I try my best to be up to date with the internet. At times, it is a challenge. I just uploaded an ad I did for ghost writing, posted it on this site, saw it with my own eyes, but do not have a clue where it now resides.
Sometimes, I feel so behind the [...]

Stranger than strange

Staying open, as they say, can be downright confusing. In an effort to find stable income or perhaps a more sizable income, I enrolled in a life, health and annuities class in preparation for the state exam. Step one, passed the classroom qualifying tests.
So, as I continue to move forward with this but I seek [...]
What it means to teach writing

I went to an interview today for a writing instructor. The school was essentially a vocational school though it goes by the title of college.
The most fascinating part of the conversation centered around teaching writing. The student body is comprised of those who may have a language barrier etc. They are not at this school to learn [...]
Returning to the past

OK. I did it. I actually went to my 40th high school reunion and lived to talk about it. There was some anxiety about the trip -what would I look like next to all those others…How would my life fare next to others…BLah BLAh BLAH!
I believe I did fine. I really felt, at least most [...]
Laylah and Me

That is the title my son gave me the other day when I was talking about writing on my blog. Write about Laylah and me! He lifts this beautiful little bear dog, a yellow lab up in the air and states: I give you Cimba! OK.
We have a new puppy. OMG! [...]
Working at home

I am on the phone gathering information about an article I am writing on domestic violence. As I am speaking to the director of a shelter in South Florida, I hear shrieks: Ma! Ma! MAAAAAAh!. “Excuse me, ” I say, “I am sorry to interrupt , but my daughter is screaming.” With that, I run [...]
Work fills my spirit

I shouldn’t apologize for being who I am, but I do see, at least at times, how different I am from the “normal” world. Today, I went to an employment agency. It was really by accident that I happened to get there but I decided to follow through. I had to watch a video and [...]
Healing with laughter

It has been an emotionally rough several weeks. Nothing specific except my endless need to beat myself up. While I can make that statement, I become aggravated with my husband should he state something similar. I don’t need him to point out my failings, I excel at paying attention to my flaws. Anyway, my mood [...]
Working Out

I started with my personal trainer today. This is not the first time I have worked with a trainer. I do hope that it is better. We are working differently than the last time I did this. We are not using machines and are working with my core strength — or should I say the [...]
Trekking out to the mid-west

I love to travel. I went out to Indiana to help my son pack up his things for the summer and to come home. That in itself was a joy. But, before I could get there, I first had to go through the airport, board the plane, de-board, and board another plane. Most of it [...]
