Collecting Pieces of Me

*carpe diem*

  • Friends

    I am so grateful for my friends. I am fortunate to know and love so many intelligent, caring, curious people. I’ve just returned home from a book discussion (Firekeeper’s Daughter – it’s incredible!! Highly recommend). The discussion was lovely. One woman brought Boba tea and made individual cups for each… Read more

  • Write!

    That seems like the ONLY thing that I did NOT do yesterday, write! I haven’t been writing this blog very long but I missed it yesterday! I look forward to writing! The little icon “write” that I see in the upper, right corner of my WordPress interface. Few things feel… Read more

  • Moving Is SOOOO Stressful!!

    Moving has always made me itchy! I can remember my first ever! I was three and my parents and my newborn, baby sister and I moved from our home in one Detroit suburb to another Detroit suburb. Given that the year was 1979, you will NOT be surprised to learn… Read more

  • I Am Excited About My Job Again!!

    I work in what – in the business – is referred to as “graduate medical education” which, for you ley people, is “medicine”. Specifically, I am an admin for a medical residency program. I work with a lot of REALLY, REALLY smart people. I just started this job a few… Read more

  • The Most Exhausting Day ALL Year . . . And it’s been quite a year

    I only have, just enough, energy to take a bath and crawl into bed. I feel more exhausted and also more at ease than I have in a very, very long time. Good night:-/ Read more

  • Show and Tell

    I am so excited! I figured out how to add photos 🙂 Which is important because I want to show the shelves that I installed yesterday. One is a success. The other? Let’s consider it a good start, shall we!? I am creative, I am not, what you might call,… Read more

  • I Get to Write Again – Yay!!

    I woke UP excited about this blog:-) It’s been on my mind all day. I’ve held it up as a “reward” in my mind: “If you finish organizing your office, you can write.” I feel similarly to when I was writing my grandfather every day, but better even. My grandfather… Read more

  • It only took 22 years!!

    I just spoke to my friend, Adam. I’ve known him since we were in middle school. We were in church youth group together. In high school we sat across from each other in keyboarding class. Mrs. Conway, our teacher, was as old school as they come! Each student had their… Read more

  • My Body Is So Needy! ALL. THE. TIME.

    I want to get outside, ride my bike, walk with a friend. But, I’m hungry! This needy body! It seems as though I’ve ignored my basic needs so long that if tune in to myself, even just for a song, I’m pulled into the mire. There’s an abyss and I… Read more

  • Hmmmm?!?

    I’ve considered blogging for several months. I want to jump into this web and by jump I mean tentatively dip a toe while TELLING myself that this is one of the scariest things I’ve done – it’s not! It’s late for suburbia. Hmmmmmm . . . How vulnerable to be?!?… Read more
