GOODNESS GRACIOUS! I haven’t written in ages. Somedays I try but feel like I’ve almost forgotten how. Lately though, I’m feeling some new-found determination to get myself back in the game of life (at least where writing is concerned). I sat the bench for a minute. I’ve needed a breather – some much-needed downtime. AndContinue reading “(WAY) OVER 40 AND FABULOUS”

LAYERED BISCUITS
This is not just a story about drug addiction, but about a need and desire for a relationship that offers little reciprocity. Let me back up….. I haven’t written in almost two years. TWO. YEARS. I guess I’ve been out of words, although my husband would probably disagree. The truth is, it’s been a weirdContinue reading “LAYERED BISCUITS”
TWO-MINUTE WARNING
I’m in counseling. I’m also great at intros in case you couldn’t tell. Actually, let me start over… Hi, everybody!! It’s been awhile! I’ve been busy writing books instead of writing blog posts, but I’m back! And also, I’m in counseling. Better? Whatever. I’ll fill you in on why I’m in counseling in a minute.Continue reading “TWO-MINUTE WARNING”
SUNSPOTS AND YOGA
Decisions, decisions. What in the world am I going to wear today? Should I eat those two cookies for lunch or like, a turkey sandwich on Ezekiel bread? Should I go to that event? Should I try yoga? Should I say yes to that coffee date? Should I start a podcast? Should I be aContinue reading “SUNSPOTS AND YOGA”
IT TAKES A VILLAGE
I wish you could be with me right now. I snuck away to the balcony of a venue I’m performing in Charlotte, NC. I’m watching the team set the stage. They use big words I don’t understand and they do techy things with cords they call cables and screens and pullies and lights and itContinue reading “IT TAKES A VILLAGE”
THE GIVE-BACK
To all my friends who read…it’s been awhile. Forgive my absence. I haven’t been blogging because I’ve been writing you a book – a very sarcastic, non-sensical, ridiculous, yet sadly factual, comedy book due out in the spring. I’m sorry I broke up with you so abruptly with no warning, but the truth is, IContinue reading “THE GIVE-BACK”
TATTOOS, REBELLION AND DIRTY NEEDLES
When I was growing up tattoos were taboo and rebellious. Today, they are widely recognized as a definitive, creative way for people to express themselves and tell their stories. And depending on said tattoo they are also recognized as lame, beautiful, hideous, symbolic, impulsive and/or intriguing. I’ve heard it all. As we well know, everybodyContinue reading “TATTOOS, REBELLION AND DIRTY NEEDLES”
KRISPY KREMES AND MENTHOLS
The good ole’ New Year’s Resolution – or as I like to call it, The List of Good Intentions. You know, those things we say we’re gonna do but usually don’t. Oh stop! You know you do it – “commitment” with no follow-through. Yes, there are those chosen few who actually say they will andContinue reading “KRISPY KREMES AND MENTHOLS”
SANTA CLAUSE, BABY JESUS AND RICKY BOBBY
Ahh…all the pretty Christmas lights. Some are as beautiful as a bride on her wedding day. Others…straight up ratchet. You know who you are. I’ll never have to buy a ticket to the side show again for the rest of my life if you’ll just keep ’em lit year round. Good grief, this is betterContinue reading “SANTA CLAUSE, BABY JESUS AND RICKY BOBBY”
JOY IN THE UPSET
Ahh…the good ole 30 Day Thankfulness Challenge. Let’s see just how much “thankfulness” we can publicly cram into a single month’s worth of Facebook statuses. I actually love reading these posts. While some folks are as sincere as the day is long, there are some folks who run out of thanks fairly early and startContinue reading “JOY IN THE UPSET”
