It seems like every time I turn around I am hearing someone talk about making a gratitude list. I think it’s a great idea, but as I have admitted in the past, I have had a mental block about how to create one in a way that actually helps me access the “feels” that comeContinue reading “The gratitude hierarchy”

Interval training
I have a challenge for you. Or maybe it’s better to say that I invite you to join me in a challenge. Lately I have been thinking about the principle of interval training and how it relates to so much more than exercise.

Watch YourSelf(ie)
I recently purchased a new piece of jewelry. It’s so cool! It wraps around my wrist, looks pretty cute and does the most amazing thing: it tells me what time it is. And that’s all it tells me. It doesn’t tell me when someone calls, that someone needs to see a house, what the weatherContinue reading “Watch YourSelf(ie)”

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 writeContinue reading “Fragmented”

I Wanna Be a Hosta!

I took approximately 3 showers yesterday just from doing regular life stuff.Continue reading “I Wanna Be a Hosta!”
