Those of you who know me or have followed me on Jayspeak know that I have lived a life of relative abundance. And “things” mattered, and I had a lot of “stuff”. I had saved everything in case I MIGHT NEED IT OR WANT IT SOMEDAY. I made sure that I provided for my childrenContinue reading “SOME THOUGHTS FOR AUGUST 2021”

PARIS UPDATE
This has been a wonderful week of catchup for me with lots of ups and downs. No comment. And now I am asking you to sit in the dark with me in case we are either one having difficulty seeing the bright side. Something or other triggers that recurring doom-and-gloom and then I have toContinue reading “PARIS UPDATE”
SOME RANDOM THOUGHTS AND NO MEMES FOR THE END OF JUNE 2021
WHAT IS ON MY MIND? Paris and Moi. Yes, Paris is opening up and it is fun with all of the activities, and I plan to do what I want to and can. I have a lot of energy and desire and like the organizations of AAWE and WICE. They have activities that look funContinue reading “SOME RANDOM THOUGHTS AND NO MEMES FOR THE END OF JUNE 2021”
JUST FOR FUN – NO COMMENT COMMENTARY
Today is June 20, 2021, Father’s Day, the longest day of the year, and the beginning of Cancer (my rising sign), so I am a happy camper. First of all, a SHOUT OUT to my two sons, Craig and Blake, for being good fathers in spite of their lack of training or a good exampleContinue reading “JUST FOR FUN – NO COMMENT COMMENTARY”
ON MY MIND DURING THE WEEK BEFORE THANKSGIVING…..
On my mind today during this week before Thanksgiving, in a country that doesn’t have Thanksgiving, I have a lot to be thankful for. What? This is not a post of thanks. It is about other things. What? WELLLLLL, I have decided that doctors only know so much. I KNOW that attorneys only know soContinue reading “ON MY MIND DURING THE WEEK BEFORE THANKSGIVING…..”
NO COMMENT! Dedicated to Missy RIP
Missy died last night while I was asleep. I awoke during the middle of the night to find her dead. It was a terrible experience. She was probably sick at the time I bought her. Who knew? We had five wonderful years together. We were bonded – at least I was – from the beginning.Continue reading “NO COMMENT! Dedicated to Missy RIP”
PARIS – “HUNKERING DOWN !
What a glorious September morning in Paris! I am sitting here in my new apartment in the 16th Arrondissement of Paris, aware that I feel good and am hunkering down. I just had a small breakfast and coffee on the balcony and remembered that I need to start a blog for this weekend. Actually, thatContinue reading “PARIS – “HUNKERING DOWN !”
ON MY MIND THIS MORNING (August 15, 2020)…..
“Without freedom, you have nothing left.” (from Hong Kong.) I quit! “This year, “character is on the ballot.” I agree. “No one sees us. It is like we don’t exist.” (from Belarus). Bottom line, I have reached overload. MY being “emotionally vested” has reached a saturation point. Sorta. But, I cannot love, care, and beContinue reading “ON MY MIND THIS MORNING (August 15, 2020)…..”
STARTING OVER…….AGAIN……….
I am starting over. Today is August 2, 2020, and it is a new day for me. Why? OK, here goes…. Some of this is repetitive to those who “follow” Jayspeak. But, a lot of it is not. That said, during July, I had a bunch of tests plus an MRI to find out whyContinue reading “STARTING OVER…….AGAIN……….”
THE PIANO
When I was a young girl, I took a lot of lessons – speech, voice, piano, baton twirling, dance (ballet, tap, jazz), swimming, diving, tennis. And I was in a lot of recitals and loved being a “show-off”. I was good at most of them. Actually, I was good at a lot of things (especiallyContinue reading “THE PIANO”
