I appreciate teachers so much. I can’t imagine suddenly being required to learn to teach remotely while managing your own family during a global crisis, plus dealing with the regular ‘ol curveballs life throws at us. Teachers, you amaze me. Could you please share a few of your secrets with the rest of us? Because…
My writing motivation has been off and my creative juices haven’t been flowing. But it’s a fresh month and I’m going to get stuff done anyway. Below is day 1 of stream of conscious daily writing. It will be the only day I copy and paste here because I just actually opened up The Artist…
Trigger warnings. I’m going to talk about mental health, suicide, hospitals and a whole lot of emotionally heavy stuff. My daughter has given her permission for me to post this. If you or someone you know needs help call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255. My daughter attempted suicide two years ago today. She’d…
I’ve visited Tybee Island, Georgia a half dozen or so times over the last decade. I’m spending the first quarter of 2020 on the island. I have driven by Gerald’s Pig & Shrimp many times and thought, “I should stop in one day.” Well, I finally did! Gerald’s Pig & Shrimp is an open-air establishment…

When I realized it was owned by Paula Deen, I wanted to try it. I’ve been to the Tybee Island/Savannah area several times. I’ve had multiple…
I moved out of my rental home January 1. It was a great home for fifteen months. I moved in with my daughter and our pets in September 2018. It’s where we recovered after living in crisis mode for years. After years of chaos, stress and conflict, everything came to a head early in 2018….
I got to spend time at Bestie Boo’s house in November, which is my favorite place to be. I was intrigued when I found out they own a Ninja Foodi. I’m a big fan of Ninja blenders, but already owned an Instant Pot when the Foodi came out, so I showed restraint and didn’t buy it. Ninja…
Let’s talk about the best things to buy at Aldi. I am slightly obsessed with this chain, driving half an hour each way to shop at the closest one. Pro tip: I keep my quarters to rent a grocery cart in the little compartment on my driver’s side door. I even ventured out to see…
