Out of Service Area

I was recently reminded of how much we rely on technology, specifically our cell phones. My current cell phone has really been malfunctioning lately. Calls cut off randomly, internet is spotty when I’m not home and my GPS fails to load at times. If you know me, then you know I’m directionally challenged. So, not […]

Always Read the Fine Print

It has started to become a tradition that I buy myself a pair of shoes every year for my birthday. I love shoes that not only look great but are also very unique. I found a pair of shoes from one of my favorite brands and used my loyalty coupons to get a great deal […]

Hairline Fracture

It’s the start of a new year. For some of you, it’s an attitude of “new year, new me”. For others, you may have already fallen off the bandwagon of your new year’s resolution. You’re not alone. I’ve been there before too. A few days before the new year, a piece of furniture that I […]

Driving Past My Former Self

I did it. I barely made the cut but I voted today. However, it wasn’t an easy ordeal. I moved earlier this year, which placed me in a different county. I submitted my new voter registration card and assumed I was set for early voting. Wrong. I was listed in Suspense status, which meant there […]

How Much Does It Weigh?

The average adult heart weighs between 8 and 10 ounces. It’s fascinating how something so light is one of the most important organs of our body. I recently finished the book The Seven Decisions by Andy Andrews. Andy speaks about having a “light heart” in the last chapter of the book. The gears in my […]

Luxury Ain’t Cheap

If you’ve read my last blog, you know I ran over a random piece of copper in the road that busted my gas tank. I know. What are the chances of that? Fast forward to the rental car I was given while my car was being repaired. I expected something of lesser value than my […]

Let’s Not Start a Fire

One of my biggest pet peeves is being thrown off my schedule. There’s something to be said for the element of surprise but I don’t need it when negatively alters my plans. I drove down I-45S headed to Houston for Father’s Day weekend. It was just before 9:00pm, dark and a fairly open road with […]

Judge Me By My Cover

“You must be sensitive because you’re a poet”. This is a common perception people have of me. Sometimes they’re right. Sometimes they’re wrong. It can be so easy to fall into the expectations of others without truly knowing who we are inside. The creative person (artist, author, musician, etc.) is one that is often misunderstood. […]

….But Don’t Push Me

Why do people insist on pushing people with chill attitudes? If there was ever a walking billboard for “Don’t let the smile fool you”, I would be the advertisement. Even as I’m writing this blog today, I had to professionally (as best as I could) let someone know they were stepping way out of bounds […]

I Shoulda Pulled Out

Alright, so it’s not what you think. I’m sure some of you reading this may have a few instances where you wished you pulled out, but we’ll save that for another day. When I mention pulling out figuratively, there are more than a handful of situations where I did the opposite. The older I get, […]
