Bull By The Horns
When I do my Motivational Mondays, I often have other things pop-up in my different quotation feeds that I subscribe to on several different social media sites. Some of the funny ones are the ones related to my astrological sign – Taurus. You see, people have told me since I was young (upon hearing I…
It Is What It Is
I have written about a dozen blog posts about what’s going on in my life right now – and how I feel. I cannot post a single one of them. I don’t want to inadvertently hurt someone I love and care about. Even if I am hurting myself. So forgive the lack of posts….or the…
Box of Knives
While cleaning off my hard drive which had been complaining about a lack of free space, I came across this song – an Amanda Palmer song I got as a Patreon member. I had listened to it a couple of times. I liked it. But forgot until I listened again why I can’t just listen…
Solo….again
Another day – another night….. …..alone. DJ is out in the woods. G and Indigo are at a school overnight event. And I’m here with the pets. I realized earlier when I went to pick up my food that the only adults I’ve had verbal interaction with today. And honestly, that has been the standard…
Still Awake
I don’t think I’m meant to sleep anymore. I can be exhausted. I lay down in bed, snuggled amongst my pillows and teddy bear and comforter, and close my eyes. Only to have them pop wide open again. So I read. I read something I’ve read 8 million times so that I am not tempted…

Years ago, I saw this painting and fell in love with it. The colors – the vibrancy of the colors – but the subject. The kiss is definitely one of love – intimate love – a passionate one that only can come from intimacy. When I came across this image a few weeks ago, I…
Never Forget A Student
Yesterday, as I’m talking to the handlers about the owls, I made a comment G teaching at his school. One of the handlers comments “Really? You must be new because I don’t remember you. My son went there through 8th grade.” Without thinking, I responded with “oh, well, he was there. He taught 4th and 5th…
Judgement and “Leaving it to God”
“I’m leaving this to God” “God will fix this.” “I trust God to resolve it.” I don’t know how many times in the last 48hrs I have read this on my Facebook feed from a few of my friends…..or I should maybe say “friends” as they are more acquaintances than true friends. Each time these…
Information, Magic Brains, and Lessons Learned
Last week, G sent me an NPR link to a piece he heard on his way to school. It was about information overload – and how we all suffer from it – and it affects us in unexpected ways. The conclusion of the piece was that starting on 2/1, they were running a 5-day…
