I started my new job as a volunteer coordinator last monday. I was super excited for the new opportunity and confident at the beginning, but now I feel like I don’t know anything and may never succeed in this job. Is it usual to feel completely incompetent and overwhelmed the first week in a newContinue reading “New Job, New Stress”

The End Of Part One
I saw the Lamb break open the first of the seven locks. I heard one of the four living beings cry out like the sound of thunder, “Come and see!” Revelation 6:1 – The Holy Bible I’ve been having dreams about the end of the world recently. It’s been nursing a bit of an obsessionContinue reading “The End Of Part One”
What’s Your Favorite Wedding Comedy?
Planning a wedding has me in the mood for wedding films. But not gushy romance movies like The Wedding Planner and Runaway Bride, no, hilarious, irreverant comedies that make me snort. The Wedding Ringer with Kevin Hart has been my favorite so far and has gotten me in the festive wedding mood. What’s your favoriteContinue reading “What’s Your Favorite Wedding Comedy?”
Let’s Talk About The Joker
I just saw the Joker movie with Joaquin Phoenix for the first time. It was amazing. I for one definently appreciate the movie raising awareness for mental illness. Every little bit helps. How about that ending though? What do you guys think, did it all really happen, or was it all in his head? Let’sContinue reading “Let’s Talk About The Joker”
Maybe Writer’s Block Isn’t All Bad After All.
Before my divorce a few years ago, I would write. Pages and pages, hundreds of thousands of words. It was easy, it flowed out of my fingertips. I loved writing. It was easy for me, like a form of journaling, without the lamenting and monotony. All the plots I wrote had very similar themes. TheyContinue reading “Maybe Writer’s Block Isn’t All Bad After All.”

Hard Transitions
This is my happy place. Sitting in my apartment with a huge cup of tea and my two sleepy cats, listening to the new podcast episode of Timesuck by Dan Cummins. It’s quiet and cozy, and right now I can pretend like there’s nothing outside in the world to bother me. I’m about to goContinue reading “Hard Transitions”
Hey, Check Out My Cat
That’s the only pickup line I’ll ever need. #cats #animals #family #life
Collections
I obsessively collect two things. Books, like most people who like reading and writing, and boxes. They have to be boxes with hinges, like music boxes, jewelry boxes, chests that open and close. There is something about them. If they’re old, mysterious, decorated, I must have them all. Collections are a funny thing. I alwaysContinue reading “Collections”
Your Most Amazing Self
I have it written up on my whiteboard at work beside my desk and I see it every day, as a question and a reminder. It’s the phrase “Are you being your MOST AMAZING self today?” I don’t feel like my most amazing self today. I didn’t feel like my most amazing self yesterday either.Continue reading “Your Most Amazing Self”
