Where do I even start? So much has been written since Election Day that there probably isn’t much I can contribute that you can’t search out on Google yourself. I think for me, what has impacted me the most was how much this one hurt. I thought when Trump was first elected, that that would …

For those that know me, I’ve had back issues for a very, very long time. Most recently, I had various types of shots and an ablation earlier this year. I’ve also tried acupuncture and see a chiropractor regularly (or I did, pre-COVID anyway). I’ve had mixed results with all of these. None of them have …
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about endings and beginnings. This pandemic has ended one part of our lives — where we live happy and ignorant of what is actually happening around us — but it has created a new, and some would argue, better life for all of us. One where we are more …

I was thinking this week that I have heard a lot online and in the transcription work I do that people are having a hard time working from home. My husband and I were chatting and realized that this part for us is easy. We both work at home (he as an artist, me as …
I’m in Rhode Island, and while we’re aren’t being ordered (yet anyway) to shelter in place, nor am I quarantined, I am doing my best to stay home and avoid social situations. As an introvert, I’ve been training for this my entire life. Seriously though, I have ranged between overwhelming anxiety and a feeling normalcy …
First off, STAY HOME. I can 100% promise that you do not need to go to that bar or the mall. Yes, I feel terrible for saying that because I know that small businesses are going to suffer, but it’s just common sense. Okay, now, let’s move onto some ideas I’ve had about trying to …

I admit to having gone sporadic with my blog posts. I realized last year that committing to writing every week made blogging a chore, not something I enjoyed doing. So I promised myself as 2019 closed and 2020 began that I would create a flow to my blog that made sense for me and, more …
