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…”

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”

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”

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?”
