Start living the life you imagine.
I really wanted to write about my favorite season. Had all sorts of great ideas, observations and insights, but before I knew it, the snow was flying and it wasn't even the end of October yet! Damn, I thought. It's way too early to be inspired by the cold weather. Now what? Well I tell... Continue Reading →
Funny how inspiration comes from the unlikeliest of places at times. Today was that kind of day. Actually, the last few days were that kind of day. A "Polar Vortex" had hit Wisconsin and the whole state kind of shut down over the span of three days. Oh, we fought it though. We kept going... Continue Reading →
After three days of above-freezing temps, the entire county turned into an ice rink. Events were being cancelled everywhere. Not because of too much snow, or too much cold, but because the warm days and freezing nights literally glazed everything over to a thick, icy shine. My driveway and back patio were iced over, and...

Last week one of my friends got on Facebook Messenger and sent the word out that she needed a girls night. She'd been playing mommy pretty intensely for the past few months and just needed time away from home and children to remember just who she used to be. The rest of the gang chirped...

Believe it or not, this was my Zen calendar quote for today: “You need not leave your room. Remain sitting at your table and listen. You need not even listen, simply wait. You need not even wait, just learn to become quiet, and still, and solitary. The world will freely offer itself to you to... Continue Reading →
There's a sweet little cafe in a nearby town that I love to visit as often as I can. It's like one of those little cafes they feature sometimes in movies, just a little nondescript place with an underlying sense of nostalgia that's increasingly hard to come by. It's hard to describe why I love... Continue Reading →
I'm absolutely sure what heaven is like. Heaven is a sun-filled blue sky autumn afternoon in mid-October. I had to run a few errands today, short ones, so I took my pup along with me. She always wants to go, and I would take her every time, but sometimes it gets a little warm, or... Continue Reading →
Not only did I spend a lot of my summer on a motorcycle, I spent a lot of it on local lakes and streams in my kayak as well. When it comes to how to spend my free time, I have to admit I'm a little torn. When I head out on my motorcycle and... Continue Reading →
So my dog and I discovered a new park to visit. It’s not really a new park, just one we’ve never been to together. I took her there a few weeks ago on a night when the park was deserted to see if she would follow me into the water. I have this crazy idea... Continue Reading →
The Sunday of Labor Day Weekend, I had a few things to get off my to-do list. Since they involved a lot of writing, I referred to it as my ‘homework’ since it wasn’t the fun sort of writing but more of the necessary kind. It took a few hours and a lot of brain... Continue Reading →
