In a new job, in a new chapter, and feeling the need to write again. It's not a new feeling; wanting to write feels inherently like wanting to share. Wanting to share feels inherently like wanting to connect. And so here I am. It's not just the new job, the new phase of life that… Continue reading Back again
The Power of an Educator
My best friend and I are pretty similar... I'm a bit more outgoing, she's a bit smarter. We have different strengths, but both have a good work ethic, a desire to learn, and more. I was listening to a TED talk called "The Power of a Teacher" and it got me thinking about the teachers… Continue reading The Power of an Educator
Yesterday’s Poem: *untitled still*
This poem was inspired by the poem 'Lost in the MilkyWay' by Linda Hogan Scars shine white, Against my pinkish skin. Like stars stand out, In the blue-black sky. Both reflecting the past We'll never see again. A story we will never, Wholly know. There, and there still until they are gone. Gone Nova, gone… Continue reading Yesterday’s Poem: *untitled still*
Literary Books, Erotica, Readings
I don't think I've been particularly shy here in the past and I'm not about to start now. This year, in my reading endeavors, I've been enjoying more romance, smutty high fantasy, and some just straight-up, guilty pleasure smut.

Grief, Anxiety, and Life…
July 2021… in MN for a funeral, I wrote this. And while it feels unfinished, imperfect, uncomfortable, wrong and a myriad of other largely negative feelings, that’s grief. A life stopped short feels that way too. Sitting in a bustling cafe in a little up and coming town in Minnesota, on the Mississippi. It's a… Continue reading Grief, Anxiety, and Life…
Caring around COVID, yr 3
Don't get me wrong, I know so many of us are REALLY burned out with the global pandemic, and contributing to that burn out is the total saturation of the media we consume with COVID related stuff. I already write about it a lot... it's my own way of coping with it all, and I… Continue reading Caring around COVID, yr 3
