My vibe for this year is so different. I think part of it has to do with already knowing the direction I'm heading in, and knowing I can rock it. I only left a little, "up in the air". The rest is falling into place, as it's supposed to, because I did a lot of … Continue reading Day One

Today, #Covid19 claimed the life of a family friend. His crime? Being told it was safe to have surgery, so that he could get back to being the healthy, active person he was. 😡 They are NOT preserving a life if Covid is part of the diagnosis, and it's important for people to know this. … Continue reading The Eerie Stillness of Bad News

I've kept an extremely low profile the past few days. For starters, I am still fighting off an infection. It's draining me terribly. My brain understood I really needed to shovel snow yesterday, but my body sent me back to bed because I couldn't keep my head up or my eyes open. I was battling … Continue reading The Dark Days

I apologize for not being able to write this weekend, as intended. I've been suffering a few weeks now, not knowing exactly what was wrong. I hadn't been exposed to anyone, so I was more in the mindset that maybe my migraine treatment was not working, which can happen. It's not an exact science and … Continue reading Ultimate Guide To Letting Go…

Hello, everyone. It's been a minute, and the reality is, I've been sick for over a month. 😦 I haven't had any real energy, and I've struggled with not getting enough sleep and then getting too much sleep, if too much sleep is actually a real thing. <Sigh> According to my body, it isn't. Fighting … Continue reading Pre-Thanksgiving Jitters

I'm not overly superstitious, but today was a bit much for me. I woke up with an arm injury (I am typing with my left hand. Perhaps it's a good thing I trained myself to use it in all situations, in case I ever had a stroke.) that is painful. I'm not sure how it … Continue reading Friday the 13th

Everyone I spoke to this week, save two or three people, brought up today's election. I am trying to be positive, yet realistic.

Hello, everyone. Nothing major to report. I should be okay-ish in about 2-4 weeks. I had a minor in-office procedure done this afternoon and practically ran out of the building screaming because, sick people. If you're sick, please stay home. Running to a hospital attached medical building might not be the smartest decision. I was … Continue reading Checking In Post-Procedure

I have taken the ads down. When I was trying to post my views on the shooting in Philly, due to the ads, I was not allowed to use the words, "Police Shooting of a Black man", "Murder", etc. That's NOT okay, because that's exactly what happened. I am uncensored and unedited by others, so … Continue reading Full Disclosure
