Today C and I spent the day together. We dropped A off for her first day of 7th grade. Then we ran errands and got lunch at Olive Garden. C took me to the film store, but the only rolls they had left were around 60 dollars. That's more than I wanted to spend, so … Continue reading Date Day
Under the Weather
Sore throat. Headache. Racing thoughts. Sleeplessness. I am mentally and physically not feeling right. I think my mood is swinging. I could not sleep last night for hours because my mind was so intense. I ended up downloading 16 book samples in 20 min. I couldn't stop book shopping. I'm still going - on and … Continue reading Under the Weather
I Deleted my Writing/Personal Instagram
Last night I deleted my longest standing Instagram account. I have had it for at least 10 years. It was a record of my life. I decided I don't want to share my life on Instagram anymore. I kept my art account, as well as the account where I network dogs. But my days of … Continue reading I Deleted my Writing/Personal Instagram
Excellent, Creative Novel
Raptor Red is the story of a Utahraptor. It's scientifically rich, wildly imaginative, very heart stirring, and super unique. It's an entire novel told from the perspective of a female Utahraptor. Raptor Red is her name. The author truly drew me in not only with the fantastic premise, but with character development that made me … Continue reading Excellent, Creative Novel
New Color Project?
I'm excited. I've been planning a new project about color that I'm going to post on one of my other blogs. It currently houses some paintings and photos. I don't think I'll take those down, but I want to write short and spiritual nonfiction or prose poetry (and free verse) about each color, and in … Continue reading New Color Project?
Change of Plans
I'm pausing YouTube. If I restart, there will be a bible journaling/study channel and a book channel. But the whole purpose in having a channel is to raise money for my dog rescue, and I'm years away from being able to do that anyway. Plus, I don't like being on camera. I got some new … Continue reading Change of Plans
YouTube Channel Plans
Right now my little YouTube channel has 44 subs or so. I think part of my problem is that I don't have a niche. I talk about book reviews and religion and homemaking and I tell funny stuff, and bible journaling and do camera unboxings. That might just be too much. People who are interested … Continue reading YouTube Channel Plans
I Have Magazines!
There are so many kinds of magazines for different interests. Reading interesting magazines and looking at the fascinating photographs makes me feel more alive and in touch with myself. I might have downloaded two magazine apps today and gone a little crazy buying issues. Last night I didn't get to sleep until past 3 am. … Continue reading I Have Magazines!
Religious Life – a New Order
I've written before about how I long for an organization or order of lay Catholics who are creatives. I feel a tug at my heart to build a website and start something. I've been longing for some form of religious life that allows for the integration of poetry, art, composing, choreography, etc to God's honor … Continue reading Religious Life – a New Order
Adrenal
I went to the cardiologist this week. He gave me beta blockers and is going to give my heart a chemically induced stress test. But he thinks the problem is an adrenal gland tumor, so I have to do a twenty four hour urine test too. If it is a tumor, I will have to … Continue reading Adrenal
