I am trying to like winter, but winter is not cooperating. I created a board on Pinterest called Winter Stuffs a few months ago because I was doing soul homework and feeling optimistic. I hate winter and I can't pinpoint when that began because when I was younger I didn't mind it. When I was… Continue reading Things to Make Winter Not Suck (A lot Of This Is Gonna Be Food)
I am friends with all the people I met at this conference, to this day. I loved this experience so much.

Friends, I have a shit-ton of work to do. Like, paid work. Sitting in the hopper waiting for me to work on it.

A new year. A new administration. Let’s kick off the newness with a glorious song to bask in with lyrics that match our fresh start. I found this song a few days after I entered menopause. I was watering my plants in the kitchen when this song came on my Spotify. I took notice of… Continue reading Screw It, I’m Eating Tater Tots- Episode 22 (Looks Like We Made It, Barry Manilow)
A long while ago, there was a nasty rumor that the term "blogger" was associated with something not fantastic and that used to bother me.
