My Now Normal and What’s to Come

I’m perhaps a little stunned that this year is feeling so much more normal. The flower garden is growing and asking me for the attention that usually overwhelms me as we head into May, the super busy month. I’d like to have gotten more done before the heat wave hit but I’m hoping for some…

Ruminating on the Wrongs in My Life

Searching for that indisputable unshakeable truth that l am the shit verses I am shit. I have been paying attention to the very wrongest things. So easy to stay in the judgment pit and ruminate on the wrongs in my life, my house, and my body especially. Caught up in what’s wrong with me, there’s…

Emerging from the New Year’s Lull

I am considering how to emerge from the “Lull”. I’ve been working on so much behind the scenes and in my head. Caught up in the doing and not the showing and telling.

What Low Self-Worth and Capitalism are Causing You to Do

We live in a society where lack of self-worth has become an epidemic. Low self-esteem is the new black.
