Things I learned today… I am one tired chick. I swear, my legs and feet are absolute jello right now. Uugghh. I read last week in a book, and I’m SLOWLY (ever so slowly!) learning that nothing that happens to us on the daily is ever as bad as it seems. Most things are prettyContinue reading “Things I Learned Today / Wednesday, September 22, 2021”

Things I learned today… There is PLENTY of room in the world for people who are unapologetically real. And frankly, I think the world is starving for it. Happy, happy, motivational, inspirational, celebrational whatever is all fine and dandy, but some people want to be assured that they aren’t the only ones who are onContinue reading “Things I Learned Today / Tuesday, September 21, 2021”
AWOL…but with permission.
I’ve been AWOL. I never thought I would go without posting a TILT, but it’s been over a week without one. I was pretty committed and swore I’d never do it. But I had permission…from myself. I think sometimes life surrounds us with a hundred little stacks and piles. Stacks and stacks of responsibilities. PilesContinue reading “AWOL…but with permission.”

Things I learned today… I wrote a blog post today about being nice despite differences. Speaking of differences… Keith scrapes all the icing off. I LOVE icing. In my morning misery, I don’t even turn on the light to take a shower. Keith turns on all the lights in the house in the morning. Keith’sContinue reading “Things I Learned Today / Wednesday, September 8, 2021”
Different. Nice.
We can be different if you’re nice. If you’re nice, we can be friends. If we are friends, you can expect my loyalty, grace, and support. We can be different if you’re not nice.

Things I learned today… I read this morning that in the 1950’s, the world was “hyper-localized”, which makes total sense, right? You got your gas (pumped for you) at the corner. You knew the grocer, and he owned the store. Your neighbor was the area dentist. The kids you knew were the ones in yourContinue reading “Things I Learned Today / Tuesday, September 7, 2021”
My Email Runneth Over
In my quest to NOT work 24/7 and actually try to have a life, the moment of reckoning comes when I must face the dreaded email box. Oh my, there are so many. I feel stared at, like I’ve kept everyone waiting. My anxiety is over the moon, so I’m doing all that deep breathingContinue reading “My Email Runneth Over”

Things I learned today… 1:48 am Two overachievers shouldn’t begin putting together a 1,000 piece puzzle late in the afternoon. And we’re short 3 pieces. That’s all. We learn every day, don’t we?

Things I learned today… A while ago, I went to the grocery store to get porkloin to smoke and all the goodies for a giant, amazing charcuterie board tomorrow. And tonight, Keith is making chicken and dumplings. Y’all. Keith’s chicken and dumplings are the best ever. Period. Oh, and I got the stuff to makeContinue reading “Things I Learned Today / Sunday, September 5, 2021”
