Pick Me! Pick Me!
Wednesday I had an interview. I answered all the questions asked of me expertly. Asked the interviewer some pretty good questions as well. Actually had stumped her with a few of them. Came across that I was an authority on how to raise funds in this challenging economy. And during said interview, I felt as […]
Crashing Burnout
Interviews are stress bombs. You hunger for the opportunity to nab one. You prepare for hours, days to do well on one. On the day of, you feel a pit in your stomach. What will they ask? What will I say? Am I desperate? Overeager? Overqualified, under qualified? And when it ends, you stress even […]
My Friend, AI
She looks pretty cool, doesn’t she? That’s my new friend, AI-mie, the newly-generated woman that the WordPress image generator drew up for me. She totally looks like she has it going on, in a somewhat decaying urban setting. Ready for action, AI-mie will jump into any fray, with a cool head and a thirst for […]
Not This Again…
The writing was on the wall, but I was so busy that I didn’t notice until it was too late. My boss and I had quite a conversation on our weekly meetup call. We both work remotely, so every Monday we’d have a half-hour talk about tackling the projects I’d been assigned. On this particular […]
Resignation
Setting Off On My New Life Journey Because my new position will be at a nonprofit, I had to go through several rounds of approval before I was hired. First, it was the finance committee.

A Slight Case Of Freaking Out
I’m reaching that point in my life where I’m trying to have a little faith in myself and my abilities. It’s been rough, if you’ve read this blog. And I’ve sure been trying awfully hard to turn my life around. It’s had its fits and starts, but lately I’ve been on something of an upswing. […]
Heavenly Sign
An actual cloud spotted today on the way to my writers’ group meeting I think Mother Nature is trying to tell us all something…or at least me. Today my friend and I were driving to my writers’ group meeting and as we both looked up, there it was. A cloud shaped like a heart. It […]
Oh, To Dream Again…
Once again, I’ve been away from writing this blog. But this time, I’ve been busy in a good way. Sure, I’ve had my emotionally down times, but I seem to be edging closer to a brush with happiness. For one, I have a freelance job in the arts. It’s as part time as you can […]
The End of The Beginning
What a couple of weeks it’s been! That’s mainly why I haven’t written in ages. And where do I even begin? Let’s start with the car. I had a trusty, faithful Hyundai Santa Fe since 2013. That thing’s been everywhere. Took it on an amazing road trip from New York State up to St. John’s, Newfoundland. […]
Transitions
It’s July. Kids just got out of school. Summer is upon us! It’s July. And the retail industry says, “Kids will go back to school soon! Summer’s over!” So here I am, in Phipp’s, pulling down all of the shady patio umbrellas, deck furniture, picnic tables, beach chairs, casual dining ware and all other accoutrements […]
