So, pain has kept me away…

.Reading time 2 minutes.

So, as I have mentioned, 2020 and 2021 were insanely hard for me. Many can relate. I have forever changed as a person as a result. Many of us have, no matter what we thought or believed during lockdowns, it affected us all. In ways both good and bad. I miss who I used to […]

So, what I love about the writing community is…

.Reading time 4 minutes.

So, what I like the most about writers is their support and loyalty. I have quit more times than I can count over the last 10 years of blogging and people are still patient. They still follow and keep in touch and communicate. It means a whole heck of a lot to this single mom […]

So, is blogging to help yourself or others or to create?

.Reading time 3 minutes.

So, why do we blog? For self healing? To help others become better versions of themselves through our advice/commentary? Or to assuage our need to be/feel important?

So, Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris…inspiring, not a strong enough descriptor

.Reading time 4 minutes.

So, I took myself to see “Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris”, on Sunday at 9:55 a.m. The 7 dollars I paid for the early bird show was beyond a steal. Several minutes into the plot, I began to feel myself transported into her life, her lack, her dreams. I saw parallels in this character; doing […]

So, I disappeared but started a podcast…

.Reading time 1 minute.

So, I have been gone. Fighting the power to get schools open, trying not not be depressed and lifting up my child all at the same time. I am going to get back with it. In the meantime, I started a podcast! Tonight! Please check me out. Be kind. It was hard for me! Thanks […]

So, I fought for my mom and now for my kid…

.Reading time 4 minutes.

So, where we live, it is close to 365 days since our kids have been to school. It is hard to believe that in our country, kids are being held inside their homes when government agencies and medical professionals have clearly stated that schools are safer places to be. People are actually arguing despite teen […]
