Midway through the 2024 holiday madness, too soon on the tails of Turkeysgiving, I want to pause and give thanks to all of you who have contributed to this writing journey of mine. To those who supported me in my beginnings, even if you’re dead now or no longer my friend, thank you. To my…
Whether I like it or not, I’m The Event Planner for the holidays. I need to make myself happy to be able to make anyone else happy.
The phrase “holidays” is a trauma trigger for me. Spend this many years on life’s holiday production staff and shit will happen.

In the end, we have to make it Okay somehow to ask for support. Ask for anyone to do anything for us because we ask too much of ourselves.
How do I restart a project I paused 7 months ago? I’d recommend a running start for momentum so I can finish my project and sail on beyond. There’s so much of me that cherishes the esteem I get from these challenge accomplishments. And sometimes life interrupts your best plans. In this case, I was…
