A LOVE LETTER ON USA MOTHER’S DAY ‘22
HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY, EVERYBODY! YES, YOU TOO ALL YOU MENBOYS! This week, my brain opened the flood gates to memories, and I have had mind pictures flooding through my mind’s eye. Please take notice that there is NO PERFECT anything because we are all in process. That said, I have been the perfect mother andContinue reading “A LOVE LETTER ON USA MOTHER’S DAY ‘22”
POSSIBILITIES
You are what you think you are. You can do and be whatever you think you can do or you think you can be . There are no limits except the limits you think you have .

MORE RANDOM RAMBLINGS
What is on my mind this morning? A short one. Welllll, during the week I examined my friends that are no longer part of my journey at this time (because of holding a grudge), and I had certain friends not like my pursuit of positivity (because I am working with brain strokes) and I foundContinue reading “MORE RANDOM RAMBLINGS”
PAYOFFS THAT MATTER
Normal is not coming back! WHATTTTT???????? Welcome to 2022! We cannot go back to what is “normal”. It does not exist. Normal is different for each one of us. And — LIKE IT OR NOT – most of us are victims. I don’t need you to agree. BUT – Although all of us have beenContinue reading “PAYOFFS THAT MATTER”
DECEMBER PONDERINGS
This is on my mind at this beginning of December. I want to take my time when writing this piece because it is important to me. I begin by saying I am sorry for my choices. But sorry is not enough. No one ever knows the best way to be a parent. I did not. Continue reading “DECEMBER PONDERINGS”

A woman beforeContinue reading “MEET LILLIAN! – Revised!”
DOWNSIZING -26 YEARS IN THE MAKING!
Since 1993 ((age 56), I have been continually downsizing. Lots of years spent accumulating. Now, it is the other way around. I have a lot of people ask me how I am doing it because they know the big houses I have had and lots of furniture and “stuff”. Plus, I saved everything “in caseContinue reading “DOWNSIZING -26 YEARS IN THE MAKING!”

AUGUST!!
Has anyone written a song about August? At the moment, I cannot recall one. I don’t know how I feel about August. This is not new news. It has never been a month that I look forward to – like June. Or September. Or October. Or April. And, now, it causes me much angst. ItContinue reading “AUGUST!!”
