I need to cut down on the commas and take a break from the incomplete sentences. I don’t normally have a lot of rules for this blog, but enough is enough. As the new year gets rolling, I’ve looked back at some of my 2014 posts. Usually, I write what comes to mind and then it’s gone. I…
I’ve been in my fictional worlds lately. It’s time to pop my head out and say something from the laundry room, but I need the help of a random word. Let’s see… Today’s post is brought to you by the letters L, A, U, G, and H. A laugh really shows a person unlike anything else,…
I wonder what my breath smells like. Sometimes when I have oatmeal for breakfast, my mouth feels pasty. It can also be a little yucky after too much tea too, but that’s just how it feels. I don’t know what it smells like when I’m talking and it reaches out to someone else’s nose. Following…

His character was a stereotypical…well, church lady. She was convinced everything was satanic. It’s hard to explain, so if you have never heard of…

I will learn Italian this year. That being said, let’s be very clear on the definition of “learn.” In my mind “learn” is that I can go to Italy and get around, I can speak basic phrases, order yummy food and ask directions. “Learn” may also include having brief and slow conversation, but that’s about…
Albert Einstein said, “Out of clutter, find simplicity. From discord, find harmony. In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity.” Michael always says, “There is a yin and a yang for everything.
