So rumor has it today ends something and tomorrow starts something new. Personally I don’t get it. What does January 1st start anyway, other that an arbitrary calendar? I mean some dude with a god complex and the money and political clout to back it says: “Name a month after me, and make it the […]
Last week for the 100 Word Challenge we had a 50/ 50 Word challenge. Basically one person started something with 50 words last week, so that others could than finish it with 50 words this week. The prompt being The Season. My entry was a bit out of the box (which I guess is not […]
It is that time again. Time for the 100 Word Challenge for Grownups. This one is the beginning of series of seasonally inspired journeys into creativity, or so I am led to believe. And no doubt there will once again be a whole slew of amazing contributions, as the number of participants in the challenge seems […]
I did not intend to write a post here today. But the universe works in mysterious ways, and here I am. I wrote a tongue-in-cheek bit on my other blog (which is kind of devoted to tongue-in-cheek) called Redefining “Gratitude”.

It has been an enlightening several days. For one it is apparent that my recent jump in visibility for both my sites WAS, in fact, a cosmic hiccup. Not totally unexpected. And I had some very eye-opening looks into some very bright mirrors, revealing to me how much junk food I have been feeding my […]
It is uncanny how often reading other people’s words inspire something within me. Actually this is both a testament to the power of words in general, but even more so to the writing skills of the bloggers I frequent. This particular thought was sparked by a poem from my sister, and a humorous piece on shopping woes, […]
As I mentioned in my previous post, my brain has taken a vacation. I thought this would be a good opportunity to write something straight from the soul. After all the brain is not there to interfere. But when I sat down to write it I found that my brain, maybe a bit concerned I […]
The way my mind works sometimes even freaks me out. Then again the human mind in general is one bizarre little creation. Today I want to write this totally world-changing piece based on the strange patterns that I am finding in seemingly unrelated things … and my brain stalls before I even get started. Because […]
