Did you have a good laugh at my expense reading the last line of my prior post? It’s okay. I laughed a little while writing it. I mean, we know I spend a lot of time in my own head. Right? An extraordinary amount of time, really. So, it’s best that I clarify. Yes, I… Continue reading Big and Little Falls.

I wish I could tell you that yesterday’s story was a piece of pure fiction. I wish I could tell you that I have a vivid imagination and I was able to imagine that kind of pain and terror. I mean, I’m sure I could, but I don’t have to. It happened to me in… Continue reading Non-fiction Stories.

I was writing with a group recently and we were given what’s called a writing prompt. I might have spoken about this before or perhaps you are familiar on your own.

Happy Monday! Did I leave your brain spinning all weekend? I’m sorry. That wasn’t my intention.

The thirst we have for approval. It’s fucking brutal. I have, on many occasion (but mostly as… Continue reading Likability Ratings.

Where did I leave off? Oh right. Social media stalking. Amazing, right? So cute. No wonder I’m pondering my ability to be a social creature. I would ask who does that, but the better question is, who admits that? I do. I am. I think it’s important that we keep it real. I want to… Continue reading How do I gauge this?

I was so excited about this topic that I almost dove in right in the middle. That’s right. I almost started at a place where it would make next to no sense for the reader. That happens to me sometimes, but I think I’ve shared that with you. I get so excited about some thing… Continue reading Am I that unlikable?

When has fear sabotaged you from growth? I was reading recently and this question was posed as something to explore. My immediate response? All the time. Every time. Often. Frequently. Typically. I want to say never. I want to tell you that I have always been able to overcome my fears to grow as a… Continue reading The Saboteur.

I know, I know. Tomorrow was a pretty long stretch this go around. What can I say? I have a lot going on and I’m trying to practice self-care since I go on and on about it all the damn time. Anyway, speaking of self-care, I’d love to talk about standards. I basically talk about… Continue reading High Standards.
