Smile Because

Sometimes You get a glimpse Of your beauty In the mirror or Reflected by an interaction Where You said the right thing At the right moment And the spring trajectory and smile from that person left no doubt You made them think. About something. Or see. Something. That they had forgotten about. Every day. Minute […]

I spend too much time on ellipses. 1. … I over use them. 2. … when I over use them, I go back and fix them to be grammatically/punctuationally correct. (Maybe made up a word there). 3. … When I think I’m using them correctly, I STILL go back and double check. On account when […]

Joy and acknowledging other views takes NOTHING from you. If it does, that’s a big check. Be loud and do your thing, but have eyes wide open.

Do you wanna know what has totally leveled me in the past couple weeks? Compliments. Validation. I think I’m sort of funny. And I like to share weird stuff, because it might help people who also have weird stuff they would like to share. I am always impulsive, and write quickly from my heart. I […]

Honestly, every time I can stand up from a kneeling position, I’m pretty excited. ** just had to check the air in my tires … FOUR TIMES IN A ROW!!!

My water bottle leaked into a box of kleenex in my car and basically saturated the box. Perhaps I shall add a drop of essential oil and put it in a ziploc and call it “life hack wet wipes” … stay tuned.

Sometimes I start to write a reply to a post and think I’m gonna add some wisdom (ego), but ultimately, upon reflection, add no value to the conversation. It’s usually about 2.5 lines in (on my phone) that I realize I’m just trying to be “part of the party” or “cool,” when I’m really just […]

I’m a big Goodwill/Second-hand shopper. Because I’m not fancy. (Is there a word “opposite” for fancy? because that’s me … to my detriment sometimes). BUT. I’m wearing this cute thing today, and within about 12 minutes, my tiny bit of perspiration ACTIVATED YEARS OF B.O. YEARS. No judgey, just wish this cute sweater thing didn’t […]

I’m really good at rhyming and making random crap up… that rhymes. Throw something at me. Mother-in-Law (from Karen) Mama Karen is a favorite, I like her a bunch She hooks me up with delicious Carmel corn crunch She’s got a pug named Lovey and a good community I’m glad to be a part of […]

Here’s the thing about friends. There are acquaintances, fine. There are people in your circles, good … but then there are those people who, when you hug each other for minutes and feel like our souls caught up and we replenished each other without words … priceless. The older I get, the more I truly […]

Here’s a thing. It costs you NOTHING to remind people of their value. Or if that color brings out their eyes. It’s a little ugly out there right now … participate and belt out super glorious compliments and affirmations. (Absolutely DON’T fake it, but adjust your head to see the good).

How you honk at people who pause too long at stoplights tells me a lot about you. tap-tap = hey, bud, light’s green, no worries. HOOOOOONNK = I either have anger issues or I’m way more important than you are and you’ve wasted my time.

Gonna keep this jacket clean ALL DAY! Minutes later … baked bean rolling on down my lapel. Ah dang. Maybe tomorrow.
