And what a joy it was to walk down the stairs and see a finished room. I disposed of the old cloth … Continue reading And Finally…
The bitch had been known to lose it at times. People thought she was crazy. Absolutely nuts and out of control. People who didn't understand her struggles with over-the-top hormone imbalances, low self esteem and an inability to manage stress. They did not know that her biggest battle was often with herself. This was before she … Continue reading The Crazy Bitch’s Guide To Sanity
Outside is where I want to be this time of year. Especially after a long winter and sometimes damp spring when we are indoors for what seems like forever. My outdoor hobbies keep me busy and I am very happy to putt or paddle in the fresh air. One of my hobbies is gardening, which … Continue reading Anticipation
With women in the United States losing such an important right, the right to choose whether to terminate an unwanted pregnancy, I believe it is more important than ever to share women's stories. The strength and resiliency of women all through history are what keep us going. We must never forget this. Our abilities to … Continue reading Women’s Stories
What a unique and mesmerizing experience. What a beautiful way to bring art to life. What a breathtaking way to explore the colours and textures of Vincent Van Gogh.

I spent most of my life envying men. Whether it was my brothers, their friends, the men I worked with over the years, or my own husband and son. I envied their physical strength because, for many years, this wimp couldn't lift or move hardly anything. I envied the sense of entitlement that they didn't … Continue reading One Big Reason To Not Envy Men
It's been a relaxing week. Perhaps because I wasn't called "Darlin," by a man less than half my age, or perhaps because there wasn't a workman insisting he talk to "the man" instead of me. But more likely it is because spring has finally arrived, and I got to go outside and play. I got … Continue reading Smiles And Chuckles

Stringing conversational sentences together is an effort because you just don’t want to do it. And really what’s wrong with that? Personally I don’t think there is anything wrong with it. It is … Continue reading No Comment
