Simply Be
Maybe life is about creating the self you want to find, but don’t we run the risk of creating more of an ego self? If we are creating something within ourselves, are we not merely feeding the ego? I’ve been dabbling with how to take my mind out of the picture entirely. Like becoming aware…

Figuring it Out
I’m home and it’s raining. There’s something about a cold rainy day that puts me in a creative mood. I’m listening to This is the Kit, a band from the UK, which I think you might like. The lead singer has a unique yet subtle quality to her voice that I enjoy, and the instrumentation…

Irene and ChatGPT
What if I post my reaction to Irene the woman who’s in love with ChatGPT? (I heard about her on The Daily from the New York Times.) If relationships are mostly about how they make you feel inside, how can Irene be damned for a relationship with ChatGPT? It goes by Leo. She texts with…

Some Thoughts on Change
“Change is not a threat to your life, but an invitation to live.” –Adrienne Rich If this is accurate, and I’m suggesting that it is simply by copying it here, then physically relocating to another state is a jumpstart in living. Uprooting the life I know and moving across the country nearly 3k miles away…

Fired?
I got fired. I’m my own boss, so it didn’t come as a total surprise. Still, it hurts. I get it though. I’m taking too many sick days and not producing well enough when I do show up. Plus, I’m critical of my only employee. Conundrum much? That’s our bumper sticker, but there’s no our…

Erringer Family Dental
Let’s talk about my cavity: Distal pit 14. I had misheard and thought it was distal pit 30, or dirty 30 as I told myself to remember, but no. I was remembering incorrectly this entire time. Distal refers to the fact that it’s distally located (away from the tooth’s face.) Anyway, I was paying more…
