and Saturn creating a “harsh T-square” in the sky… it’s a fucked-up energy trifecta. I was already having a funky week, then it got worse. Piper is my dog… she was born in a trailer park and taken away from her mom too young. WhenContinue reading “Mayday”

I am feeling melancholy today. There is no one reason… when I feel this way, I do stuff. I mowed the lawn (and the neighbor’s lawn too… didn’t want to make a line between our houses like some sort of selfish dick). I cooked… a lot. It’s what I do when I feel like IContinue reading “Rainy days and Mondays”

It occurs to me this has been a life lesson for me. The art of letting go… of non-attachment. If we sign up to learn specific things in a lifetime, I took a crash course in this subject this lifetime. The Buddhist concept of “non-attachment” is about not being attached to outcomes and “things”. SomeContinue reading “The Zen in Letting Go”

I woke up in the middle of the night and couldn’t go back to sleep. Instead of fighting with myself, I decided to watch a movie. I love movies… Some I will watch periodically even though I’ve seen them many times because they are comforting and almost like an old friend… and I have missedContinue reading “Insomnia, rumination & action”

I was recently taught how to use free weights. It really does feel like a better workout than using the machines. You use so many muscles making microscopic shifts to keep balance and posture rather than sitting in a machine that just restricts and focuses your workout to a couple of specific muscles. I’ve alreadyContinue reading “In the “off limits” area”

I’ve spent some time working for my ex-brother-in-law lately. Of all my ex-husband’s siblings, I do like this one the best… and he and his wife were and are the only ones who still talk to me. Time spent with them always reminds me of so many things though… Ed calls me in a fitContinue reading “Cape optional…”

I am peopled out today… but I have to work today anyway. It has been a long week… while still recovering from the sinus infection, I have worked three different jobs, begun a new fitness routine, spent the last day with a child in tow and see no day off in the foreseeable future. It’sContinue reading “Sunday morning…”

My week was much different than I anticipated. My youngest daughter, who is 30, is living with me for now. Her partner, Julia, also lives here. Julia is technically married to someone else – a Brazilian man. Welcome to 2022 – where families and relationships look different… The husband (Lohan) was accused of “Rape” ofContinue reading “Weird week…”

These songs are on repeat in my mind today (and my car, and the house…). The lyrics and melodies are really speaking to me. I keep finding myself dancing and singing today. Thought I would share them.

Trying to fall asleep, it occurred to me… What if I am forgetting how you touched me? … barely remember the way your fingers moved in soft circles on my skin. What if I am forgetting the feeling of your domination? … it had become my breath … and now I can’t even remember theContinue reading “What if?”

I wrote a song while I was driving today. I don’t write music, so you’ll have to make up your own tune I guess – LOL. Below are the lyrics… thank goodness for “notes” on the iphone and talk (or sing) to type ability or I would have had to pull over into a snowbankContinue reading “Almost had something…”
