Oh, look. It’s March 31st. My seventh year (🤯) of participating in this inspiring Slice of Life challenge and I’ve managed to write and post just about every day this month. Big thank yous to the leaders over at Two Writing Teachers for shepherding us through this month, to the other participants for showing up... Continue Reading →
It’s true! My phone told me so! (#sol24 Day 28/31)
Anemia wins today and I am totally tapped out. A slow morning stroll with the loaner pooch is the extent of my available output, so up the road we went. Of course I took some pictures. What’s that? Oh, sure, I’ll show ‘em to ya. Here’s one of a resilient tree, hanging on through years... Continue Reading →
Check your batteries! (#sol24 Day 26/31)
I woke up to a 49°F house this morning. Don’t get me wrong, I would much rather prefer to be too cold than too hot, I sleep with my windows cracked open all year round, and I am always equipped with cozy hats and layers but 49° was a chilly entrance to this Tuesday. Plus,... Continue Reading →
Cognitive overload (#sol24 Day 19/31)
People (you know, people out there in the big ol' world) talk about cognitive load. Have you heard this recently? The cognitive load conversation being the thoughts and realizations about the amount of usable information we can actually hold in our short-term memory at one time? Well.

Ah, well. (#sol24 Day 16/31)
Yep. You’re right. You didn’t miss it. I didn’t write yesterday. GASP! I know. Shocking. Past me would have been fretting and rushing and stressing and guilt-tripping all the way to 10pm last night. (That midnight East Coast deadline comes up fast in the Rockies!) But yesterday’s me? No worries in sight. I’ll admit, I... Continue Reading →
My weekend (#sol24 Day 10/31)
My weekend was sunshine and blue skies. My weekend was fall-back-asleeps and lazy coffees. My weekend was belly laughs and memories. My weekend was bike path walks with Mike and bald eagles. My weekend was books and bubbly water. My weekend was muddy Blundstones and heart friends. My weekend was filling and soothing. My weekend... Continue Reading →
Today is a great day to start again. (#sol24 Day 2/31)
I started journaling this past spring. Nothing deep or soul-bearing but a little prompted writing, following prompts from some creative ladies I follow on IG, just a few sentences each day. Once I’d made it past two weeks of consistent journaling, I was entering unknown territory. I’d never before been able to journal daily for... Continue Reading →
