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. …

Rest and Reset

Happy Sunday Readers! This is going to be a quick one because there’s still stuff I want to get done before I run out of weekend, and “Relax” covers most of the real estate on the list. So gather round the fire, and hark ye well. Phrases like “Take Care of yourself” and “I don’t …
