As a writer my mind is verbose and my fingers anxious to pound that keyboard with my annoying two cents on any normal day. I do it for me not you 😉 And yet as coronavirus hit, I have grown quiet.  My mind is a milkshake of fears, hopes, facts, and uncertainty – Even I…

Hey Girl Hey… I always try so hard to put words together properly. A lover of language, I struggle with sacrificing how words sounds verses what they mean. But tonight let’s be real. I’ve had one or two drinks so my intellect is loosening to my heartstrings so I just want to tell you a…

My Everything Drawer Brain My brain is an everything drawer. In my conundrum of a brain, thoughts seep into each other, sometimes burying my original focus so deep I find myself walking into one room and completely forgetting why I was there. My actions tangle in simultaneous to-do’s. Yesterday, I literally scooped up a cup…

       Despite my love for adventure, experience, and control, I never really was one to talk about “bucket lists.”  But then my husband and I made a decision about nine months ago that quickly changed this mindset.  We registered for the Spartan Beast… in Hawaii.

‘Twas the night before Icegedon and all through the city, Every mom in Austin filled with self pity. Cartons of wine stored in the kitchen with care, In hopes that might dull tomorrow’s screaming there.   The children were nestled all snug in their beds, While visions of snowy days danced in their heads. And…

Am I unemployed?  I sat staring at the box titled, “Job Title?”  Do I put freelance writer?  I mean “writer” is my dream job and all, but it’s not exactly like I bring home a regular paycheck by any leap of the definition.  Do I put “unemployed?”  I’ve been unemployed before.  I sure remember being…

Drenched with sweat, panting, I look up at my husband.  He is equally fatigued.  Sometimes with him by my side, I start to feel like I can do anything, and crazy ideas and aspirations pop out of nowhere.  Glancing up, one of these crazy ideas enters my head. “I want to run to that mountain…

So I’m a closet adrenalin junkie.  Give me a physical or mental challenge, I love to tackle it head on.  Which also means I have the propensity to get bored very easily.  So when I became a full time stay at home mom, I was concerned about not being physically and mentally stimulated enough.  Would…

Have you ever felt a dream to be impossible?  Not so much because of the magnitude of the dream, but rather the personal probability?  I have.  I do.  All the time.   BUT.  There was a time not too long ago that many things in my life felt like improbable dreams. This was a lesson…
