It’s the way I swipe to my call log, ready to select you from “most recent.” It’s the way I catalog funny or maddening things from my day, ready to tell you about all of them. It’s the way I can’t start driving without tearing up, since car time meant “call Nana time.” It’s the…

Just Thoughts #?
Hi, again. It has been a few seasons and many moons since I’ve typed anything for this blog. And I felt now is as good of a time as any to freewrite. When I started this blog, I wanted to share my ideas and words in a space that wasn’t regulated, around the theme of…
An Autumn Reflection
Rustling. Fading. Bursting. Swirling. I feel such an affinity with autumn’s leaves as they fade from green to red, red to orange, and eventually to brown on their final withering days. I, too, change colors. Mood. Feeling. My mind goes through seasons. Seasons of spring, blooming with fresh ideas and hope. Seasons of winter where…
Coffee Thoughts #5
Hi! It’s been over two months since my last post, which, again, is embarrassing. I don’t like a digital footprint tracking my procrastination. And yet here I am, slogging along. The more I force myself to write even when I don’t want to, the better my writing will be for it, right? Or something like…
Coffee Thoughts #4

Coffee thoughts #3
A fresh post for today, almost a month after my last. My first cup is still kicking in, so excuse the fumbling. There are good writing days and bad ones. Today is leaning towards the latter. It’s important to write on days when I’m not feeling it. Like a fresh cup of coffee, the beginning…
Coffee thoughts #2
My second ‘coffee thoughts’ post is brewing now! This one’s a little darker. It’s something I’ve needed to write about for a while but have been putting off. I’m going back to the books on the nightstand, and moving from the bottom of the pile to second-book status. Being the bottom book on the pile…
Coffee thoughts #1
This is my first ‘coffee thoughts’ post. I’ll try to do these frequently–quick, little freewrites to perk up my writing first thing in the morning. Hopefully it’s entertaining for you! How do you know when it’s time to change? If you’re lying in bed, feeling like the weight of all your past choices is crashing…
The first.
It has been on my mental couch with its feet up for about a year now, making itself comfy with my uncomfortableness. The best way to get it to put its shoes on and leave is to do this–write. So thank you if you’re here, fully reading or simply browsing. This is the first time…
