Setbacks

I’m going to share something very personal this week. It’s about suffering setbacks. Recently this happened to me in a very profound way. It affected everything in my life. The last week of April was exciting, I took my computer to my son, and we replaced the motherboard, processor, RAM, and graphics card. We replaced…

Fitness and Lifestyle

How do you stay fit? The short answer was in the past, I beat myself up at the gym and hoped that good genes would take care of the rest. But after injuries, surgeries, and digestive issues, I just stopped. I gave up. It was too hard… That’s the truth. For the last 7 years,…

Myth or Fact

Here are a few myths that I thought were true. I found out that my “facts” were wrong. I used to joke that one of my dearest friends had the memory of goldfish. I’m not sure how goldfish got a reputation for having bad memories. This myth has been debunked by studies throughout the years. There is…

The Perks of Writing

A friend recently asked me what writing has done for me. I was momentarily at a loss on how to answer because it’s done many things for me. Back 7 years ago when I jumped on the crazy fan-fiction train. I spent much of my time reading fan-fiction, high fantasy, and romance novels with a…

Libraries

I wanted to do a post about libraries. Having used the services of libraries profusely as a child, I thought a post on beautiful libraries would be fun. However, taking a look at what Google had to say about it, I realized that there are many posts about beautiful libraries. So my writing is taking…

What are you not going to do?

My friend asked me the question, what are you not going to do this year? Unresolution? I’m teasing, but it’s a valid question. 1. I’m not going to sit behind the computer without taking breaks. I’ve learned my lesson. Physical therapy is costly, and so is a deep tissue massage. 2. I’m not going to…

My Personal Goal List

Everyone says you should list your goals for the public to see so that you are accountable. To be honest, I’ve been hesitant because I worry about failure. A perfectly normal reaction, I suppose. However, a new point of view has been rearing its head lately. Even if I fail but still make an effort,…

What is this year’s bad habit you are trying to break?

We all have lousy habits and vices. Some are easier to give up than others. I was a smoker for over 20 years. I switched to vaping and am now do none of it. Some people think it’s all nicotine, but for me, it was… Well, I’m fidgety as fuck. I had no problem giving…

New Year, No Resolutions+

It’s New Year, but I have no resolutions. I’ve tried making resolutions in the past, and they seem to fall to the wayside. To be honest, I can be a fantastic procrastinator. Like most people, I tend to put off my more unsavory (who am I kidding) shitty tasks.  I know myself well. I know if I…

Memories of the Library

I was that kid. The one who went to the library at least once a week and borrowed the maximum allowed amount of books. Which was 12 at a time. I devoured books like most kids did Doritos (don‘t get me wrong devoured Doritos too, but reading was far more interesting than food). I would…
