Let me be perfectly clear, right off the bat. I DESPISE Trump. I LOATHE him. I think he lacks the competency to tie his own shoes. I do not understand how he is able to dress himself on a daily basis. However, that being said. I think he had to win the election in NovemberContinue reading “A Revelation? A Revolution?”

I Was Told NO.
Indulge me, if you will, for just a moment. My whole life changed when I was seven years old. My particular trauma? My Dad left us. This was not an everyday occurrence in the early 80’s. In fact – we were the exception. I was the outcast at school. I was an original latchkey kid.Continue reading “I Was Told NO.”
2024
New Year’s Day. It’s charged for me. Possibilities. Energy. A fresh start and a clean slate. How can you not love that? I’ve closed my book on 2023. It was up and down. Lessons learned and opportunities snatched up. I lost my sister. I lost a beloved pet. I walked away from my remaining immediate family member. I’m still physically stressedContinue reading “2024”
Not Dealing
I’ve had a really rough week and I’m not dealing with it very well, at all. My sister passed away last February. I reached out to her best friend and sisters-in-law to see if they wanted to get together for dinner. I guess it hit me harder than I thought. The best friend brought her mother ~ someoneContinue reading “Not Dealing”
Back to School, Again.
So here I go. Back to school, again, at fifty. I love to learn. I love to keep my mind active, and trying new things is always a good idea – unless you’re talking about skydiving. This opportunity arose through work. They are paying my tuition for a University course. I will take as manyContinue reading “Back to School, Again.”
Knots
My new job is literally making me sick to my stomach. I like the company. I like my colleagues. I absolutely love working from home. But I don’t feel as if I know enough to help my clients to the best of my ability. My old role was in a toxic (to me) environment, butContinue reading “Knots”
Self Doubt is Not Good for My Stomach
For 18 and a half years, I was confident in my job and my skills. I could answer questions all day long about policies, procedures and the products that we carried (in a retail field). Then I reached my breaking point and decided to change careers. Everything is new, except the customer service aspect. I’mContinue reading “Self Doubt is Not Good for My Stomach”
How Is It?
How is it that my life seems to be coming together and the rest of the world seems to be falling apart? I’ve retreated from the world at large while I’ve been focusing on balancing my life – with a new job that I love, my own personal growth, and trying to stand in myContinue reading “How Is It?”
It’s Here.
This is the time of year that my descent into Hell begins. Bitterly cold, grey, dark days. Even though I know intellectually that the Solstice has passed and the days are, in fact, getting longer, I feel trapped in the darkness. The endless pull of overcast skies. The bone-chilling deep freeze that keeps me inContinue reading “It’s Here.”
Odd Man Out
I feel alienated. Do you ever feel that way? Like you are an afterthought and not the primary choice? Even in a group where I know that I am loved; I feel like I’m the odd man out. Ignored. This is one of the reasons that I tend to retreat. I feel irrelevant. Is itContinue reading “Odd Man Out”
