• From Isolation to Empowerment: A Call for Women’s Unity

    I have a delightful friend Christina who not only is an amazing individual, she is a very talented, gifted writer, who is the voice of reason, an amazing sense of support and somebody that you always want in your corner. She’s an amazing advocate and ally. I just love her. She wrote the following below […]

  • I’m Getting Older & I Hate It

    Ah, the joys of aging – a roller coaster ride where the only direction is down, and the safety bar is held together with creaky joints and forgotten glasses. Let’s take a humorous stroll through my timeline of decay, shall we? In my 20s, I was too dumb to think about mortality. Why worry about […]

  • Anxiety: my own personal dragon

    Anxiety is like that one annoying relative who just won’t leave my side. Mom claims I was a high-maintenance kid from the womb – go figure. My first childhood memory?

  • Life in the PNW: My Connection to Home

    I’m used to it. It’s truly all I know. It’s just a cycle that’s normal- at least for me. Spring is wet. Summer is wet and glorious. Fall is glorious and wet – in that order. Winter is normally wet and cold – rain filled, sometimes with snow, and ice. Fog, and gloom. And as […]

  • About me…

    …I am not entirely sure what this is going to be about. We reinvent ourselves do we not? Am I reinventing myself? Or am I rediscovering who I am? Am I finally becoming honest with myself about life, experiences, and how I process the world? Is it too late to start over? Do I even […]

  • Still Trying To Figure This All Out…

    They tell me WordPress is easy. I think they are lying. Or I am really really old.
