my extreme fondness of the past,
my musings of today
and my hopes for the future.
- LockaDISCLAIMER: THIS POST CONTAINS A TON OF SAPPY, SENTIMENTAL MUSH, AND I HAD A BLAST WRITING IT! You may be wondering about the title of this post. Allow me to explain…..Locka is the name of one of my favorite dolls from childhood. I have had her for so long that I don’t remember whenContinue reading “Locka”
- Mentors & Mesh BagsShortly before my husband and I welcomed the birth of our first child, my Cousin Mindy invited us over for dinner. “You might want to bring a notepad along,” she advised. “to write down what I’m going to tell you about setting up a nursery.” Mindy’s unfiltered directness always made me smile. I wasContinue reading “Mentors & Mesh Bags”
- Get Busy Sinkin’ or Get Busy Swimmin’The start of a new year always makes me hopeful for an improvement over the previous year. For the last seven years, ever since the death of my parents, I’ve felt like my life has been (trying to putting a positive spin on it) in a “regeneration phase”. This shift in my life, wasContinue reading “Get Busy Sinkin’ or Get Busy Swimmin’”

Call me old fashioned (a great drink and an even better compliment) but I never hadContinue reading “Writing about Writing: Part I”
- BANG YOUR HEADWhile I try my best to be an upbeat, optimistic positive person……some days I fail…royally. Today is one of those days. During my Groundhog Day existence, today, August 4th, I find myself angry, frustrated and tearful about absolutely everything! So, I go on my nightly bike ride which I really didn’t feel like goingContinue reading “BANG YOUR HEAD”
- Chaos, Cliches & ChangeWelcome to my first blog post! As I write this, the elements of chaos and change are all around me and I do not like it one bit!! As for the cliches, quotes or sayings, here’s one that seems to fit both past and present circumstances, “That which does not kill us, makes usContinue reading “Chaos, Cliches & Change”
