Heartbreak

June 7, 2019March 15, 2018

Ok, honesty moment here. When I started this blog a few years ago I had no idea how bad I’d be at it. Not bad in the sense that my posts aren’t good (I love my topics and my writing style). But bad in the …

The Unabomber Story

June 7, 2019November 11, 2017

Are you watching Manhunt: The Unabomber? I’m five episodes in and lessons learned from Ted Kaczynski. 1. Identify your ideals. 2. Have the courage to live by them. {Preferably if they are not extreme.} So amazingly brave of his family to turn him in. What …

NaNoWriMo Participant On Deck!

June 7, 2019November 9, 2017

Have you heard of NaNoWriMo? Well until a few months ago, I hadn’t either. A friend of mine did a speech on the experience in my Toastmasters club and it piqued my interest, but then got shoved into that mental junk drawer in the back …

Leaving Scientology

June 7, 2019December 12, 2016

Mike Rinder has teamed up with Leah Rimini on A&E’s Scientology and the Aftermath to expose their (and many others’) truths about Scientology. It is mind blowing. If you haven’t been watching their A&E series, I encourage you to do so. It not only takes you inside the world of …

Donald Trump’s America

June 7, 2019November 11, 2016

**warning: raw, initial, emotional thoughts coming** I’ve been gone for a while, obviously. Where I’ve been and what I’ve gone through is another post for another day – if I even write it all, at this point. 2016 has been a hell of a year …

The Mystery That Is Steven Avery

June 7, 2019January 21, 2016

OK, I’m a little late to this party. But I’m here now and I did what most of you have already done – I binge watched Netflix’s Making a Murderer. Then I went to bed, and woke up with this case still on my mind. …

2015: My Year In Review

June 7, 2019January 9, 2016

WOW! 2015 literally flew by. I guess the older you get the faster time moves. Or at least that’s how it feels. As I sit here on the eve of my birthday, ready to embark on my last year in my 30’s, I can’t help …

Whoopi Goldberg’s Relationship Tips

June 7, 2019January 4, 2016

I just finished reading Whoopi Goldberg’s latest book – If Someone Says “you complete me,” RUN! This is a book of common sense. But as life has taught many of us – common sense isn’t common. The title of the book stems from the classic line …

Creed .. Or Is It Rocky 7?

June 7, 2019November 26, 2015

My thoughts BEFORE the movie — I didn’t even realize this movie was coming out until I read the USA Today on 11/23. I love Michael B. Jordan. Every time I think of the movie Fruitvale Station I get angry and teary eyed at the …

Rock ‘n Roll Vegas 2015

June 7, 2019November 17, 2015

This was my first RNR event and I was ecstatic leading up to the event. I hadn’t prepared for the half so I had to sign up for the 10K (which I hadn’t prepared well for either but I could crawl that if necessary). I’d …
