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?”

Mayday
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”
Rainy days and Mondays
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”
The Zen in Letting Go
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”
Insomnia, rumination & action
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”
In the “off limits” area
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”
Cape optional…
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…”
Sunday morning…
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…”
Shaken, not stirred
Working out is boring. There I said it… Here are my thoughts in the gym yesterday. The most boring part is the treadmill I always start with. There are about 20 TVs mounted to watch – but I just put my airpods in and listen to my music. I try to go when the gymContinue reading “Shaken, not stirred”
Clarity (or momentarily absofuckinglutely crazy)
Last night before going to sleep I set an intention. I wanted communication or guidance from my guides while I slept (I did request it with a “please” so as to not sound demanding – LOL). I slept very deeply for 11 hours… I don’t remember any dreams… or anything at all. But I wokeContinue reading “Clarity (or momentarily absofuckinglutely crazy)”
Swearing, cooking and shining
I wanted to share a couple things from my email this morning before I head to the gym (yes, reading 400+ emails and working out this morning… all sorts of diversions to avoid sitting down to focus on taxes – LOL). The first – an email I get from authors of a cookbook. I loveContinue reading “Swearing, cooking and shining”
Unpacking
I have a lot to unpack here today (both mentally and physically). I have been out of town… it was a girl’s trip – it was fun… but I am also a person who requires alone time (probably too much of it) so I have a level of internal exhaustion. Plus being around a lotContinue reading “Unpacking”
Weird week…
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…”
Silly shenanigans ~
I am a little goofy today, so I apologize in advance… I had to drive all the way to Kitsap Peninsula North today to get a sign and a box off a listing (Yes folks, momma’s getting paid! Wahoo!). On the way I took some pictures I always want to take on this route, becauseContinue reading “Silly shenanigans ~”
Today’s playlist
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.
No Namaste Today
What a crazy week… 18-hour days of non-stop going. I’m not complaining… I have done this for years before, just not lately… When I’m not busy prospecting for new business and doing signings, I’m still on this disaster response and now also have a second one in progress. All day I have been trying toContinue reading “No Namaste Today”
Happy Valentine’s Week
The storm has passed… again. If you have been reading my blog for the last year, you know sometimes I have my bad days… or weeks. My apologies for whining, being grumpy and being no fun at all! It has been (and continues to be) a journey… death, loss, growth, life, and the shit showContinue reading “Happy Valentine’s Week”
What if?
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?”
January update
You can’t keep picking apples off a tree hoping to find a peach. You can’t teach a grown man how to be positively dominant or a DD if he isn’t wired that way. You would think that I am old enough to know these things. The comet came back around again…once again, I swear thisContinue reading “January update”
A not hot mess
I am a fucking disaster… I should wrap my entire house, my car and myself with caution tape so people will be warned to stay away. I didn’t sleep well again… so I’m extra cranky. Just read someone else’s blog today… this one is covered in caution tape warning you to stay away. Of course,Continue reading “A not hot mess”
Almost had something…
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…”

Art Festival
The art festival was quite a success. I was really happy about the Covid protocol that was in place also… The last week has been energetically exhausting…so I don’t have much to say, but here are some pictures for you. There were many other activities taking place at the festival as well…aerial bondage, body painting,Continue reading “Art Festival”
poem
No sound when the heart breaks No whisper in the void it makes Say good-bye and leave, I said Just me, alone in my empty bed Don’t even look back to see If I’m not what you want, then set me free Just let me heal Try to pretend it wasn’t real It wasn’t forContinue reading “poem”
No Thank You
I got a text in the middle of the night last night from someone I dated for a minute in 2018. It got me thinking about “attraction” with regard to relationships. I have not responded, and honestly I most likely will not…he texted me a few months ago on my birthday (we have the sameContinue reading “No Thank You”
Observations on the way to work
Today while driving to an appointment, I noticed a red beetle bug car broken down beside the road. Four or five miles up the road, there is another red beetle bug car broken down on the side of the road…how weird. Maybe people with that type of car should stay home today. Or make sureContinue reading “Observations on the way to work”
Is Santa okay?
Just need to share a thought before I head out the door…limited time and I get caught up in thoughts and forget to leave on time sometimes (or forget my shoes) … so real quick – Yesterday I had a signing that was kind of “weird”. I was supposed to meet a home seller atContinue reading “Is Santa okay?”
Wayward yoga girl
Welcome to my world… You might be thinking why “wayward yoga girl”? Let me break in down for you 🙂 The definition of “wayward” is “difficult to control or predict because of unusual or perverse behavior“. This cracks me up. And, yeah…it’s pretty accurate of “me”… on so many levels. Yoga…I love yoga. I alwaysContinue reading “Wayward yoga girl”
A Little Bit of Everything
I love good song lyrics. In some instances, a musician’s lyrics have spoken the words I needed to hear or echoed my sadness in a way that made me not feel alone…it’s poetry…but more powerful because not only do the words have meaning and feeling, but the music has feeling too. It’s a beautiful thing.Continue reading “A Little Bit of Everything”
