Sometimes You Need a Little Time
I have taken a few days off from writing. Before my short break I had posted to this blog every day for 569 days. I was a little disappointed in myself for breaking my streak, but I needed the time to regroup. I need space to think about where my writing was going. By taking […]

It’s Hot
The O’Garas live in Florida and it is hot. Not just hot but humid and hot. It’s like living in a sauna. What did people do before AC? Thank you Mr Willis Carrier. What do you do to stay cool? Are you one of the lucky humans who live in a constant temperate climate? Anyway, […]

Same Brain
My husband and I at the same time ordered the same books on Amazon! Who does that? We not only finish each other’s sentences but without even realizing it we do and say so many things the same at the same time. That’s not creepy, it is connection. Find that one human you can connect […]

Just One More Thing
Sometimes when you’re finished, someone wants one more thing. When you’ve had all you can take and just need a rest, you hear “Can you do just this one more thing?” Just one more thing has to be one of the most irritating phrases in the English language. Y’all I’m so done with just one […]
