Do you prefer Summer? Winter? Spring? Fall? Heat, humidity, all of it, I will take summer any day. My friend Natalie sent me a pic of her dash today around 2pm. 118 degrees F. I was stunned. I know a vehicle parked in the sun shows an exaggerated temperature, but that’s high even in Savannah … Continue reading Summer Will Always Have My Heart, Heat and All

It’s a Summer Miracle!
Okay, that's dramatic. But that's how it feels as I'm sitting down to write a blog post for the third day in a row. This one will be fast and furious because I need some sleep. Today was busy and hot. Have you ever noticed how people in the southern U.S. love to talk about … Continue reading It’s a Summer Miracle!
Why Do I Hate it So Much When People Say ‘Just Make it a Habit’? UGH!
I'm wide awake at an hour when I should be sleeping. We had pretty strong afternoon storms today and lost power for a couple of hours. I was home alone and made an unwise decision to nap on the couch, so here I sit. Habits fascinate me. I am super inspired by people who come … Continue reading Why Do I Hate it So Much When People Say ‘Just Make it a Habit’? UGH!

A Quick Check-in…

Not too much in the normal way that I typically feel like it's all too much, though. This feels heavier and … Continue reading A Quick Check-in…
View From the Couch
So THIS happened over the weekend: Yes, friends, I jacked up my knee, so I'm practicing RICE. That's Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation. I forget that I'm clinically hyper until something of this nature forces me to sit still for extended periods of time. This is day three of this RICE jazz and I am over … Continue reading View From the Couch

Thank You, Decoding Bipolar

Still, I am ALWAYS appreciative of my fellow bloggers who take the time to recognize my blog. First up, Decoding Bipolar nominated me for the Black Cat Blue Sea … Continue reading Thank You, Decoding Bipolar

Titles Fail Me When Tragedy Strikes.
I'm trying to stay afloat this summer, keep up with my kids and their activities, my writing projects, and more, all while attempting to retain a shred of sanity in the process -- both literally and figuratively. BUT...I wanted to quickly pop in to say hello. Meditation is going. Thanks to all of you who … Continue reading Titles Fail Me When Tragedy Strikes.
