Lost… And Getting the Essentials
“What activities do you lose yourself in?” I admit it, I’m a serial hobbyist, particularly in the journal-y, bookish, paper craft kinda way. Have you heard of journal ecosystems? Yeah. That’s me. I have journals about my journals! Okay, maybe it’s not that bad. But I’m getting there. There’s my main journal, the craft-y/junk journal,…

Kinda Stitious or, What I’ve Learned Working in Healthcare
“Are you superstitious?” You may have heard of those superstitious sayings like: Don’t walk under a ladder (common sense to me), if a black cat crosses your path it’s bad luck (I mean I like cats), see a penny let it lay, you’ll have bad luck all that day (also you won’t have the penny),…

Change/Theory-Part I
This past week in school we focused on change theory in organizations. Riveting stuff, I thought to myself, getting into the assigned scholarly journal articles on the subject. But then I started thinking about it more, especially in the context of my work. Change is a part of life, as everyone knows. It’s the constant,…

First Sentences
“You’re writing your autobiography. What’s your opening sentence?” Once again, I did not make it to the gym that day. Okay, maybe that wouldn’t be my opening sentence. But it would sum up this year quite nicely. And in my defense, today I am running on very little sleep, had an early morning work meeting,…

Goodbyes
“Describe a phase in life that was difficult to say goodbye to” I’m middle-aged, so I’ve been through quite a few life phases. Some were not so hard to let go of… teenage years (goodbye and good riddance). My partying, early twenties… My thirties… I feel like I hit my stride during my 40s but…

Challenging…
What is the biggest challenge you will face in the next six months? There are a couple. And by a couple, I mean four: Paying off my debt. There is not a lot of it. But I’m buckling down to do it. My goal is by the end of the year, but I’d love to…

Well, That Didn’t Work…
If there were a biography about you, what would the title be? Well, That Didn’t Work… But That Did! I have made my share of mistakes in life. But there are things that have worked. And the mistakes I’ve made are all part of what has made me who I am today. So in a…

Gravity
If you had the power to change one law, what would it be and why? I used to play a lot of Minecraft. My kids got me into it, and we’ve spent countless hours on there, literally hundreds, even through COVID, when we’d hop on our server and play and chat over Discord. There were…

Dream Home
Write about your dream home. It would have lots of sunlight… Trees all around… Like black walnut, and weeping willow… A lilac bush and a garden… But the best part of it would be the people that would be there. That’s what makes my dream house a home. 🙂 What would be in your dream…

If I Got Great News…
I’d share it! I’d be texting and calling my family. My friends. I’m not much of a social media sharer these days, but I keep in close touch with the ones that matter most to me. 🙂 What would you do?
