If you follow me on social media, you may have noticed my near-absence lately. For multiple reasons, I’m just not spending as much screen time as I had been. It’s been a while since I posted anything really personal, but today, I think I want to share with you my latest love. Last year, we…

To Mask Or Not To Mask
Understanding each other is crucial to being kind and compassionate, even if we agree to disagree. No matter how strongly we feel that those with opposing viewpoints are idiots, they still have reasons they feel as they do, just as we are entitled to our own opinions and beliefs. And this is also at the…
Governor’s Orders
There was fear in his eyes as I stood before him. It was a shame really. I didn’t want to do this, but it was now ordered by the governor. To be fair, he had tried to hide the fact he had no tattoo on his forehead with a large-brimmed hat. It was only his…
Do You Speak Your Mind?
Remember in high school, when there were the popular kids and the rest? If you didn’t wear the same type of clothes, or speak the same way, or frequent the same shops and restaurants, you were an outsider, a reject, unwanted and unloved. It was social suicide to be different and speak your mind. The…
Missed Opportunities
Last night, I set my alarm for 3:45 A.M. When it went off this morning, I was disoriented and felt a bit confused. Then, I recognized the sound and got up to put the coffee on. (We still use an old stove-top percolator. It makes the BEST coffee.) And I prepared to enjoy one of…

One of my dreams for a long time was to have a hobby room of my own. I wanted a quiet place to sequester myself and write undisturbed to my heart’s content. Or a place where I could let my creative artist out without fear of distractions. My dream room had pens, notebooks, journals, art…
Dear Diary: You Gotta Be Kidding Me!
Dear Diary: It’s June 3 in what was supposed to be MY year. I started out 2020 on a positive note, thinking I was going to make serious changes to my life this year. Things were going to start working out for me and I was going to get a handle on my health issues….
Abuse? It Is NOT Abuse …
It’s not abuse. I’m just stupid. Why didn’t I know better than to make potatoes with his fish? He never eats mashed potatoes with his fish. He always has rice. Why did I try to change things and try something different? Why am I so stupid? It’s not abuse. He doesn’t beat me. He’s never…
Epsom Salt Baths Heal The Soul
Epsom salts are known for helping with joint pain. They also have other healing properties if you are an empath. It’s been a hard rough week for me. Arthritis pain has been running at a higher level than I’m prepared to deal with on a daily basis. I’ve had a ninety-minute writing seminar online every…
I Woke Up Again
Today I woke up again. I don’t mean I woke up out of bed from a night of sleep. I mean I am aware of my life again. At my age you would think that I would have a better handle on life, be more aware of all the different aspects of my life. After…
