A Glimpse Into The Kink Party….

The music filled the space.  Some people were moving with it – others were moving to the music within.  Interspersed amongst the music, you heard laughter and conversation and moans and screams.   It seemed to just add to the music – it was almost part of the music. Unlike other events, I had lots…

Fraud, Cleaning & Art

Over the last few months, I haven’t taken as many photos as I would have liked. Life keeps getting in the way, and inspiration is lacking.  Just seems like it is one thing or another these days. Yesterday, I spent 3 hours in the rain taking rugby photos.  When I say “in the rain”, I…

Legacy

One of the final books I read for my leadership class is about a leader’s legacy.  The authors have been doing leadership training and seminars for quite a while when they were challenged to write a book summarizing all of their lessons learned during their time as trainers and as leaders.  This resulting book about…

Music Friday!

I could have done a Friday the 13th post, but honestly, Friday the 13th days are pretty good for me.  I view them as lucky – not bad.  So, let’s celebrate with some music! (https://youtu.be/MH9FyLsfDzw) — There is something awesome about this! (https://youtu.be/-xKM3mGt2pE) I guess Norway is a good place for music.  The first video…

Jaywalkers and Flivverboobs

Ah, the things you can learn. About 100 years ago (1917), drivers decided to use shame to discourage pedestrians from crossing in odd places across traffic and invented a name (and campaign) against Jaywalkers. “Jay” back then was slang for “idiot”. Pedestrians tried to strike back by creating a team for careless drivers. After a…

Media Literacy

Another day, another link to an article someone is using as “source” for their argument only to discover it was not the source they were looking for. This one surprised me because it was someone who is usually savvy.  This is someone who has an advanced degree too which usually means publishing papers citing legitimate…

Soundtrack of my day…

(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X8UR2TFUp8w) It started with a mission to find something, It ended with this song going through my head – a double meaning that I even shook my head at. Tonight has been self-care. Or an attempt at it. Two steps forward, one step back.

Random Wednesday Brain Dump and Things….

I have to go into the gallery this morning and move two pieces of art.  The owner wants them swapped.  That would normally be no big deal but one piece is hanged landscape while the other is portrait.  The frames are different sizes too.  This means, I get to swap them and then move all…

When Will I Learn?

I think I need this tattoo’d to my forehead.. Why am I surprised? Why am I surprised when I try to believe what someone says when they show me something different? Sigh. This has been a week of too many feels – too many tears – too much…. I came across this today – and felt…

Test

I hate the JetPack upgrade. It made everything stop working. No emails going out. No posting to social media sites. I guess this problem has been going on for the past four days or more.  I hate it when things that work without issue break. Their support forum has at least 8 posts in it over…
