Poop-a-loop. It seems…..that as hard as I try to make my life simple, sometimes life is just hard. And I don’t try to make it hard. But lately, lets really face it. Life is kinda hard right now. When life is hard the thing I really, really, really like to do is blame someone. OHHHHHHHHH…

And so you’re back from outer spaceI just walked in to find you here with that sick look upon your faceI should have changed that stupid lockI should have made you leave your keyIf I’d known for just one second you’d be back to bother me Lordy. How are we back here? How? I want…

We said goodbye to my Gran this weekend. It was lovely and sad and heartfelt and full of family. I had the honor to share my thoughts at the service. I thought I would share with you 🙂 Earlier this year my Gran, my mom and I all qualified for AARP. It was a magic…

There are five more days left in July and I am hoping they pass quietly into August. For those who know my July, you know it is fraught with loss and love and hope and an underlying tide of grief more evident in other months. Granny’s passing was just another notch in July’s belt. I…

I had a great week with my niece. I love ALL of my time with my nieces and nephews but as they grow older and find their voice, their eye, their person…. watching these Littles become grown amazing people is really fun. I fall in love with them all over again….from cuddly toddlers to thinking,…

Yesterday, Maria, my fellow mito warrior and I sat down with a bottle of wine and talked about grief. No one wants to talk about grief. Grief is sad and loss is heartbreaking. But for those of us who navigate a life with loss, it is a part of our world…..a world we don’t always…

This year I am the Queen of unfinished projects. Guitar? Cant play a cord. Knitted sweater? It might be a scarf? Someday? Delights project. HA! That is funny. I have not posted a delight in two months. I have thought of this space often. I have thought of writing often. I have tried to process…

This Little Ladies 90-year old heart is feeling a little tired. A tired heart at 90 lands you a couple nights in the hospital. A tired heart requires a visit in the hospital. Gratefully, Colorado opened up COVID restrictions TODAY and I was able to spend this afternoon with Granny and my Mama in the…
