Easing into it

Life has been pretty heavy this past week and some change. So much so, that I’d had to pull back into complete self-care mode. I’d missed a couple of post here – which is pretty rare, and I hadn’t been doing much in the way of writing. This made the part of me that demands …

What a Mess

I can’t even remember what it was that I was originally going to post about this week. The events of the past few days have driven it from my head, and filled that space near to bursting. I don’t have the spoons for anything more than that. Thanks for reading. Be safe out there. Be Excellent …

The Pace of Life

I have Achilles tendinitis. This is of course my amateur opinion, but I’ve had it before and this is exactly what it feels like, so I’m backing myself on this call. I know I’ve said this before, but one of the things that the Universe apparently needs to remind me of, on occasion, is that …

What am I Doing with My Time?

As is so often the case, a single thought will kick off an entire blog post. I asked myself the above question some few days ago just before shutting down Twitter. Not quite in disgust, but distaste. I was just scrolling, doing nothing and generally feeling more and more “Eww” as I went along. That …

Short and Sweet

Happy Sunday (or whenever you’re reading this) Friends. This week’s post needs to be a short one. Not because I’m under any kind of Time constraint, though. It’s just that there’s a beautiful day outside my window and I need to step away from the world for a while and, go out into it. So …

Pruning

Pruning: The practice entails the targeted removal of diseased, damaged, dead, non-productive, structurally unsound, or otherwise unwanted plant material from crop and landscape plants. There are two primary times of the year where I turn an introspective eye on my life. I acknowledge that I should probably do this more often than twice a year, but those two times are the turn of …

Putting It Out There

“Today is going to be a good day.” I said this out loud the other day. I was in my car, so I was still alone, but I felt a little silly saying it out loud just the same. Why silly, you may ask? I’m still trying to unpack that, but I think that it’s …

The Many Faces of May (1st)

Today is the First of May. This means different things to different people. For some, May 1st is the beginning of Spring. For others, It holds a much deeper meaning in the form of Beltane. Still others, don’t see it as anything other than an ordinary day. This isn’t to put one viewpoint over another, …

Not All Writing is Writing

Happy SUNday readers! That above line may look like it’s got a typo in it, but it’s intentional. Today was super nice out and, after a winter that seemed to last forever, I couldn’t help but spend most of it outside – hence this late-in-the-day post. And I don’t feel guilty (or, I’m trying not …

Take Your Shot.

Happy Sunday (Or whenever you happen to be reading this) Readers. I’d like to start off today’s post with a Quote: You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.” It was Wayne Gretzky who said that. Now it may be that you’ve heard this before. It’s certainly not the first time I’ve heard it. …
