Resolutions

Have I wished you a happy new year? Apologies if I haven’t. It’s been a long 15 days. Whew! That’s a statement, huh? I want to be able to comprehend it all in a way that doesn’t disturb me or my peace of mind. I must say that nothing out of the ordinary is wrong.Continue reading “Resolutions”

Cancelation of the Parenting Agreement

A running theme now a days is about protecting your own peace AT ANY COST. It demands that every one around you must respect your boundaries and your peace. I have noticed that this isn’t without casualties. I’ve spoken with all too many parents and grandparents who have been “blocked” from their children’s lives. IContinue reading “Cancelation of the Parenting Agreement”

Pause for a station break 🙂

I am now also on Wattpad , writing as Rupert Flagg. (“Josie’s Chronicles.”) My novel, Sitting on the Edge of a Dream” can be purchased wherever fine books are sold. (I enjoy saying that.) Check me out. Leave a comment or two.

Feliz Navidad and a couple of trumpy bears.

This year, we celebrated on Christmas eve. We had our family meal. It was a Spanish theme, tamales, arroz con pollo, menudo, roasted corn, (it was boiled, but I choose to remember it as roasted), tacos, etc, etcetera, et cetera. Now I’m chilling on the couch watching the kids graze. They eat, play and eatContinue reading “Feliz Navidad and a couple of trumpy bears.”

Ten things, er Five things no one tells you about parenting

There are times when I envy my childless acquaintances. They will never know the agony of it all. I’ve been praying. I’ve been pondering and I now understand why my mom wanted me to be a single, free, accomplished woman. I used to think that she was wrong in her disappointment of my choice toContinue reading “Ten things, er Five things no one tells you about parenting”

One ship left

I used to watch my kids play video games. Their games are far more complicated than any of the games I grew up playing, and they don’t have to leave home play. They experience the highs and lows of game play in the comfort of their own space. I suppose that that’s why the anxietyContinue reading “One ship left”

No, no, no, I want a do over

Man, I saw a post asking what I’d tell my 15 year old self, if given the chance. Many things cross my mind, but the main thing would be that I am loved. And just before the moment was over, I’d tell myself who not to trust. It would be excellent if we could haveContinue reading “No, no, no, I want a do over”

Let he who is without sin…

I heard about the T. D. Jakes thing and it made we question my Christianity. I know from my studies that Jesus didn’t spend time with the church of his day unless he was teaching and the Bible gives us only one account of that instance. The other time was in anger and the otherContinue reading “Let he who is without sin…”

Buenos dias!

Yes, it’s even a moment since I’ve written and this will be very short. Shorter than I like, however, you can find me on Anchor.

Pet Owner Fatigue

My dog is almost 12 years old. We’ve had her since she was six weeks old. She barks at odd hours of the night. She wants out. She wants in. She wants to be in different areas of the house… her fav place used to be in the garage, but now she’s just not happyContinue reading “Pet Owner Fatigue”
