break routine

 This one is long, but today I have to break the routine….  Remember when everyone got email and MSN messenger….like EVERYONE!

That morning…

The pain of yesterday makes life sooo much SWEETER today!

  Almost exactly on this day a few years ago, this early edition of "Happy Friday" went to a very small mailing list. Very small.

"Relax" - Sketch by Oona D. Mulkey (2008)

One morning this week I was messaging my trainer at 6am (I am NOT a morning person, the struggle continues) …I remember telling him how I felt fine but work was really wearing me out. My mind instantly went on Oona. I was supposed to get in touch with Oona over a week ago. But life was … [Read more...]

Telling Myself the Truth

truth magnifying glass

We present ourselves to the world every day in many ways. In person: at work, school, with family; online and in various ways through our phones. What we present is usually a much more "put together" appearance/version of our true selves. Think about it...and then ask yourself, stripped of all … [Read more...]

I’m so appreciative and thankful for all the love.   My mom sent a bromeliad (apparently I don’t have the greenest thumb) and a very large tray of candies to my office as a surprise. Yayyy!
