But the thing I most dislike about WordPress is all the gatekeeping. They make you create an account to comment, which, no offense, but fuck that. I understand they may be trying to protect me from spam and trolls, but they are also preventing people who might want to respond to something from doing so. And the bots are sneaking in anyway.

I’ve Got Something to Celebrate
In one way, I am sad that it has taken me this long to understand myself: what I want to do and who I am. And in another way, I am excited to launch a new writing project in a few weeks, one more in alignment with who I am as a writer and a person.
This Blog Is Ten Years Old
This blog is 10 years old this month. Who knew?? I didn’t even realize it until yesterday. I was reading through the archives of a blog I just discovered. The author’s archives went back to 2012. It made me wonder how far mine went back, so I checked. And lo and behold, February of … Continue reading This Blog Is Ten Years Old
I Hear You
I used to be uncomfortable whenever there was a lull in a conversation. I used to jump in and fill it with ANYTHING rather than just let any silence be there. I am noticing that I am a lot more comfortable with silence now. I am learning how powerful it is. When someone stops talking … Continue reading I Hear You
Today This Is How It Rolled
This blog is my platform. Every day I step up on it and I say something. I sort of "busk" on it. I don't have a hat, but I do make a bid for your attention. I make an offering. I put something out into the world. Some small thing. Most days less than 1000 … Continue reading Today This Is How It Rolled

I can give voices to different parts of my personality. I have … Continue reading Crazy Puppet Blogger
Wondering Why I Blog
This blog is still such a mystery to me. I wish I knew what I was doing. I wish I knew WHY I write it. I think one way I try to look at blog content is through the lens of: What can I help you with today? What is a problem you are currently … Continue reading Wondering Why I Blog
How many streaks are too many?
I want to start another streak. A yoga streak. I need to get my personal practice back. Bad. The other day I subscribed to Udaya so that I would have lots of classes to choose from and no excuses. My pre-streak started today when I woke up, took a hot shower, slathered myself in coconut … Continue reading How many streaks are too many?
Just a little “streak keeper” post
My eyelid is better. I think the culprit may be the moisturizing oil I use on my face. I love this stuff and I have been using it for well over a year now with great results, but I think it turned on me. I tried not using it yesterday, and using the stuff I … Continue reading Just a little “streak keeper” post
Blogging to Failure
G is coming home tonight. They dropped the last 2 games. The night before the games she said on the phone, “We need to split.” Then they didn’t. They lost both. (I don’t know what “need” means in this context.) It doesn’t matter. What I want to tell her is that I am envious of … Continue reading Blogging to Failure
