One last post 🧜🏻‍♀️⚓️👩🏼‍💻🥀

Well, not really a big lead up with that title: This is my last post. I started this blog just shy of three years ago, and I’ve covered a lot of ground between then and now. From processing my feelings on the toxic ex of a then new partner, all the way up to herContinue reading “One last post 🧜🏻‍♀️⚓️👩🏼‍💻🥀”

I did a thing …Again

Here we are…It’s that nostalgic end of the year wrap when you can’t help but look back and see how the year in the rear view measured up. This is not some collective 2022 in review, I’ll leave that to those with a broader understanding of what’s what in the bigger picture. This is justContinue reading “I did a thing …Again”

Ship’s Log…

Day before setting sail After a few small sails close to home, and a month of staying aboard our new (to us) dreamboat at the dock, it is time for our true maiden voyage. The plan is not an overly ambitious one. We leave tomorrow and spend the day sailing to Block Island. The courseContinue reading “Ship’s Log…”

Bad Motives of a motherless child…

I sit in bed writing this with sleepy eyes, sipping coffee I screwed up and made too weak. I’m particularly tired because I’ve been up for hours after my sleep was unexpectedly interrupted. My sleep is frequently interrupted by an 80lb German Shepard who likes to be let out for a pee in the middleContinue reading “Bad Motives of a motherless child…”

Part II of the year in review. The best of the best …

September. Unpausing the pause …..Medication finished for the tick borne illness, baby steps into the sun, still feeling a little dazed and confused from the lingering symptoms, but time to make the grand return to work. “Work” << that’s the word old me would have normally followed up immediately and with an obnoxious amount ofContinue reading “Part II of the year in review. The best of the best …”

A year in the life of…

Now that I am shaking off my case of writers block, or returning from sabbatical, however I feel like framing this non writing time frame, I can’t help but feel that one of the biggest missed opportunities is not to have written any type of assessment at all on the changing of the year. NoContinue reading “A year in the life of…”

Love Floats ❤️

I didn’t always love boats. Just the opposite really…For a long time I hated them! Well maybe not them, but certainly the feelings they evoked. My very first boating experience was with a group of drunken adults, who even at my tender toddler age I knew were not fit to be keeping me safe. PerhapsContinue reading “Love Floats ❤️”

High heels, a gun, and a bible

Some teenage girls have best friends and cliques. I had accomplices. Amanda, was one of my steadfast teen partners in crime. She and I covered a lot of ground in the years we ran together. At any given moment we found ourselves on one end of Long Island or the other and anywhere in between,Continue reading “High heels, a gun, and a bible”

A writer, a musician, and a photographer walk into a bar….

But wait did they? None of them drink, and though they certainly had their fair share of comedic times, it’s not a joke ….Let me start again …A writer, a photographer, and a musician spent a beautiful summer sailing through a global pandemic….but wait again, that’s not the beginning of the story, it’s the middle.Continue reading “A writer, a musician, and a photographer walk into a bar….”

Nothing quite like a Mother’s love …A slightly different kind of story about a Mom 🖤

Squeezing between bodies as I made my way to the back of the bar, I brushed up against a tall lean figure standing with his back to me. He turned in my direction and as I glanced up I found myself locked into the wild eyed stare of an infamous local legend. I stumbled allContinue reading “Nothing quite like a Mother’s love …A slightly different kind of story about a Mom 🖤”
