In this life

Today has been long. I’ve been to University, three grocers, the hardware, the bank and a few other stops. I’ve toted bag after bag into a house smelling like bliss, but have managed to neglect to eat more than some pretzels and mustard, and still…it...

Simple Things

It’s the week of Thanksgiving. Everyone is hustling to make sure their feast with family and friends is perfect. They’re laying out the game plan for hitting the best sales. Perfection seems to be the goal. The perfect holiday. The perfect family...

When you grab the bull…

((Firstly, MONSTER shout out to Damaged Goods for the photo)) Today’s post is a bit of a rant, and a bit of ‘business plan 101.’ Those of you who know me, ought to be aware that I will err on the side of professional, caution, and calm. I may be...

It's the little things….

I have made a new discovery about myself since I’ve started writing regularly. I NEED to write, apparently, every day. When I’m at work and I don’t bring my notebook or flash drive, I end up mentally rearranging, rephrasing or rewording lines I’ve already written. I’m...
