Unfurling the freak flag.

by

(our freak flags pointing, errr, flying) We like Shrek the movie(s). We LOVE Shrek the Musical. It's cute. It's filled with catchy tunes.  It's a show all three of us adored which isnt always the case. The Tornado & I share the same favorite song. And, the first time we saw the musical, she leaped to her feet & sang & danced & shrieked with wild abandon. And it freaked me out ... Continue Reading

How I fight the pressure to be perfect.

by

Oh people. Believe me I know how vlogs can be a challenge to watch. Word posts are easily read on the sly at the office (yes. I said it.) Word posts are easily read in the morning while the Child is still pretending to slumber & you're praying she actually falls back asleep. That's how important this video is to me. Bookmark & watch later. Watch now with the volume turned ... Continue Reading

This is a conversation which started over on my Facebook page and one Ive still not been able to get out of my mind. Actually, it started long before that (this is your cue to wriggle around & get comfy in your chair.  while this post shall be mercilessly brief there is lottsa navel-gazing coming your way). I was snarfing sushi and talking BRAVO TV debating current affairs with a group ... Continue Reading

I want you hold me.

(please to STOP, sit down, & commence gazing at your own navel as I proceed to blog whilst gazing into mine) It's been a wee while since Ive blogged stream of consciousness. Whether it appears so or not (and believe me given my writing style Im cognizant of the fact it does not)---I tend to blog, put away, retrieve later, edit the crap out of said blog & post. Not tonight. These ... Continue Reading

Please to bestow upon yourself the prize of skipping this post a happy zen-filled FRET-FREE Thursday) Years ago, at a yoga instructor certification course, a woman made the above comment to me when I expressed concern about a situation.

Well, oh Patient People, it's time for the big announcement. Id say I *way* oversold it in this post----but, for me, I did not.

I yammered then about how grateful I was for my health ... Continue Reading
