Patience
I’m waiting to get my book back from the proofreader. Now that I’ve taken the plunge (after procrastinating for years) into publishing I want to blaze ahead at light speed. I’m annoyingly impatient. To date, I have resisted contacting the proofreader for an update. “Are you done yet?” “Are you done yet?” They told me… Continue reading

Awareness
I grew up in an abusive and dysfunctional home. I learned to be mercilessly hard on myself. Understanding my past and treating myself in a new way has lead to immense peace of mind.

Confession
My morning routine is the epitome of boring. I wake up tired, take my pills, open the drapes, turn on the television, get mad at the news and make coffee. While I wait for it to brew, I play games on my phone. It’s decadent. Continue reading

I like to talk about ideas and communicate. I missed my calling… Continue reading

Give Me My 8-Track
I’ve had many conversations with my kids how technology has changed since I was a kid. They often shuttered to think of living without mobile phones and digital content. When I was a kid, we had radio, television, going to the movies, and LP’s. That’s it. I remembered being amazed when my uncle introduced my… Continue reading

Yes Man
Saying no when appropriate is my biggest weakness. I don’t like to disappoint. I say yes until something inside explodes. People then think I’m nuts. They say: “If you didn’t want to do it, why didn’t you just say so…” So, saying yes too often had definitely interfered with my goals, specifically artistic ones. That’s… Continue reading
