Tonight we will have our New Years tradition, pizza. I'm thinking about resolutions I want to make and listening to linguistics lectures. I learned that Native American languages are controversially grouped into three families. Last year, my big goal was to embrace softness and femininity. I feel like I did that. This year, I want … Continue reading NYE

Logos
I saw in an email from a seminary I have donated to that if you donate monthly, they will gift you the Logos Bible software. I'd heard of that before, so I decided to look into it. So far, I only have the free version on my phone, and I am amazed with it. So … Continue reading Logos
Doom Scrolling/Food
I've decided my social media habits need a major overhaul. Scrolling distracts me from housework. It also distracts me from reading books, which are much better for my mind than posts and memes. I don't want to get rid of my Facebook or Instagram. They're great for connecting with people, and one of my Instagrams … Continue reading Doom Scrolling/Food
2024 to 2025
My overarching goal for 2024 was to embrace radical softness and express my femininity. I think I mostly did that. I want to wear makeup when I'm depressed more, but I don't want to wear it all the time because my husband likes my face bare. He doesn't hate makeup, but he doesn't "get" it … Continue reading 2024 to 2025
Education
Beginning in January, I will be getting feedback on the book I wrote this year, as well as some other projects I've been working on. I'm looking forward to the mentorship. What I want is to get my poems to a point where I feel they're ready to be in a book. Whether or not … Continue reading Education
Great Start to the Break
C took me out to lunch today while A went on a playdate to a classmate's house. It's always nice to get out of the house just the two of us. We had invited L to go with us, but she had homework and things she wanted to do. So we lucked into a date. … Continue reading Great Start to the Break
As a Wife, It Is Your Responsibility to Sexually Satisfy Your Husband
As long as he isn't asking you to sin, you have a responsibility to keep your husband sexually fulfilled. He kills the bugs (or gently lets them outside). He pays the bills. He takes care of your needs. So take care of his. Most men need sex. Once married, he's only supposed to go to … Continue reading As a Wife, It Is Your Responsibility to Sexually Satisfy Your Husband
Sick
I don't know what's wrong with me, but I've been in bed all day exhausted and low. I feel so drained. I don't know how I get this tired except that some of my medicines make me tired. In the few minutes I was up, I just about finished Christmas shopping. Just maybe three more … Continue reading Sick
Aging
The other day, I wrote a stream of consciousness poem that revealed to me that I need to handle aging with more grace and a greater sense of hope. It was absolutely bleak. On Friday, a kind older gentleman stopped by the house to deliver something I'd bought from him. We ended up chatting, and … Continue reading Aging
The Creative Calling and the Trad Wife
Being a traditional wife, or trad wife, can be open a world of creative opportunity. My number one goal is to be a good wife and a good mother, but I also have a creative calling. I'm a poet who dabbles in nonfiction, short horror, and short science fiction. However, though literature was my mind's … Continue reading The Creative Calling and the Trad Wife
