Random thoughts on random things…
I am considering that I might need to embrace rather than scorn the sleep that won't come to me. Perhaps I'm supposed to lie awake to hear something which I can't hear in my sleep. Maybe I'm like a new mother, having just given birth or about to give birth to something new and spectacular [...]
John Steinbeck continues to be a favorite author of mine. I wasn't much of a reader as a kid though had a reading list I was required to complete before attending my new school in 9th grade. That was a great summer. One of my first books from the list was Steinbeck's Of Mice and [...]
Religion and politics can rile even the most mild mannered citizen. Much as pets and children can 'steal the show', heated debates around the aforementioned topics can reek havoc on relationships as to me, what I hear most is a fervent need to 'be right'. I am intrigued after reading my business coach's blog, The [...]
I'm lately indulging myself in one of my favorite writers, Mr. Tom Robbins. I was first introduced to him when I was but a mere pumpkin reading Even Cowgirls Get the Blues. Having always fashioned myself as a sort of renegade cowgirl, his protagonist, Sissy Hankshaw was a breath of fresh female icon to me...similar [...]
I was leaving work this evening around 7pm, the beginning of autumn promising crisp, starry nights, (a harbinger friend of fall told me so), sweaters and robust red wine drunk on my porch with a fire blazing, a must at my home. (One of my favorite things to do with people I care [...]
Let it Be Sed (To children and best friends) She was the sort who couldn’t sit. She’d try, But she couldn’t sit. Her name was wrong. Her parents named her Sedriana. Sedriana Sabastiano. Her friends called her Sed. Others called her SS, Some just hisssssed when they saw her go by. But Sed couldn’t sit, [...]
And sometimes piss you off too! In that I'm enamoured at present with 'tipping points', those pivotal moments when you know your life is veering in a very new direction, and though you might NOT know the exact mapping of where you are going, you know the car has started and there is NO turning [...]
I'm curious about words and the power they hold. Consider how words come and go in popularity, fashion. I remember years ago my brother suddenly adopting, 'later', as his good-bye to me, my brother or mom. 'Later, man', actually. One day it was 'see ya', the next day 'later, man', really without warning. I was [...]
I had a 'tipping point' day. Something 'binged' in my head regarding my business and 'I got it' on a different level....all the things I've known I wanted, (I always have a vision)...I just didn't know how to do it....despite coaxing, encouraging, proding, and all the other things that come from caring folks before that [...]
I've moved a lot throughout my life. I've liked it that way. I'll move again I am sure. Though, my bungaloo with the high ceilings tucked away in the forest with 3 ferocious dogs and 3 killer cats, suits me fine just now....trekking into civilization works for the moment. My car takes me all kinds [...]
