I remember thinking people would probably send carnations. We would probably receive a “Get Well Soon” flower delivery or two. Keith would wake up groggy and be in some pain. He would have sutures and a surgery wound to deal with, and he would be sore. It would take time to get his gut workingContinue reading “Opportunities, PTSD & Vikings: Day After Surgery”

“It Must Be Nice” & Other BS
So Keith and I had maybe a thousand dollars to our names (including what was in piggy banks and the couch cushions) when we started our service company in 2010. Keith gave up a steady job with paid insurance, and we had a little boy and a little baby girl at the time. I hadContinue reading ““It Must Be Nice” & Other BS”
Opportunities, PTSD, and Vikings
On or about this day 6 years ago, July 2015, Keith and I were standing in the front yard when the gastro doctor called.

Avacado Toast

Sister. Wear your husband’s old, holey softball tournament tshirt and faded leggings…with Uggs… to the grocery store? Sweet Friend. We doContinue reading “Let yourself go?”
10 Things To Unlearn Now
Y’all, I have had to unlearn some things. I picked all this up along the way as the gospel, the truth, the way it is, what’s right. I thought it was, and if I had not been open to new concepts or applied my own critical thinking, I would still believe these “truths”. Here goes…Continue reading “10 Things To Unlearn Now”
Gershwin & Peace
He spruced up the kitchen, so it would be ready for me and made my coffee. Now George Gershwin plays. Sausage is sizzling, and it smells so good. Homemade biscuits are in the works. It’s peaceful and glorious. “Somewhere In Time” (Performed on the Piano by Jim Bajor) is one my favorite albums ever inContinue reading “Gershwin & Peace”
