Every other day I walk my dog. She demands it. It doesn’t matter what the temperature is or how tired I am, we are taking that walk.

Hello, I’d like to introduce you to my dear friend, Prozac. He and I were introduced about 13 years ago and we’ve been great friends ever since. Before Prozac, my life was pretty bleak.

He tried a few ‘get rich quick’ schemes but they never amounted to much. There were pyramid schemes, but he could never seem to rise above the lowest level, and forContinue reading “November 4, 2020 – Once upon a ‘timeshare’.”
November 3, 2020 – One person can make all of the difference (PART TWO).
Alright, where did I leave off? Oh! That’s right, I was telling you about my stepdad ‘Larry’.

Larry was all about structure (Harry) and discipline (Mo) and rules (Larry the 2nd) and he didn’t wasteContinue reading “November 3, 2020 – One person can make all of the difference (PART TWO).”
October 23, 2020 – Breathe through your mouth.
There are times in your life when it’s necessary to breathe through your mouth (BTYM). You folks with babies can probably relate to this. If you are a new parent and you haven’t yet mastered the technique, I’ll bet you’ll catch on soon!

October 20, 2020 – Book recommendations from a non-fiction enthusiast (Part Two).
Well, I hope you’ve had a chance to peruse the list I provided earlier of some of my favorite non-fiction books.

October 19, 2020 – Book recommendations from a non-fiction enthusiast (Part One).
I decided today to write about something a bit different than what I normally would. As I’ve mentioned before, I enjoy nothing more than a good (non-fiction) book and I thought it might be nice to share a few of the books I’ve read that I’ve particularly enjoyed just in case you’re a non-fiction enthusiast,Continue reading “October 19, 2020 – Book recommendations from a non-fiction enthusiast (Part One).”

Let this serve as a warning for those of you that could use some help in the ‘home improvement’ department from time to time, but don’t do your homework. Remember back in the day when your teacher told you that in order to pass the class, completing the homework was essential? Well, in this case,Continue reading “October 18, 2020 – Take it from me, don’t forget to do your homework when hiring a contractor!”

Have you ever written something profound to someone and never heard back? That’s what I’m wrestling with today. Saw my ‘shrink’ this afternoon and shared with her how I had recently written something really intense, soul-baring and powerful to someone I love dearly. I wanted them to recognize how much they mean to me andContinue reading “October 15, 2020 – Love is never wasted.”
