I’m currently reading Something In The Woods Loves You by Jarod K. Anderson. It’s making me feel kinda the same way I felt when I read Braiding Sweetgrass. Like nature will cure us if we let her. It makes me want to go for long walks in the woods, and not think about all the things.

Transforming Worry into Art: A Call to Action
I’m not a firebrand. I’m not a person who will stand on a corner with a sign and yell at passing cars. But I am also not someone who will roll over. I will not comply. I will find ways to resist that are more subtle, more subversive, and hopefully more effective.
Morning Pages
I still never really know what will happen here when I begin. I often change everything two or three times before I hit Publish. I always think these posts are sooo boring, and question why I persist, but yet I do. It’s like a sick compulsion. It’s like a job nobody hired me to do but I feel I have to do it anyway.
Did I Ever Tell You The Story of Nibbies And Her Puppies?
I found them funny unless I was in them or had some memory of the incident myself. I do remember the story of Nibbies' puppies, but I want to tell you MY version.

I got into a chat box with Marvelous. No help at all. I got into … Continue reading A Good Day In Computer Hell
Why It’s Better To Have Themes, Not Goals
Set a life THEME, rather than a goal.
Giving Up Procrastination For Lent
I was going to do something for Lent, but never got around to deciding what. I don’t want to “give up” anything; I want to add something. I want a new challenge, a new activity, a new project. I did the digital declutter in January and started a book club in February, now I really … Continue reading Giving Up Procrastination For Lent
Crank Time
Here in Pennsylvania it rained. All day. G is so sick she sat on the couch and binge-watched DVR-ed episodes of Long Island Medium and drank copious amounts of hot water laced with coconut oil and raw honey. She is really sick. I did 47 loads of laundry, went to the ATM, and to the … Continue reading Crank Time
