Cheers to trying something new - again!

I did a thing this evening and I didn't hate it. Actually, as you can see in this silly selfie I texted to a friend afterward, I kinda loved it. And it even involved exercise. I know, gross.

Maybe turn the volume down on this one, I explain why in this rambly post intended to get me back on my blogging game. I might post again soon or in another seven months. Who can know these things?

I've been asked a few times this week: How's the cooking show going? Well - the last few times I thought about jumping on to shoot a little video, I was cooking chicken. Again. And I didn't want to be the "constant chick...

How are you, and other complicated things.

"You know what, never mind. I don't want to talk about this. It's too confusing to explain to anyone," my son said shaking his head and switching the conversation to cute dog videos on Tik Tok.

Love where my current book is headed even though my self-imposed deadline is looking a little, loomy and a lot less likely!😂

Sometimes, it seems when I have the most to say, silence is what feels safest to share. I write to metabolize life. I've been writing a lot lately and as always, it feels like coming home.

Getting super sick and now in the process of recovering, I've had some time to think about that website I've been in a cycle of antagonizing over, avoiding, and repeat.

I am not for everyone. My writing is not for everyone. It's mostly for me, and maybe for a few of you, too ♥

Take what resonates and I'd love to hear what you think! I mean, unless it's just mean and sh*tty and then, please just don't.

Cheers to works in progress, healing and the journey that is recovery.

Welcome.

Doing some writing this morning and spellcheck corrected a typo to "firth" and I was just wondering, what? When is the last (or only?) time you've used "firth" in a sentence?
Adding this to my words to work in to my 2022 list. Of COURSE I have that list*.

It was fun to write this for my first editor last month. Working on this created, uh, a few more works in progress. ❤https://bit.ly/3vlm50g

Reader friends, I've missed you. 😘

As I write this, my area near Portland, Oregon is experiencing record breaking high temps. Because 15 months of unprecedented situations begs for just a few more.

Summer on the horizon means more writing time! 💥
