A more fervent “What. The. F-ck?” has never been uttered. I’ve long held the belief that our physical illnesses are correlated somehow with our mental processes. For years I’ve maintained that Louise L. Hay is right on the money and is a healer way ahead of her time. While I will admit that I do struggle with […]
I’ve just scrubbed my face with a mini loofah and slathered copious layers of lotion on my skin. I feel dried out, despite the forty ounces of cream I’ve applied at $100 a pop. I mean dry; as in my skin feels like it’s been lying dormant in a crypt since the beginning of the pharaoh […]
If you’ve ever been in a relationship that has ended you’ve probably heard the infamous words, “It’s not you, it’s me.” Most folks think this phrase is bullshit. I wholeheartedly disagree. In fact, I would say that 95% of the time truer words have never been uttered. Perhaps the reason most folks have such a […]
I wondered briefly, before settling in to write this, if folks are tired of hearing about my pup; bored with seeing pictures, of hearing tales about steer pizzle, or of listening to my worries and I decided that I really don’t care. For the past twenty some years I’ve been a cheerleader for all of […]
Who travels to Europe and spends as much time perusing the water closets as they do roaming through the Duomo of Milano? Well, I do. Perhaps it goes back to my nomadic youth traveling across the Western states. It wasn’t that I really couldn’t hold it for another half an hour before visiting the next toilet, […]
I would not call myself a sports enthusiast. My limited participation involves cold Sunday afternoons when I turn on a football game so that I can take a nap. It’s a comfort thing. There’s usually roast beast simmering in a fruity Pinot Noir in the oven, flakes of snow tumbling down outside the window, and […]
Before you go running for the antibacterial wipes I just want to let you know that I’m not contagious. What I have is not catching. What I’m about to relay will not travel through your computer’s innards as a deadly Trojan virus or spread through the air like an uncovered sneeze. It’s called stage IV […]
This morning, just like every morning, I stumbled to my coffee pot to prepare a large carafe of caffeine. I laid my head on the counter for seven minutes as it brewed, poured myself a large cup, threw in a couple heaping spoons of hot cocoa mix, and walked back to my computer to peruse […]
I’m a storyteller. I tell stories. Recently, however, I’ve been thinking about a different type of tale; the one I’m telling myself daily about me and my life. This got me to thinking. Am I in a comedy or a tragedy; a fairy tale or a mystery? And like my fiction writing, do I have […]
I don’t know if I’m prepared for motherhood. In fact, I think it’s safe to say I’m fairly freaked out. It’s been thirteen years since I’ve had a wee one romping around the house and let me tell you, it’s a whole new world in the realm of puppy parenting. My first indication of unpreparedness […]
