Sometimes these prompts are funny. I am no authority Just in case I come off as one… I have no elevated snack advice. I love popcorn and chocolate and pretzels especially those peanut butter filled ones, and nuts. Um I wouldn’t describe myself as a regular snacker, even as a small child, I liked aContinue reading “Snack?!”

I had to think about this one. I looked up the definition and origin of the word. It sounds serious. If you are on a mission you are going forward, you are focused on an outcome, you eliminate distractions, completion of the goal IS the goal. Im not sure I have the personality… When IContinue reading “Mission?”

Some days ought to be celebrated. Often they are ordinary, unplanned and not even exciting. A regular day. Just randomly perfect. I dont even want to explain why or how. If I could put something on a billboard, it would be that, because too many days like this have probably passed by me uncaptured, unrecorded.Continue reading “Best Day Ever”

Hmm I do a lot of yoga. I have a daily meditation thing that I change up quite often. I prefer to stay present, but I think my tendency is to think about the future more than the past. I also like to plan projects and give myself things to look forward to. I guessContinue reading “Do I personally spend more time thinking about the past or the future?”

If you’ve been following my story, you know that I am spending time on both coasts these days, due to an ever changing aging parent situation. You might also already know a few things about the challenges we’ve faced. Currently, we are back im California, which for me (being a more connected artist here andContinue reading “Greatest Gift”

Isn’t it interesting that the word challenge combined with ‘biggest’ gives me a little anxiety? I wonder initially, if I should skip this prompt question. I might not be up for the challenge. What are my biggest baddest challenges? What seemingly insumoutable obstacles stand in my way today? Shall I name the people? Discribe inContinue reading “Challenges”

This is a question I can’t help but answer. But It’s never one book. What am I currently reading? Two novels, one memoir, and two non fiction. I just started Wally Lambs latest because I love his writing, plus I recently found out he’s from CT and refers to places I’m now familiar with, someoneContinue reading “What book?”

I have been obsessed with this book. (not out of character for me to geek out over a book). It’s about quantum physics. It’s a history lesson and a pretty good explaination of how a wave of energy becomes matter. There’s a weird phenomenon. Particles (tiny ones, on the quantum level), need to be observed.Continue reading “So”

Sure, I have many wonderful memories. As I look back on my life, through pictures or just reflecting back, I really have had a wonderful life. I’ve had my share of George Bailey-all-is-lost- moments, but as the years march on, I can’t help but be grateful for all of it. The hard times, the funContinue reading “No, I don’t want to ‘Relive’”

I’ve had some interesting down time. I’ll probably block most of it from my memory as time marches on. Did I really break my ankle? What black boot? Pain? Oh it wasn’t so bad… Oh man. Going on my eighth week of recovery, something has shifted, and not just with my ankle. Meanwhile, as thisContinue reading “Summer Ended”
