Emotional Support Friend
As you can see from the above picture and caption, I just finished downsizing and rearranging my bedroom tonight! I gotta be honest, I really thought I would be able to get away with not moving my desk, but I realized… if the reason I’m doing all of this is to be obedient, then I…

The Trouble With Journaling
A lot of things have happened over the last week to cause me to feel like “now is a good time to write.” And then I came home from my Chicago trip and it felt like the world was falling down around me. I’d like to say I’m okay with a certain amount of stress,…

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.

The “Age Old” Question
A conversation I had with a friend earlier today prompted this blog, so we’ll see if I can remain on task.

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…
