I am limiting my social media consumption for the next few weeks. It’s become a tradition of mine as a reset before starting the New Year. I have been participating in the Habit Challenge organized by Team Tactic, and it has been enlightening. I will share my biggest takeaway below. I started off really wellContinue reading “Merry Christmas”

Habit challenge Day 8
What is the first song you remember hearing when you were young that you enjoyed and identified as a “good song?” Go play that song now and answer the following: Where were you when you heard it? Who were you with? How does it make you feel to hear it now? My parents divorced whenContinue reading “Habit challenge Day 8”
Anniversary
Who are your current most favorite people? My favorite person ALWAYS is my husband. We celebrated our 28th anniversary this past weekend. We had a staycation at the Anniversary Inn and it was a really relaxing night. My next favorite person is a friend who’s been completely honest and vulnerable and has allowed us opportunitiesContinue reading “Anniversary”
Here but not
So, in October, I took my daily writing practice off line. I will be honing those pieces and perhaps sharing here, or maybe share in other forms. I have opened and closed this blank page a lot over the last few days. Lots of things going on amongst my inner monologue… not much of itContinue reading “Here but not”
Testimony
Once a month, our weekly church service is essentially an open mic meeting. Anyone willing to share their experience is welcome to get up and share. For years, I was the one who stepped up to the podium and shared my thoughts and experiences about my beliefs. I am a little more selective about when/where/withContinue reading “Testimony”

I went away to school because I had people intervene on my behalf to ensure I got theContinue reading “Away With Purpose”
Holding Grudges
At this time last weekend, I was on a plane. I was going to Florida for the first time in seven (7) years to be with family. And, I knew that I was walking into a lion’s den. Being the only (to my knowledge) disabled person since birth in my family means I’m treated differently.Continue reading “Holding Grudges”
Off On Another Adventure
I was just getting into my routine. Last week was the last of my 10 hour shifts. Yesterday was the beginning of my new self designed schedule. I am so happy that I said what I wanted and actually got it. I have worked out for the last 2 days. And, I have plans forContinue reading “Off On Another Adventure”
Home Again
We arrived home early this afternoon. I took the day off of work to recover. Our car is cleared out and (mostly) clean of the bug goo that happens on long trips. The inside is clean of the trash and the sunflower seed shells that always accompany me on my travels. On my socials, youContinue reading “Home Again”
Return Home
We started the trek back home. Currently in the car for the longest part of the trip. It was a good trip. We went to the wedding of our granddaughter’s parents. I did not take the opportunity to give a toast. If I had, this is what I would’ve said: Thank you for allowing usContinue reading “Return Home”
