Thoughts, inspiration, balance… and randomness
Funny how you really take things for granted until they are gone. (I mean, it is an old cliche; everyone says it, it's not like it's unknown) But yet, we still, as humans, do this regularly. When our hierarchy of needs are met, we sort of check that box and look for the next first-world … Continue reading Thank You
When I was a youngin' my Dad used to take my brother and I on hikes through the trails and forests of Washington state. Every time we'd embark for the great outdoors, he'd tell us upon arrival, "Remember, if you get lost, hug a tree." Fortunately, I never had to take that advice, like a … Continue reading Hug a Tree
These days, when I wake up in the morning and want to make myself happy, I open my curtain. Outside, in my backyard, are thousands of tiny, brand-new vibrant green blades of grass. I get excited to see more and more of them with each passing day. Wow, sounds, thrilling, doesn't it? I have been … Continue reading Grass and Happiness
I have written about jealousy before. The context of my previous post came from a place of immaturity... of when I was younger and wanted to be perfect in every way. That I would get jealous by all things perfect. Hair, boobs, what have you. And I learned with age (and over time), there was … Continue reading Hey Jealousy
Wow. That was really hard for me to say. I.Am.A.Woman. I mean, I have all the lady parts, why wouldn't I be able to say that? It all started a few weeks ago. I told my friend D about my life-changing, heart opening experience in Italy. I told him I had been to a therapist, … Continue reading I am a Woman

For those of you who don't know what cellulite is for some reason, here is the official definition according to the Mayo Clinic: Cellulite refers to the … Continue reading I See the (cellu)Lite
I think the saying goes, "You never regret what you did do... only what you didn't do." Or something like that. Or maybe I am making that all up. Yesterday was my last day in Argentina and it was a bit rainy, so we decided to sleep in a bit, then check out the Teatro … Continue reading No Regrets
Last post, I wrote about my observations at the airport and the masculine woman I observed there. Today's post is on a similar idea... but a little different. As you may know (or not know), I am currently in Buenos Aires, Argentina for a little vacay (I will recap the trip in a later post). … Continue reading Who Da Man
My darling male basenji, Red, is just the sweetest darn boy alive. I know many strangers, including strangers with dogs, may not always agree with me. But of my two dogs, he is the genuinely lovable one. Last week, I took both the furballs to see the vet for their annual visit. Halo and Red … Continue reading Yank It Out
Maybe it's the Seattle in me. But I love a rainy night. Being inside, cuddled up with the snuggle bugs, a book, a movie, a laptop... hearing the rain on the roof... it's a cozy feeling. You're inside, protected. Warm. As I'm looking for places to buy (yes, I'm still looking, I now have put … Continue reading Rain on the Roof
