My idea of perfect happiness is a contradiction of sorts. Nothing is necessarily perfect. I think perfect happiness is decidedly imperfect. It is more a thing of me being content and have frequent periods of bliss & happiness. It means that my sad moments are not as often and short. It means having people in... Continue Reading →
Monetizing My Anxiety
Okay... some days it seems that my whole life is a struggle and I think I have finally found the answer. I am going to monetize my anxiety. Let me take a moment to explain something. There are four things that people get mixed up occasionally. Those things are shyness, introversion, social awkwardness, and anxiety/social... Continue Reading →
Do you daydream?
Do you daydream? Do you sit and think about a life different from the one you are living now? Daydreaming can be a wonderful thing. I sit and I think about where I am and where I want to be. I imagine owning my own space. I am not sure what to call it but... Continue Reading →
Saturdays at the Farmer’s Market
As many Saturdays as I can manage are spent at the Edmondson Village Farmers Market. Wonderful people here. Fresh produce. Vegan snacks. Art. Jamaican food. Crab cakes. Jewelry. African Clothing. Wood art. Kale salads. Fresh Eggs. Plus more. I have my hand made journals, sketchbooks, fiction, and photography. I sit and sew books while chatting with... Continue Reading →
Ringing in the New Year writing
I participated in this short story challenge. Here is my "completed" short story. Untitled I walked into the lunchroom and headed straight to the balcony.

Embarking on NaNoWriMo is a commitment to get into the habit of writing everyday (at least 1667... Continue Reading →
Preparing for NaNoWriMo 2015
I've decided to attempt NaNoWriMo again. I have attempted it five times. I had been saying four but I forgot that first failed attempt. I have been successful twice but not in a row. Hopefully since I was successful last year I can keep it going, finally. My reason for doing it is to get... Continue Reading →

Fun at Artscape 2015- My Photos
I absolutely love attending Artscape! This year I was a volunteer so I didn't get as many pictures as I would have liked, but I had a blast. Friday I was able to get down there on "work related" circumstances. The artwork was amazing. Someone was selling a python and a few boas. Saturday I... Continue Reading →
HGTV Anonymous – Where is that meeting?
Is there a such thing? I mean what would we do in that meeting other than talk about and watch HGTV shows? Because if that is the case then I am totally there! I love watching and have been watching for years. I think my addiction began with Trading Spaces on TLC. Before that I... Continue Reading →
