Hey Ya’ll! Welcome to new and old readers! Just in case you’re new, in the past few years, I have been working on myself physically and mentally. This blog has become where I write about more personal insights that don’t come up in my novels or poetry. For those who are waiting for new creative…
Slow Motion
I started doing tai chi in November 2024. The first thing I was told was that I needed to take things slow. Tai chi was not about being quicker or faster than everyone else. It was about taking things slow, measured, and controlled. You must have body-mind alignment and intention when you move. All parts…
COVID: My Rebirth
This week, the IMO podcast interviewed comedian, David Chappelle, who said a quote that shook me to my core. He said, “In COVID, we were trapped in our choices.” He didn’t really elaborate on the statement (or I might have been too stunned to have heard the rest of it, LOL). I never felt so…
Happiness is OK!
This Thursday during one of his homilies, Archbishop Hicks of New York said something that jarred me – “It’s okay to be happy.” My pastor had said the something similar to me on Wednesday but in a different context. I had a feeling God wanted me to think about this subject a little more. I…
Jesus: Love and Repentance
In my twenties, I thought I was bisexual, not because I felt any real attraction to women, but because beautiful women would proposition me. My straight male friends said stupid, immature things out of jealousy. I was too young and dumb to realize that fact. Their accusations made me question my own sexuality. I always…
Modern Love
This summer, I turn 55. Looking at my life, one would think I am going to die a single old woman with a house full of cats. Honestly, my response is – don’t threaten me with a good time. It’s not that I want to live without companionship. I did all the dating apps -…
The A.I. Prophecies Fulfilled?
A.I. has been more in the news as we become more and more dependent on it to streamline and simplify our world. It is also used to lower operating/production costs from small to big businesses, with the unfortunate effect of cutting jobs for the lowly clerical staff, as well as the artistic creatives in all…
Confidence
A few weeks ago, I wrote a blog dealing with my conflict over whether to remove my excess skin or love it. I had decided not to pursue any more elective surgery in pursuit of society’s idea of the perfect body. My mistake was to tell my female medical team this. All of the women…
Streaming? No Thanks!
Happy Easter! I am about to show my age in this post. Que the classic rock on muzak now: I have had cable off and on since it became a thing in the 1980’s. My family was the one who had the cable service that featured on three channels (not including the three major networks).…
A Tale of Two Books
Once upon a time, there were two types of paperback books – trade and mass market… I’m bringing up books today because the news is reporting on the end of mass market paperback book production, like it’s earth-shattering news. However, mass market books have been on borrowed time for many years, especially in my house.…
