Musings for 8/12/2018
I still struggle to share and write, and realize that I am doing as much turning away as I am leaning in. Aren’t we all just struggling to survive most days? I guess that’s the glass half empty viewpoint. I could also say how much wonderfulness there is in the world. It’s always a double-edged …

Musings (And Stuff) for 7/22/2018
I know, it’s been a long time since I’ve written. I became very depressed after I moved. I may have said that last time. And then I felt like all I was doing was whining, so everything I wanted to share, I just didn’t. There is a value in not spewing your story constantly. It …

Musings for 5/28/2018
I discovered last Friday morning, via FaceBook, that Erin’s friends apparently graduated from 8th grade on Thursday. I was not prepared for the feelings that followed, and I am a little ashamed to share them. I mean, what normal person is bitter that children are happy, healthy, and have moved on 4 years later? I …

Musings for 5/13/2018
I had not intended to write on this day. As you know, I actively avoid holiday and special occasion dates on the calendar. But I’m overdue to write and to have a friendly conversation with all of you, so here I am. The primary reason I have been silent here is due to the tremendous …

The Booger
Yeah, I know I deviated from my easy to formulate titles, but I had to today. What you see to your left is a booger. But it’s not just any booger. It’s Erin’s booger. I found it yesterday while patching the myriad of nail holes in her walls, after we took down all of her …

Musings for 3/28/2018
Still no house buyers, but I was nudged strongly to go take down Erin’s posters today, so I did. It was surreal in the sense that I was upset about it but unfeeling as I did it. I guess that was what was needed. I then launched into her stuffed animals again, and weeded many …

Musings for 3/27/2018
Good morning! I was going to launch right into speaking with you, but then remembered that I’m trying to remember to greet people first. I have a one track mind sometimes and forget there is polite conversation to be had. So good morning! Now…first thing I got up and went out to my office area, …

Musings for 3/26/2018
This has been a tough weekend for me and I think I’m finally able and ready to process (and talk about) it. I have had a lot of moving energy lately. Sometimes people don’t know what I mean by that so let me explain. Anytime that you feel emotions, it’s moving energy. Anytime that you …

Musings for 3/22/2018
Boy did I have a wonderful epiphany yesterday! And then I got fatigued, and almost decided not to share it. Such are the cycles of my life. But I digress and want to share the epiphany. I have already written about the multitude of stuff I have given away lately, or sold. It’s complicated for …

Musings for 3/18/2018
I have had so much going on I have not written in awhile. I almost wrote the other day, and I still want to impart the message I heard in my mind and heart all week last week. That message is “Show them there is another way.” There is so much in that short sentence, …
