Some say Mondays are the worst. But Tuesdays? Tuesdays are sneakier. They lull you into thinking the week has begun, that you’re already mid-stream… when really, you’re still paddling in circles with coffee that isn’t quite strong enough and eyelids that are on strike. Today, I am operating […]
List 30 things that make you happy. There once was a gal in high heels,Who spun joy like spokes on her wheels.She’d scream to the skies,With no compromise,Then dance till she shattered all feels. Joy is the fire I fiercely chase,In pink my forever riotous grace.Give me magic, […]
I sit in the stillness between two livesTwo windows, two eyes to the world.One looks forward with wanderlust pulsing,The other looks back with quiet knowing. The front window, a travelogue in fabric and light,Orange curtains parted like sunrises,Framing a blue seat, a launching padThe place I dream of […]
There are a few life truths I know for certain: coffee is sacred, people will absolutely not use their blinkers, and dog kisses are both a daily ritual and a divine mandate. Let me break it down from the dog couch. A sacred, slightly chewed-up, fur-blanketed arena where […]
Lately, I’ve been on a binge. Not of chocolate-covered espresso beans (though those were involved) but of music documentaries. You know, the kind that unwrap a legend’s life like a glittery, bruised onion: layer after emotional layer, until you’re left sniffling and singing along in your bathrobe. The […]
Sometimes you read a news story and think, “Surely this is the pitch for the next Marvel movie, right?” But no! This is just Tuesday in 2025. Here’s the scoop: down in South Carolina at a former nuclear weapons site (because of course), employees discovered a radioactive wasp […]
Was today typical? Some days are so quintessentially typical they loop right back around into chaos. Yesterday was one of those. A day that screamed, “You know better!” while I marched forward like a caffeine-fueled general on a self-imposed battlefield of calendar invites and step goals. Let’s start […]
If you won two free plane tickets, where would you go? You know those dreamy icebreaker questions people love to ask at awkward team retreats? “If you had two free tickets to anywhere, where would you go?” Most people say Paris or Hawaii. Classic. Basic. Lovely, sure. But […]
This past week, I found myself building a fort. Not a metaphorical one, not an emotional one, not even one of those psychological defense mechanisms we shrinky types love to analyze. A literal, couch-based, throw-blanket-and-pillow kind of fort. Why? Because my tiny ten-pound dachshund has a back issue […]
The other day, while walking to work with coffee in hand, existential dread lightly simmering, I passed a young woman passionately lip-syncing into her phone, mid-stride, with choreography that would’ve made Paula Abdul proud. Yes, a really old reference here. And there I was, a blur in the […]
