Hi there. Happy new week. I know I wasn’t around a lot of last week. I was busy. And thinking. And tired. All of it. I don’t want to make excuses. I just want to acknowledge. During my absence, my mind was constantly churning. Work, the world, the news, my personal life. Everything. Anything. There… Continue reading Weak, bro.

Mostly Good, Mostly Bad.
I wanted to continue what I started yesterday but as is the way of things, something came up that demanded my more immediate attention. In thinking about it, I am sticking with my theme. Complicated humans. The incredibly challenging task of surviving. Nuance. Depth. I suppose it’s just an issue of not sharing the narrative… Continue reading Mostly Good, Mostly Bad.
Poor Bunny Boo Boo.
I was going for a walk with a friend recently and there was a deceased bunny on the side of the road. Given the world we live in, and its obsession with darkness, I know what you might be thinking. Get that out of your damn mind. This isn’t some real life Yellowjackets shit. Not even close.… Continue reading Poor Bunny Boo Boo.
Fun. Fun. Fun?
I thought we would end the week on a good note. We’ve discussed a few heavy topics, considerations for the year, and it just feels better to shift things in a lighter direction. What are your thoughts here? I’m going to imagine that you are agreeing with me here. I know that may not be… Continue reading Fun. Fun. Fun?
Protect the wall(ssssss).
Hi. Ready to continue the conversation? Okay. We were talking about people caring enough. Well, to that end, I know that most people aren’t nearly emotionally intelligent or patient or kind enough to navigate meaningful emotional conversations. Most people just throw in the towel. This breaks my heart in a completely different way and so,… Continue reading Protect the wall(ssssss).
Yes? No? No, no?
Remember yesterday when we were talking about habits? Is it possible that one of your habits is saying yes? Do you say yes to everything? Or maybe you say no to everything? Are you discerning when you respond to yes or no questions? Do you know the appropriate time to say yes or no? Do… Continue reading Yes? No? No, no?
Simple habits.
Most of the resolutions I see folks committing to involve some form of restraint related to relationships or their body or their relationship with their body. They proclaim with some measure of certainty that they will be better, healthier, smarter, skinnier, fitter, move-loving, less desperate, and so on. There is an endless list of ways… Continue reading Simple habits.
2022 is….
Last week I reflected on 2021. The lookback is always challenging because I try my hardest these days to avoid feelings of regret. I don’t want to beat myself up anymore for decisions I made or feelings I had or the consequences of either. If I wasn’t or I’m not pleased with the way something… Continue reading 2022 is….
Ah, memories.
So, this last one is actually my favorite. Admittedly, it might be the romantic in me. The last question for this exercise is -What are the memories I want to remember forever? I’ve already talked about this a little. The way we find light in the gloom. The way that we see things after we… Continue reading Ah, memories.
Proud of ya.
This next question is one of the most difficult for me. I don’t know if it’s the ego issue or what, really. It’s complicated, like most challenging bits of self-reflection. So here it is- What am I proud of myself for? The easiest part is identifying the thing that I’m generally proud of, but the… Continue reading Proud of ya.
