Did I Meet Last Year’s Goals?
As I embark on the adventure of a new year, I look back on the goals I set for last year. The following is what I planned to do in 2025. I did not end up baking more. I want to do that this year. But I spent several months of 2025 under the weather … Continue reading Did I Meet Last Year’s Goals?
Full Blown Cold or Something
I have headaches, congestion, a cough, a fever etc. This has been a long day. So was yesterday. Today though I missed a dr appointment and I've been sleeping most of the day.

Lifelong Student
I'm returning to my idea of an at home, self-directed MFA. But to broaden my horizons and seek new sources of inspiration, I might do a personalized curricum and study more than poetry. I'll break the year up into quarters and then further break classes down by month. I'd like to study Catholicism (obviously. I … Continue reading Lifelong Student

A Little Poem – My Novella
The eccentric novella brewing and screwing her way through the sizzling synapses across my brain is hard to catch. Pick up your plot and follow me! The sun over my house judges my unproductive, polychromatic day. Language was my first love. I try to harness my words as the sparkle defiantly, trying to escape the … Continue reading A Little Poem – My Novella
Domain, Halloween, November
Ok so I still haven't picked a domain. I am open to suggestions. It's hard to pick one name to sum everything up. Halloween was wonderful! We went bowling with some of C's coworkers. Next was trick or treat. C and A had a blast while I stayed home to pass out candy. I am … Continue reading Domain, Halloween, November
Summer is here
A just landed back home with her grandparents. C and I are having a lovely day just us again (A traveled all day Saturday too).

Blogging Without a Niche
Sometimes, I wonder if I talk about too much on this blog. I have poetry and art and submission and marriage and literature and photography and family stuff and mental health posts. You could definitely say I don't narrow in on a niche! But my life, like everyone else's, is complex and real. As a … Continue reading Blogging Without a Niche
