My friends, it’s a good thing I was sitting down when I called the local dry cleaner to find out 1) whether my curtain panels were ready, and 2) what the total cost was for the service. Holy smokes! “$39.06,” answered the gal who took the call, to which I incredulously replied, “$39.06, for twoContinue reading “February 11, 2021 – No muss, no fuss.”

February 10, 2021 – Wily Fox
Have you ever considered what key ingredients you would include if you had to write out a recipe for a successful relationship? If I were to do so, the main ingredient would be ‘trust’. I’d also throw in common interests, loyalty and mutual respect, but without ‘trust’, the whole thing’s going to fall apart atContinue reading “February 10, 2021 – Wily Fox”
February 9, 2021 – Memory Loss
Have you ever thought about how much our brains are like toilets? Hang on, hang on. Don’t give up on me so easily, I think I have a valid point. What I’m trying to say is, just like a toilet, you fill up your brain with a bunch of ‘crap’, and then with one quickContinue reading “February 9, 2021 – Memory Loss”
February 7, 2021 – Conditional Love
If you’ve ever had a child, there’s a good chance that you’ll be able to relate to what I am going to discuss today. As a parent, you are supposed to love your children unconditionally. If you don’t, you are a ‘bad person’. You are expected to be ‘superhuman’ and love them through all ofContinue reading “February 7, 2021 – Conditional Love”
February 5, 2021 – The Inevitable
If you’re anything like me, the last thing you want to become is your mother. I have spent a great deal of time intentionally doing things differently so that no one ever accuses me of being ‘just like her’. I know that sounds kind of crappy but I am just trying to keep things real.Continue reading “February 5, 2021 – The Inevitable”
February 4, 2021 – Finding Your Tribe
People weren’t designed to be isolated. We need other people, now more than ever. Without others, it’s easy to withdraw into ourselves and close ourselves off from the world. We need others for support and assurance but also to keep us ‘in check’. If we don’t have a person (or people) to do that, it’sContinue reading “February 4, 2021 – Finding Your Tribe”
February 3, 2021 – Expectations
How would we humans function if we didn’t have expectations? It seems the moment we take our first breath, we at least have a few. There may not be many but on the most basic level, I think we all expect to at least be fed and nurtured. And as we grow, the list ofContinue reading “February 3, 2021 – Expectations”
February 2, 2021 – Potluck Wedding
I’m going to take a stroll down memory lane today and share a bit about my wedding. It took place on a warm summer’s day in June (34 years ago) and came together on a shoestring budget. Many brides-to-be spare no expense for the big day but I’m a practical gal, so whenever there wasContinue reading “February 2, 2021 – Potluck Wedding”
February 1, 2021 – Scapegoat
Throw me under the bus, I don’t care. I’ve been blamed enough for stuff that I didn’t do throughout my life that when it happens now, I barely bat an eyelash. Now, that’s not to say I haven’t had a role in getting myself into predicaments (because of my big mouth) or that I haven’tContinue reading “February 1, 2021 – Scapegoat”
January 31, 2021 – The Middle Finger
I don’t know about you, but I’m about as comfortable using the middle finger as I am saying aloud the expression that it represents. You might find me using hand gestures, but they’re more along the lines of rabbit ears (when posing in a photo), the peace sign, making a circular motion next to myContinue reading “January 31, 2021 – The Middle Finger”
