When thinking about what to blog about this week, I had a revelation. This is a year of great change, good and bad. I think it’s true for many people, but, of course, I can only speak for myself. It’s true for me because this is a year of personal journeys for me. It started … Continue reading Journeys

A March Into History
On Saturday, January 21, 2017, I went to Washington, DC, to participate in the Women’s March on Washington. In the days that followed, people asked me how it went. So, let me tell you. A friend and I managed to snag tickets on one of two buses organized/sponsored by Henrietta Hudson, a lesbian bar that’s … Continue reading A March Into History
The Scenic Route
After a long, busy summer, I finally have been able to catch up on a little leisure TV watching. I finally got to watch Orange Is the New Black and Luke Cage, and today I started watching the 5th season of American Horror Story, Hotel. Yeah, it’s been that long since I’ve been able to … Continue reading The Scenic Route
To Sleep, Perchance…
I’ve been a very busy bee these past few weeks. So much so that my house is starting to show signs of neglect and my energy level is frustratingly low. I flew to Washington (state, not D.C.) to attend the wedding party of Women and Words admin Jove Belle. That was a really fun trip … Continue reading To Sleep, Perchance…
Today I Did Nothing
Yes, that's right. Today I did nothing. Why is this noteworthy? Because I NEVER do nothing. I can't remember a day when I did nothing, unless I was away. When I'm home, there's always too much to do, so when I have a day off from work, it's always packed with "things to be done." … Continue reading Today I Did Nothing
Exhaling
I feel like for the last few years, I’ve been holding my breath. What was I waiting for to exhale? A new job. A successful writing career. Some stability in my life. Seven or eight years down the road, I found myself really turning blue. It was time for me to exhale, no matter what … Continue reading Exhaling
Control is an Illusion
This is for all the control freaks out there. Two familiar sayings: You are the captain of your own ship. You are the master of your destiny. Do you really believe that? I’ve spent my entire adult life trying to construct the building blocks that I felt should be the foundation of my life. And … Continue reading Control is an Illusion
Why Does Technology Hate Me?
I’m sure most of you have asked that same question at some point or other. You know how it feels, those periods when it seems like every piece of technology you own has decided to turn against you. This has been one of those weeks for me. Well, it’s actually going into two weeks now. … Continue reading Why Does Technology Hate Me?
The Quiet Jungle
I’ve heard it time and time again, by people all the over the place: New Yorkers are nasty. Well, I’m a New Yorker and I’m not nasty, but taking myself out of the equation, I’d like to address this. There are nasty people everywhere you go. Granted there might be more in New York, but … Continue reading The Quiet Jungle
So Let It Be Done
Happy New Year, everyone! This is my first post of 2016 and I’m doing it in the spirit of renewed energy. The renewed energy comes from having had 5 days off from work over the New Year’s Eve weekend. I don’t expect it to last long, especially since next week is a very full one … Continue reading So Let It Be Done
