• Memorable Gifts (Bloganuary 9)

  Bloganuary Writing Prompt:What is the most memorable gift you have received? Even though I don’t always do these prompts right away, I open the email and think about it until I finally get around to writing. I can say with absolute certainty that I have no idea how to answer this question. As with most…

• Bloganuary 5

  It took me much longer to find the right picture than I thought it would, but I finally did. With the topic of today’s Bloganuary prompt, Joy being prominent makes the most sense. Bloganuary Writing Prompt:What brings you joy in life? As with most of these prompts so far, this one is SUPER vague, so…

• Bloganuary 4*

  *The following Bloganuary post was supposed to have been the first one but when they started sending me emails, they began by sending them to me a day in advance. Until this morning when I didn’t get an email, I had no real idea and thought maybe it was just a glitch. So this question…

• Bloganuary 3

  (I promise I’m not coloring these pictures specifically for these special blogs; they were colored and saved on my phone already and I’m just now finding a use for them) Today’s Bloganuary writing prompt:What is a treasure that has been lost? Honestly I’ve struggled with how to answer this one most of the day. This…

• Seasons Of Change

  After the stressful weekend last weekend, I apparently had to outdo that. My old car, Penelope, a 2012 Toyota Corolla with 264,000 miles on her… starting leaking a fluid. On top of the cosmetic damage (part of her front bumper came off and the rest was held on by duct tape), it was more trouble…

• A Happy, Crappy Christmas

  I spent all weekend and the better part of today specifically trying to decide if I needed to write this blog, but I process grief through words. Not only verbally, but also on paper/screen. So… here we go. This Christmas was… different than others. My bestest friend (with the little dog on her lap in…

• A Thrill Of Hope

  And just like that, it’s the week of Christmas. Boy howdy, has this been the shortest long year ever. I feel like more has happened in the last few months of my life since I left social media than it did before, but I know that’s not true. I just have no idea what I…

• Holiday Blues

  I snapped the above picture after I looked over and realized how much my brother looks and acts like our father. That’s not to say my brother never reminds me of Papa (what we called our dad), but something about this moment made me feel closer to my dad than I’ve had the ability to…

• Thoughts From This Week

  After posting my last blog post earlier this week, I thought about the fact that many of my posts have talked more about my grieving process over losing social media or my grieving process over other things or just grieving in general. That wasn’t why I started this blog, I promise. I had expected things…

• Always On The Clock (A Longer Blog Than Usual)

  I’ve been trying to write this blog for days, but something kept stopping me.– Life– Lack of motivation– Not having a good title– Going in the wrong direction The last one might surprise you since my tagline for this blog is literally living life without the socials, and that’s anything that’s happened from August 29…
