The Simplest Form of Radical Self-Care

The term Radical Self-Care has been rattling around in my brain for a couple of weeks. I listened to a TED talk given by Anne Lamont called 12 truths I learned from…

A Life Affirming Quote

NaNoWriMo is always full of surprises and this year is no exception. First of all, the writing has been hard. Second of all, the story I’d planned didn’t come together.…

    Some Days I Simply Need to Rant (But Not About What You Think)!

    July 30, 2020 /

    Some days I simply need to rant (But not over what you think it’s about)! I think I need to rant for just a moment. No, this rant isn’t about the current issue of mask-wearing. Although I do have to say that a piece of fabric is a small price to pay for something to fight against a virus and to help our fellow human beings, so be it. It isn’t much and even if the experts are wrong, it really isn’t a big deal. It’s not about whether or not this pandemic is real. The number don’t lie. Too many people are affected and too many have died to…

    What Can You Do With ’30 minutes of…’?

    July 8, 2020 /

    Thoughts on what I can do in ’30 minutes of…’. So one of my favorite Instagrammers (@farmhousevernacular) has a thing called ’30 minutes of house’. Originally this was created by her husband as a New Year’s resolution. But it is something that served him well since. They have an old house (approximately 1906ish) that needs a lot of work. Actually their house needs just as much work as mine did – and they’ve planned it better. My husband and I have simply done it haphazardly while they have been systematic about their renovation. It probably helps that they are both engineers. Anyway, this idea of 30 minutes of house has…

    Getting Unstuck Through Reading – Prime the Pump

    May 28, 2020 /

    Get Unstuck through Reading – Prime the Pump! So you haven’t been writing. In fact, you are stuck. Keep reading to find ways to get unstuck through reading. As I’ve written in a previous post, Priming the Pump, you can get your creative juices flowing. One of my favorite ways to find that spark is through reading – something. Often I read writing books or books about my favorite authors. Sometimes I look through photos. I never know what will cause the spark so I keep working at it until something catches. The following is a list of items on my bookshelf that I am likely to reach for when…
