i don’t need to reinvent the wheel, i just need to keep that wheel rolling.
i have a huge, huge, HUGE crush on a new man. it’s my first crush since separating from my husband a year ago. my separation has been a dark, grim time in life.

today's insight
i have plenty of realists in my life. it’s the dreamers i am in need of. i don’t need solutions. i need help hoping, hopeful helping, and a gajillion, “you know what? it’s all gonna be okay”s.

as i slowly pack up my beloved bungalow and all the journals it holds, i am reminded of some of dad’s favorite quotables. specifically, i can think of a dozen pivotal, challenging moments in my life that...
