Orvieto Sound Festival Weekend
There are various regular summer activities that happen around the cities, towns and villages of Italy. Umbria is no different. The main events that can be found around are music festivals. Our town of Orvieto always has the Orvieto Sound Festival. While I don’t listen to a lot of Italian music, though it would probably…

Life is…
Life is complicated and a roller coaster at times. Is it this way for everyone, or do other people have stable mental states and day-to-days? Would I want that even if I could? – Probably not. Nothing is wrong, per se. All is well physically, financially, etc. Yet, my mental state is jumbled. I’m a…

It’s Me…Not You/Them
Being independent in thinking, persona, and image can leave one (me) with a sense of loneliness, even when I am surrounded by others, most especially by those I actually like. I have always been a trend balker. If something becomes trendy, I actively go the other way to avoid being considered a follower or a…

It’s Too Hot!
This will be short. It’s too hot for me to function…. All is well, though. The ankle is healing well with plans to remove the stitches/staples next Wednesday and then life can return to a bandage-free normal. Thankfully, the temperatures are meant to drop a bit in the coming days, so hopefully I won’t have…

Third Book Out is Poetry
When I was eight-years-old, I moved in with the Bilyeus and decided I liked them enough to want to remember who they were in my life. Previous families were, and still are, a blur as nightmares or questionable realities of buried memories. So, it was then that my writing persona began. At the time, I…

Best Laid Weekend Plans….
Well, my plan to ponder this weekend turned into a mix of thwarted plans and utter laziness. My plan on Saturday was to just chill, watch a lot of sport since rugby was on and then the Euros 2024 soccer matches were scheduled for the evening. However, a friend needed a ride home from the…

Step One – Awareness
I’m back on a routine and feeling both happily productive yet somewhat lackluster in my sense of accomplishment each day. It’s not like I don’t have plenty to do or to keep me busy. Still, sometimes it does feel as if it is just busy work that I am doing to pass the time. Of…

Happy 48th To Me!
When I was younger, I really had no interest in celebrating my birthday. It seemed like an unnecessary moment of bringing attention to myself, which was something that I actively spent time on avoiding. If I was not noticed, I would not get unwanted attention from leery male eyes. If I was not noticed, I…
