So this morning I asked everyone on Twitter – especially the social media herd – to tell me their goals that had nothing to do with social media. (I feel like a lot of us are doing too much social media weed smoking lately, so I wanted to hear something different). I couldn’t possibly keep [...]

I’m not a big fan of looking backwards, usually. There’s nothing you can do to change the past, so dwelling on it serves little purpose in my mind. Learning from it? Well, that’s something. This year has taught me so very much. About me. About my friends. About my family. And about life in general. [...]

Ruthie is my grandmother. She turned 86 last week. And she’s amazing. My family is a small one. Both parents are only children, so there have never been dozens of cousins and aunts and uncles roaming around. Our holiday gatherings are intimate and cozy, with copious food and drink and lots of stories to tell. [...]

A curious thing happens to me every year around this time. I equate it to hibernation, though that’s not quite a perfect word. It’s really a seasonal introspection, perhaps brought on by shorter days, longer nights, sentiments of the season or reflections of the past. Maybe all of it. It’s not something that needs to [...]

I tweeted tonight that I needed a laugh. Boy, did I get one. Or several. And it’s not fair to keep them all to myself, so here they are, for your enjoyment. (Fair warning, some are not for sensitive eyes). From @BeckyMcCray, the picture that make me nearly spit wine on the computer. From @JuliaGoolia, [...]

Insecurity is so painfully, imperfectly human. I’ve been reading a novel lately, the details of which are actually rather inconsequential. What’s struck me over and over is the dialogue. The main character is a typically flawed, introspective and remarkably intelligent young woman. She’s in love with someone, but she’s sharply insecure about that relationship. Not [...]

The amazing thing about the web is that your friends come from everywhere. Some you don’t even get a chance to meet. And in the spirit of Thanksgiving and before we all get wrapped up in the hubub, I wanted to spend a moment and say thanks to a few people that have touched me [...]

When I was a child, there was a man named Kelly that worked at our local grocery store. It wasn’t much of a fancy store, just your typical neighborhood grocery where you occasionally ran into a schoolteacher in the aisles. (That in itself was always strange to me as a kid, imagining that my teachers [...]

There’s been a bit of a meme traveling the web lately, asking people to detail five things about themselves that are little known. And while no one tagged me in particular, a few people asked, and I felt like it would be kind of fun to think about what those five things would be, and [...]
