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 womenContinue reading “Confidence”

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).Continue reading “Streaming? No Thanks!”
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.Continue reading “A Tale of Two Books”
Welcome to the Humility Corner!
Hello everyone! I’m your host, Peace. Hopefully, this will not be a reoccurring feature of Sparrow’s Playground. Today’s lesson is about the adolescent adult behaving badly, LOL! One of my new mottos is “I don’t have to be wrong for you to be right.” I heard the quote a long time ago from the RabbiContinue reading “Welcome to the Humility Corner!”
Soul Surgery
In February, one of the podcasters I was listening to said, “You can’t heal without having the conversations. In 2025, I started having difficult conversations with myself about my opinions of myself, my relationships, and the stories I told myself, in the past and presently. I know I can’t rewrite my past. What is doneContinue reading “Soul Surgery”
Wake up!
On this last week of Black History Month, I thought I would discuss the idea of prejudice and stereotypes and how one combats them. I know some people say they are not prejudiced and/or do not hold any stereotypical ideas, and they would consider themselves to be “woke.” At one time, I would have consideredContinue reading “Wake up!”
Movies vs. Reality
My two favorite rom-coms were “The Mirror Has Two Faces” and “The Truth About Cats and Dogs.” Both have similar themes – a frumpy girl falls in love with an attractive man, and after a comedy of errors and mixed signals, the man realizes he is in love with the frumpy girl, and they liveContinue reading “Movies vs. Reality”
Pain and Suffering
In looking at the many quotes I have written down these past 6 months, I have decided to write about the one on pain and suffering – “Pain is eventual; suffering is optional.” I’m not going to lie, when I look back on my life, I remember all the times I was hurt and inContinue reading “Pain and Suffering”
Podcast Queen
Hello everyone! As part of my Adulting 101 education, I have been watching self-help, diet & fitness, inspirational, and comedy podcasts. One quote I heard during a podcast has created a lot of reflection. The podcaster said, “You’re not living life; you’re living the story of your life.” Basically he was saying that your lifeContinue reading “Podcast Queen”
Adulting 101
As you can see from my new homepage, for the past year I’ve been working on a poetry book which I am excited to share to my loyal followers. However, I am having issues with the link. Since it is published, I decided to let you know it is available. A link is coming! InContinue reading “Adulting 101”
