Give it a rest

I will try my best to keep this short and sweet. I am running out of time because I have been searching several books to find a quote I wanted use in this post. I wasted way too much time on this before it occurred to me to ask the Google Machine :). Before theContinueContinue reading “Give it a rest”

Fragmented

I may have mentioned this a few hundred times in previous blogs, but occasionally I get sidetracked and start writing for the wrong reasons. I start writing because I feel like I should or “have to” so people keep reading, I don’t lose traction or risk being forgotten as a writer altogether. I sometimes writeContinueContinue reading “Fragmented”

Hurried and Harried Heather

Call me simple. Or mystical. Or just naïve and superstitious. Call me what you want, but regardless, this is how it works. This is how I know what I am supposed to write about—dare I say-what I believe God wants me to write about. I read a smorgasbord of books every day. Usually a pageContinueContinue reading “Hurried and Harried Heather”

P.O.P.D. (Perfect Ornament Placement Disorder)

P.O.P.D. In case you missed my social media post, these initials represent a very serious, potentially debilitating, often contagious, disease that effects thousands annually: Perfect Ornament Placement Disorder. Over the years, much of the extreme cases have been lessened due to an inordinate amount of people turning to pre-lit and permanently decorated (fake) trees. CouldContinueContinue reading “P.O.P.D.

The concept of mental “woolgathering” typically refers to a mind given to daydreaming or idle/fanciful thinking. NothingContinueContinue reading “Mental “Woolgathering””

Tangled

This is not one of my favorite memories, but it certainly is one of my most vivid. When I went in to the hospital with Leukemia, to say I had a lot of hair would be an understatement. I had an enormous amount of long, blond hair. Most of the time I kept it onContinueContinue reading “Tangled”

“Serenity Now!”-Kramer

Deep breath. Deep breath. Deep breath. I have 2 other blog ideas that I was debating between this morning. I have been stockpiling them from personal experiences over the past week. I had foot surgery last week. My wonderful mom was here to drive me around, but when you have company, things just seem toContinueContinue reading ““Serenity Now!”-Kramer”

Soaked

OK, So…I have written about 146 blogs since this Leukemia nonsense began. When I was in the hospital or just sitting around my house recovering from chemo and preparing for the next round, I had blog ideas rolling through my head at all times. I couldn’t write fast enough to get them all out ofContinueContinue reading “Soaked”
