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

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
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
From The “It’s Freaking Me Out, Man” File
Recently, I began talking about freaky occurrences and the idea that everything happens for a reason (or not, depending on your point of view).

Before I continue, let me give you a quick back … Continue reading From the “Are You Kidding” File
Green-Eyed Monster Is a Bitch
Some of you already know—and for those of you who don’t know—I write a weekly blog over at Women & Words. Back in February, I wrote about how my frustration over not being able to succeed in selling a certain nonfiction project led me to hate someone. This someone has nothing to do with my … Continue reading Green-Eyed Monster Is a Bitch
Time to Evict
I've been saying at various times (like in this blog at Ylva Publishing) that I was going to go into 2014 with a positive attitude and try to handle obstacles with calm and courage and not let anything get to me. I’m off to a bad start. The first couple of weeks of January have … Continue reading Time to Evict
On Cock-Eyed Optimism
My friend Jill said I should write about her, so I am. Jill just got a full-time job. So? you ask. Well, it’s like this. She went through a very difficult year of divorcing her partner, inauspiciously selling her home, moving to another state, moving back, discovering that the support of her family that she … Continue reading On Cock-Eyed Optimism
