Love In The Time Of Turmoil
Dear Winks, This is for you. I recently witnessed a powerful example of reconciliation that truly moved me—and it’s a story worth sharing. After everything that’s happened in recent years—the anger, the division, the hurt—one of my dear friends, (we’ll call her Winks) found herself grappling with a deep sense of betrayal. She discovered that […]
Silly String Theory
Good morning all! Every morning I rise between 5-5:30, (give or take). I perform my morning ablutions, take the dogs outside, fix coffee, have a breakfast cookie, (aka, a cookie… nothing redeemable about it… just sugar, butter, flour…). Then I take my desiccated pig thyroid, (thank you for you sacrifice, pig)🐷 settle onto the couch […]
Bedeviled
I woke up this morning with big fat hairy voice inside my head saying “You’re not good enough. You’re irrelevant. You’re not interesting. You have nothing to contribute to this world. You don’t matter. Why would anyone want to spend time with a blah like you?” Those kinds of thoughts were racing through my head, […]
So Wicked!
I’ve not yet seen the Wicked movie, yet, but… I first read *Wicked* around 2000—give or take a year, maybe even earlier. I know it was well before the musical version hit Broadway. Since then, I’ve reread it at least three times. It’s goooood. Now, I absolutely adore the stage musical, too. As far as […]
Luna Bella
My daughter, Joie messaged me tonight saying how big and red the moon was. Now, you guys know that I’ve had a long lasting, never ending crush on the moon for as long as I can remember, so without even thinking about it I grabbed my camera and drove like a mad woman to Roseland […]
A Complaint
Grammer nerds; sorry not sorry… I write like I talk! A few weeks back a friend of mine said that, because of my “positivity” I’m somehow vapid and uninformed, that I turn a blind eye to what’s going on in the world. I heard from him again this weekend. First, he apologized. He, his own […]
Love never stops
When I was but a wee teenager I had a crush on an older boy who lived down the street. Of course, he didn’t return those feelings, he was… older! A whole 4 years older! I’m not going to call him out by name for his privacy, so I’ll just call him “he”. He and […]
Dragonflies, Dirt, Finger-Paint, and Pollywogs
Good morning! It’s going to be such a lovely day. I’ve been wandering in my tangle of a “garden” in my backyard, counting cucumbers and watermelons, (no pumpkins that I can see, yet) and picking fire ants off of my ankles. Most of my backyard is planted with various flowers and plants to nurture pollinators, […]
Ketamine Dreams
Ha! I’m feeling so good today, so I thought I’d sit down and do up a blog post. But now that I’m sitting here, laptop on lap, blog page open and “ADD TITLE” staring me in the face, I have no clue what to blog about! I just did my third ketamine session, and even […]
Still Fighting…
OK, just so’s ya know I’m still working on the Hello Butterfly Farm. We have a website in the works, hellobutterflyfarm.blog, but the rest of it is slow going, made all the slower by a lack of funds, (but I’m working on that, too). The first thing I have to do is get the biz […]
