  • Profound? Maybe.

    Profound? Maybe.

    Part one Like many people, I reached a point in my life when I gave up on having any relationship with a Higher Power. I’m not sure exactly when it happened, but it was sometime during that 16-20 year age. I grew up Catholic, and went to nine years of Catholic school. I attended church…

  • Limitless

    Limitless

    Unlimited budget for 24 hours??? I’d buy tons of scrubs and compression socks and all the Brooks I wanted (especially those Chip & Dale sneakers, they are adorable! :P) Then I’d stock up on groceries. I’d book like, 10 trips for next year. Maybe 20. I’d order every book I wanted from my local book…

  • Philosophers for Dinner

    Philosophers for Dinner

    “Good evening, would you care for something to talk about?” There’s this line from Monty Python’s The Meaning of Life, where a couple is sitting down at dinner, and their waiter comes up and asks if they’d like something to talk about. They choose, from their menu of topics, to talk about the meaning of…

  • Antidotes to Fear and Self-Doubt

    Antidotes to Fear and Self-Doubt

    I love the little acronyms they come up with in 12-step groups. And fear has a few of them: F– False E-Evidence A-Appearing R-Real Or: F: Face E: Everything A: And R: Recover or the more humorous: F– F**k E– Everything A– And R– Run! Fear has a way of creeping in sometimes. It can…

  • Life (and what does it all mean anyway?)

    Life (and what does it all mean anyway?)

    Recently I read this adorable book called Sweet Bean Paste by Durian Sukegawa. I loved it. I had seen the movie first, years ago, which is based on the book (I think it’s available currently on Prime). It is all about a man who owes someone money and so he is selling dorayaki to pay…

  • Annoyed (Boyfriend/Camping Version)

    Annoyed (Boyfriend/Camping Version)

    I don’t know that there’s a lot of words that annoy me at the moment. Maybe I just stay away from the ones that do? However, after spending this past week in the middle of the woods with my boyfriend, I can definitely tell you words/phrases that annoy him including: “Off the hook” I don’t…

  • Motivated

    Motivated

    One of the best ways to keep motivated when learning a new skill is to have accountability. If I’m not accountable to someone, somewhere, at a specific time, it is hard for me to keep going. Here’s a few examples: Cello- if I’m not taking lessons I don’t practice. I was taking lessons for a…

  • Overrated

    Overrated

    I love classics. They are a lot meatier than many modern books out there. They’ve got substance. They stick with you. Give you something to think about. There’s classics I’ve read years ago that I still think about from time to time. Some of my favorite authors are the Brontes and Thomas Hardy. I really…

  • Space/Invaders

    Space/Invaders

    I was a 70s/80s kid. And while I’ve written about my gaming obsessions before, along with my space/alien obsession, I’m not sure that I’ve really gotten into Space Invaders a whole lot. I loved that game. Played it until my eyeballs would practically dry up from not blinking for 45 minutes straight. We played it…

  • Shop/Eat/Read/Repeat

    Shop/Eat/Read/Repeat

    I love my little town. It’s very quaint, with lots of shops and lots of restaurants. The shops have a very boutique-vibe. There’s a bookstore. Coffee shops. It’s fun to shop there, especially when I’m looking for something unique, or for a book. 🙂 A couple weekends ago, I went downtown with my sister to…
