I took a step toward bettering my health at the end of January by joining a gym, complete with sessions with a personal trainer. Part of this was fueled by wanting to move my body and get in better shape, and part was because I didn’t know where to start. Especially taking into consideration some […]
Ramblings
Let’s Go Shopping!
I may or may not have a shopping habit. My closets (yes, multiple) are definitely filled with more than any one person needs. However, there are several parts of my life that require a different wardrobe. I wouldn’t speak on professional stages in the same outfit I’d ride my motorcycles in, go to a concert […]
Life Changes (Part Two)
A few weeks ago I shared about some losses I’ve experienced in my life due to the natural cycle of life (and death). Today I’m going to share about other losses outside of death. For example, friendships coming to an end, family members not speaking, old jobs, or other situations. Basically, the changes in life. […]
Float or Flop?
I went to the pool with a couple of friends and their children a couple weeks ago. It was a relaxing day of iced coffee, great conversation, tons of laughs, and a full dose of fun in the sun. The kids were pleasantly surprised when I climbed the stairs to go down the waterslide with […]
Dating…Or Nah?
I’ve openly shared some of my relationship woes, and even more of my almost or would-be relationship woes. The dating pool is definitely a lot different in my forties than it was in my late teens, or even early thirties. Or, maybe it really isn’t different at all, I just see past some of the […]

Music to My Ears
One of the great ironies of my existence is my love for music and absolute lack of musical abilities. I sang in the church choir when I was younger, but never had a solo. It’s just not one of my talents. Like, I’m not even “okay” at it. Trust me, it’s really, really bad. I […]
Mic Check
In February of 2021 I accidentally became a speaker. I say it that way because I had absolutely no conscious plan or desire to do so. I was perfectly happy working behind the scenes, in the back of the room, letting others take the microphone and spotlight. I attended an event to support a friend. […]
