Finding Me
I’ve realized lately that I have a tendency to hide myself. Not just from others, but even from myself. I am afraid of being seen. When I really think about it, I’m fairly certain it came from a fear of being yelled at or directing negative emotions my way. I don’t like saying it’s my…

Showing up Scared
Last night I showed up scared. I’ve been posting on my FB page about not staying quiet when it comes to the rights of the marginalized. A woman I know that is very active in the school leadership community made me aware that there would be a school board meeting at which it was rumored…

Office Update

I’m all moved in! I’ve been spending all day, every day, here at the office. Some days I’ve focused on work and others I’ve spent with my writing. I’m trying to get a set schedule of when to do each so I’m not letting myself get distracted while working on either. My thought is that…

I did it!
I did it! I made it through the class and performed last night in the Storytelling Showcase! After that first class I continued to be nervous, but not nearly as debilitating as that initial day. I actually felt more like me in the subsequent 5 classes. I was able to speak up and joke around…

Big day

The Saga Continues
Today marks the 7th day we have had workers/repairmen in our home in the last 10 days. I am SO grateful to my husband for working from home almost all of those days to be the one to deal with all of these people. The kids were gone last week, but they returned on Friday…

FREEDOM!!!!!
After an entire month of being confined to my home unless I could bum a ride off of someone, I am FREE! Yesterday I had my follow up with the orthopedist and he said I could start driving again and walk without the boot. He did say I might find my foot/ankle getting tired and…

Adepticon Recap
It has been quite the social week for me. Last Tuesday my husband and I flew to Chicago for Adepticon (a gaming convention he helps with every year). I went last year for the first time. A friend I’d met online and her husband went too and we got to hang out in person for…

Crazy Week

This week has been so very crazy and full of exposures I certainly didn’t pick! My husband drives a 2017 Prius. It’s a hand-me-down from my aunt and uncle. We have had no problems with it in the 2.5 years we’ve had it. Monday evening I got a text from him saying his car wouldn’t…
