Owning My Decision
The hardest decision I made was whether to stay with my career in the food industry or finish law school. I had tried doing both at the same time, I was mediocre at both, and didn’t like under performing, so I decided I had to choose. I loved my job in a big food company,… Continue reading

Less Fat
My traditional turkey dinner that I grew up on, had plenty of fatty sausages and sausage dressing. Every Thanksgiving we had the exact same menu. There was comfort in predictability and consistency. When my sisters and I were adults, my sister introduced corn pudding. It caused quite a stir with the elders who abhorred change.… Continue reading

Paint, Write, Sculpt
My challenge as an artist is having too many interests and not enough time. Although, I know I don’t use my time wisely. I am easily distracted. Everything has to be in order before I can feel free to create. When I worked outside the home, the workweek was my excuse. Working from home, I… Continue reading

Silly
The daily prompt asks about my three pet peeves. I could be serious, but I prefer to walk on the silly side today. Here I go. My first pet peeve, McDonalds super sizing everything. It was a bigger thing a while ago, but come on, I struggle with my weight and I don’t need someone… Continue reading

Fantasy
I’m reading a Fantasy book based on Slavic folklore, by a young indie author who I met at a Comic Con recently. Fantasy is not my thing, but I was curious about his work.

My sisters and I have inherited this interest in birds. Often when we get together we talk about the ones we… Continue reading

I been to many beaches and mountains, but mountains rule. I’ve seen beaches in Florida, Lake Michigan and Lake Superior (too cold), Hawaii, the Cayman Islands, and the Pacific Northwest. There is something to be said for the peaceful rhythm of the waves gently landing on shore. It happens no matter what strife is happening… Continue reading

Crossroads
When I look back on key decisions in my life, many of them came down to instinct, a feel for the best path. Sometimes I regretted my decisions, leaving a good job to finish law school. But looking back I realize my instincts guided me well. My legal education helped me become a better writer… Continue reading

May
When I was a kid, December was my favorite month, for Christmas of course. Plus, I liked playing in the snow. Now, in my retirement, I still like the Christmas season, but detest the cold weather and days of less daylight. I’m glad I have a snow blower … and electricity. May is my favorite… Continue reading

Museums
I live in a large city with lots of Museums. I love to go and read all the placards. I love to learn. My family likes to go and scan quickly, so when I dawdle because I’m reading they hurry me along. I often think of going alone so I can peruse the museums at… Continue reading
