    I found this book in a country store on my last visit to NH. I was so excited! I haven’t read this book since 7th grade over 30 years ago! I am about 40 pages in and loving it as much as I did in my early teenage years. In my earlier childhood I lived…

  • Can’t…

    When I first saw today’s writing prompt, I didn’t think there was a word I would give up. I cuss a lot and don’t care that I do – it is part of who I am. There aren’t too many words that I say repetitively that I mind either. Then a word popped into my…

  • Grudges are like chains around our hearts and souls. Yet we cannot help but hold onto them sometimes. Some pain is too hard to ignore, even if you can forgive those who cause you pain.

    I am struggling to get a remote position. I apply to so many jobs, but it seems everyone else has the same idea. In my mind, I think that if I just keep throwing shit at the wall, eventually something will stick, right?? At least that’s what I tell myself… Does anyone else have experience…

    The Million-Dollar Question

    When you wake up, what is the first thing you think of? Do you wake up starting off your day with a positive frame of mind? These are questions I constantly ask myself.  All too often I find myself wallowing in the constant pain I live in. Chronic illnesses SUCK.  I feel like NO ONE…
