On the Edge…
The other day, I messaged with a writing adoptee friend as part of our regular check-ins with each other. She replied back that my list of goals and activities for the next two weeks made her exhausted reading it, to which I laughed. For me, it didn’t feel like much. When one lives with a…

Poor Men? Or, Go Ladies?!
I feel as if I have written about this topic before, but it has come up again and so I shall comment on it based on recent conversations with friends and M. It started with the recent news of a celebrity figure announcing his split from his wife with whom he had been married for…

Bringing Light and Leaving the Dark
There are few things that trigger my negative psyche these days.

Introspection is a daily habit rather than a passing whim for me. So,…

Reflections: Week of Reflections 2
If reading my blog posts hasn’t taught you anything else about me, I hope that it has been abundantly clear that I LOVE a plan 💜. Part of my planning process is – appreciating – what has worked and what has not. Over a two-year-period, I used a bullet journal 📖 style of organizing, tracking,…

Reflections: Making Life Meaningful
Relationships always have ups and downs, whether romantic or platonic. I value my relationships as treasures and gifts that can never be replaced, because – well – they can’t. Whether or not one believes in God or a higher being, it shouldn’t be a stretch of the imagination nor acceptance to acknowledge that people come…
