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…

Reminders to Self

Reboot Detox 2023
Every now and then, I try to do a fasting lemon water detox. The longest I have done is ten days of just lemon water throughout the day and no food with the exception of a smoothie at the end of the day when my brain thinks it wants food. The shortest I have done…

Bonjour de France! 🇫🇷
We are officially on our summer holidays! ☀️🎉 Although, to be fair, it doesn’t look or feel that much different from our regular days since neither of us “work” all day long. Plus, M is always “working”, so even when on holiday he is messaging, fielding calls, etc. Still, the environment has changed and we…

Good and Busy Days
Whenever I try to think back to the days and what I have done or what I do, I find that it is somewhat hard to recollect. 🤔 I am not sure if it is brain fog 🤯, lack of focus/clarity 😒, or busyness, or the opposite. In any case, these days have been good.…

Doggy Update
As I’m working on some other writing things at the moment, I thought I’d finish off the week with a little update on the pups! 🐶❤️🐶❤️ Peanut 🐶💜 So, Pea(nut) is doing alright. She’s not quite the same as before her viper bite, but she’s running around fine. Some notable changes in her, though, are…
