Endings Bring New Beginnings
This weekend I am on the last Christmas/New Year’s, help-people-with-their-dogs adventure for at least two weeks. I promise I really did quit dog-sitting as a business. Last year Erica would wonder how much “quitting” was actually had… Speaking of Last Year Erica… I was thinking about a year ago today. I remember how tired and…

Bringing Joy (Or, How To Survive At A Higher Altitude)
This weekend I’m in Woodland Park, Colorado, at a women’s conference. Today is the last day, but now that I’m mostly over the altitude sickness, I decided to get a coffee at the beginning of the day. And then I wasn’t allowed in the auditorium because the cup doesn’t have a spill-proof lid. Whoops. So…

Sitting, Wishing, Waiting
It’s amazing what happens when I don’t blog for almost a whole week. It’s like a whole week of life happens.

The fun thing about this particular “company” of conventions is that if you are an “Exhibitor” you get a free pass to anywhere in the building, basically. Erica has taken full advantage of that feeling of…

Time To Move On
As I get older and notice patterns in my life more often, I take the time to stop and address why the pattern is even there to begin with. What started this pattern?When did this pattern start?Why is it still a part of my life?Is it necessary? In this case, the pattern is thinking of…

Another Con Bites The Dust
This year I went to the 24th annual PlanetComicon in Kansas City, Missouri. This was my third year in a row going, but my fourth time overall. The difference with this year and previous years is that, although I had my own 3-day pass as a regular patron, I helped my friend Rachel Newhouse with…
