It's been easily a month since I've written. I used to have a goal of writing something once a week. And not just nonsense...I was supposed to be writing something worthwhile. I just don't feel like I have much to say lately. It's incredibly frustrating. I feel stuck. I'm not sure how or why, but … Continue reading On losing steam…

On facing down the future…
I've been thinking a lot about the future lately. Maybe more than I should. I tend to do it a lot. I'm the person that plans so far in advance that I often forget to stop and enjoy what I'm doing right now. It's been a point of contention in various relationships and friendships throughout my … Continue reading On facing down the future…
On not feeling the love…
One of the most frustrating feelings for a writer is wanting to write, but not knowing what to write about. Even more frustrating is what I've been experiencing lately: not caring about what I write about. All the things on which I'd normally have plenty to say - motherhood, politics, religion - it's all just gotten too...much … Continue reading On not feeling the love…
On my heart songs…
As someone whose emotions are heavily connected to music, I kind of hate being asked what my favorite song is. I always have several follow up questions: which genre? Male or female? Solo, duo, or group? What season? Which decade? Which genre from which decade? Seriously...there are way too many options. But alas...today's topic is … Continue reading On my heart songs…
On overcoming the impossible…
When it comes to my proudest moment over the last thrity-five years, well, it's hard to choose. Not because there are an overwhelming number of moments to choose from, but because I'm not sure any of them are really all the big of a deal. I mean, personally, they are. But when I look at … Continue reading On overcoming the impossible…
On the real me….
Toddlerhood and family visitors took a toll on my committment to writing daily. So I'm going to give it another go this week. I'm still following Real Girl Rant's 30 day challenge because I love her prompts. Today we have... 20 Facts About Me! My husband and I met when we were 17, but didn't … Continue reading On the real me….
On using the clutch….
I'm trying to get better about writing consistently. I really am! Frankly, I'm not doing nearly as well with it as I could. I find myself exhausted pretty regularly (don't we all) and I'd often rather watch an inappropriate television program in silence while my daughter naps. It's the worst excuse in the world. So … Continue reading On using the clutch….
On airing it all out….
The other day, I made a pretty bonkers statement and a friend said I should write a book based on it. Well, I have no intention of writing a book any time soon, but blogs I can do. So that's what this is. Despite my best efforts to not write solely about parenting and children since having … Continue reading On airing it all out….
On fighting the fight….
It appears we are on the cusp of a pretty big deal election here in the States. My Facebook feed is littered with news clips and sound bites and shares of this politician or that reality star or someone saying something crappy about someone else or someone politician A being supported by this group or … Continue reading On fighting the fight….
On absolutely nothing…
So what do you do when you want to write, but have nothing to write about? You brain dump. There are a million things running through my head, but I can't seem to focus on a single one for long enough to flesh out an actual "piece" about it. I want to be pregnant again. … Continue reading On absolutely nothing…
Use. The. Clutch.
