Play Is Healing
Today marks 8 years since my dad died. It wasn’t a hard day in that I was sad all day… I was less talkative than usual and I’m sure my mom was slightly concerned, but I promise that wasn’t the biggest issue. I even woke up today and one of my first thoughts was, “Oh…

A Person Of Peace
Against most of my friends’ better judgment, I am back sitting for some people. To be fair, every person I’m sitting for falls under one of two categories:– people I chose not to tell because they hardly ever ask for help, or– people that are more friends than they ever were clients. This week, I’m…

The Art Of Slowing Down
I hope you all don’t mind that I’m not putting pictures in my blog posts lately. Most posts with pictures tend to get more eyeballs, but when I do a blog on my computer, I don’t have any pictures that I can upload quite so easily. So words will have to suffice. I thought for…

Memorial Day Thoughts
Last night, I did some beta-reading for a friend of mine and then went to bed. Although that doesn’t usually bode well for my sleep, I did it anyway. If I read anything before bed, I have to have a time of unwinding, which is usually just listening to music and thinking about what I…

Thoughts From Today
I have gotten to the point in my day where nothing seems good to write about, but I know in my “knower” that there were at least three topics I considered writing about today. One of the things I’ve lost the ability to do– for whatever reason– is remember a writing topic for longer than…

The Father’s Opinions
Yesterday, I could barely figure out what I wanted to blog about. Today, I’ve had two ideas for blogs. I’ll probably do the other one as a scheduled post so be on the lookout for another blog probably tomorrow. 😉 Since I had yesterday off, I did my “Monday” client today, which meant “Lunch with…

Birthday Thoughts
Usually when someone takes their birthday off, they sleep in. A common joke in our family is that sleep is for the weak, so I woke up at 6:30 this morning to go out to breakfast with my bestest friend. It’s also common when someone takes their birthday off that they do as little as…
