Seems there are a lot of people who want to get to know me better and send me Canadian medications through the U.S. mail. Really, these people must be very lonely. I feel bad for them. I’m thinking of visiting them personally so they can know firsthand the warm connection of real human interaction. I…Continue Reading

This PROMPT is lifted entirely from my friend Eden’s brain. Eden (I call her Stephanie) is the founder and editor of an amazing literary journal, AND the creator of a fiction workshop that I signed up for and didn’t finish. (More on that last part later.)

Stuff I Like
This is my semi-annual and infrequent “Stuff I Like” post that I write every so often to fill up the blank spaces in my mind. That’s right. Today? I can’t think of a darn thing to write. Other than this. Still. These things, this “stuff I like” really moves me. All these items were…Continue Reading
P.S.
Notes: 1. I lied. I will tell you: I was on San Diego Channel 6‘s Saturday morning news. There is no link though, thank the Lord in His starry heaven above. 2. The “Lia Sophia jewelry rep lady” is Elizabeth (link here). 3. I never actually said the names of the products I demo’d…Continue Reading

Almost
Since I’ve been thinking lately about boundaries, I thought I’d explore the serious side. As a woman who never learned to set personal boundaries, I’ve paid a price.

The Anemia Made Me Do It
So this woman I barely know, whose daughter was my daughter’s daycare buddy for a year in 2006, calls me out of the blue a few months ago and leaves me a message that sounded semi-urgent. “Hi Debbie, it’s Betsy. Can you call me back?” So I do, even though we’ve never spoken…Continue Reading
