The other day, I wrote a stream of consciousness poem that revealed to me that I need to handle aging with more grace and a greater sense of hope. It was absolutely bleak. On Friday, a kind older gentleman stopped by the house to deliver something I'd bought from him. We ended up chatting, and … Continue reading Aging

The Creative Calling and the Trad Wife
Being a traditional wife, or trad wife, can be open a world of creative opportunity. My number one goal is to be a good wife and a good mother, but I also have a creative calling. I'm a poet who dabbles in nonfiction, short horror, and short science fiction. However, though literature was my mind's … Continue reading The Creative Calling and the Trad Wife
Nice Day
Today A had a birthday party to go to. We drove her 40 minutes there, and then C and I went out to lunch just the two of us. Our sweet exchange student L had chosen to stay home, so C and I got to go on a date. When we got home, C went … Continue reading Nice Day
The Tiktok Outrage is Pathetic
40 year old women doing stupid dance routines. Book recommendations for books that have already been read by anyone even vaguely interested in them. Life coaches who live in their mom's basement promising you a life of success if you just listen to them (and pay handsomely). What do all these moronic things/people have in … Continue reading The Tiktok Outrage is Pathetic
TikTok Ruins Minds
On my soapbox. I'm sick of Tiktok and what it's doing to us as Americans and the human race more broadly. It's destroying intellect and attention spans. It keeps people divided and fills their minds with trash. It keeps them locked in echo chambers.As a poet, I follow a lot of indie authors. I really … Continue reading TikTok Ruins Minds

We chatted nonstop for 6 hours. It was glorious! We talked a lot about the future and upcoming changes for the … Continue reading Wonderful Day With my Man
Democrats Are Sore
""But muh rights!" It's sickening the number of women I have seen online today who are upset about Trump winning because they fear they won't be able to snuff the life out of their own children. It's horrifying. They find the idea of not banging every dude that will give them five minutes of his … Continue reading Democrats Are Sore
No
How much would you pay to go to the moon? I don't want to go to the moon because it's dangerous, and it's not worth potentially losing years of life with my family that I love. I wanted to go to other planets when I was younger, but that was before I found love and … Continue reading No
3 Things
What have you been working on? Mental health. I am working in self care to help me through a few rough weeks of mood swings. My MFA. It's not a real MFA. It's a self designed program meant to improve me as a writer and creative. Although I get no degree in the end, I … Continue reading 3 Things
Young Men
If you had a million dollars to give away, who would you give it to? One idea I have for what I'd do with a million dollars to give away is start a college fund/business fund for young men who want to go into medicine or engineering or create start ups. There are so many … Continue reading Young Men
