An Okinawan Holiday
The downside of going back to work and working for a business rather than an academic institution is that vacation days are limited. Add to that other life challenges, makes for a bit of a difficulty in taking summer holidays. However, I’m not at all complaining as life is a far cry (positively) from what…

Online Presence
In the three months or so that I did not have my blog outlet I was just using Facebook and, mostly, Instagram to share what’s been going on in my life when my mood suited. At the same time, I gradually broke my habit/semi-addiction to social media, which has resulted in a decrease in how…

Phew!
It’s been a busy period lately between work and enjoying a visit by our friends. So, I’ve barely had time to think let alone post, but we do have some time coming up where I might find a way to reflect and refresh. Therefore, posts are coming – I promise. 😀 ~T 😀

Remaking Habits
Well I keep telling myself that I am going to get back to posting, but it takes more than self-talk to reform a habit – especially one that may not have necessarily caught on fully before it got broken. 😉 So, I thought I’d at least write a short post now since the mere act…

My Choice, My Life
There is a delicate balance between just enough angst to stimulate creativity and maintaining the joy of contentment. When I think that I have achieved this balance, there is a sense of wariness and unease as to when it might all go off the rocker. I blame this on PTSD rather than skepticism or pessimism.…

Consumed
It’s been a busy and a little positively chaotic couple of weeks. Work has changed a bit for me, which has led to some stirring of the status quo in and out of the office. While the PTSD side of me is a bit skeptical of the current fortunes poured upon me, I am working…

Soylent Green?
There are, and have been, moments in my life when a thought comes to me like a vision rather than just a passing idea. When they hit me, and I mean it almost figuratively, it takes some processing to accept it as something meaningful and not just another sign of my “crazy”. The first time…

Creative Storm
For the first time in quite a while, I have been motivated and engrossed in the world of writing. When I think about what I want to do with my life other than pickle my liver with red wine and maintain a yoga body on baguette and cheese in the warmth of southern France with…
