My 13 year-old Life Goals and How I Remembered My Miracles and Hopes

Randomly routing through some old documents lurking in desktop folders and I suddenly came across my life goals list dated 2013. I suspect it’s actually from 2012 because the first goal was achieved in March 2013 when I bore us a hail Mary daughter, Fiona Marie Peach, who just turned 12 years old last week….

100 Days of Shalagh 2021 : Days 61 through 80

I am officially 80 percent complete with this year’s 100 Day Project. It started much earlier this Pandemic afflicted year and I appreciated that immensely.

My 100 Day Project ’20 : Days 26 – 50

I Can is About to Fuel the Rest of My Life

Somehow I’ve decided that there is a box I am supposed to stay within. That to venture from the box is certain death. I somehow always know that I am not allowed to imagine myself anywhere else but in the Fear Box. I am denied access to the world of possibilities outside. But I also…

Why I’m OK Teaching a Creativity Workshop

If I had a dime for every time I heard, “Oh Shalagh you are so creative”, I’d at least have five bucks. This became one of those phrases that made me twitch perhaps because I didn’t think of myself as having any kind of creative superpowers which was obvious to them but not to me,…
