Teenagers are Challenging
I’m lucky. My teenagers are good kids. They work hard at school. Mostly respectful. There is the normal teenager I know everything and my parents know nothing attitudes. Even that isn’t too bad. They are intelligent, unique, amazing, individuals who surprise me with how much they love life and the humans they share it with.…

Fair to Middling
I’m doing alright. How about you? Sometimes you just have to look at yourself in the mirror and ask yourself, “How you doing?”

I want to Quit
I’m tired. Life has worn me out. I just want to quit, but I won’t. Why? I am not wired that way. I can’t give up. I can’t stop trying. I can’t quit. I’m cursed with motivation and a high sense of responsibility. I want to accomplish so many things. And it’s exhausting. How do…

Because it’s Friday
Today I’m wearing a tiara. Why? It’s Friday. Did I leave the house with it on? Yes. Sure, maybe people see an adult woman with a tiara and think she’s crazy. I really don’t care what they think. It makes me happy. We need to let our children see us be ourselves. Uninhibited and relaxed.…

My children don’t like traditional Thanksgiving food. Often we serve alternative meals. This year we are, for the first time, going to a restaurant…

Out of Office
How many times a week do I sit down and my writing muse does not show up to play? Let us just say several. No matter what you do creatively if inspiration doesn’t strike you, leave it alone. Walk away. Sometimes an idea will hit you when you are thinking about something else. Don’t get…

Love and Hate
I disagree that there is a fine line between love and hate. Rather than two monsters sitting on opposite sides of a line they can exist at the same time. You can love someone and hate them at the same time. This is not a good place to live. It’s a toxic thing. Don’t take…

Nature is Beautiful
I’m currently it Texas. It is big, dusty and full of people. The entire place glows in a bright sunshine haze. It’s so different from the blue and green of Florida that I am used too. Same sunshine different brilliance. Humans are the same as nature. If they are allowed to be themselves rather than…
