One Enthusiastic and Colorful Mama
I don’t know how we got to the point in our society that we believe the ultimate (and only) life goal is getting married and having kids and anything else is subpar. How did we get to a place that pitying our single friends is de rigeur and totally acceptable? How do we find it…
Wow. So it’s been some time since I last wrote to y’all out there in cyberland. I have been pretty active on my Instagram account, learning tarot, picking up a new hobby or four, and just generally bringing as much joy as I can in a world that is still locked in a pandemic and…
I was provided with tickets to see Alegría in exchange for this piece. I received no other compensation. It’s been a hell of a few years. I don’t have to tell any of you that. We’ve all experienced loss and isolation and blows to our mental health. It’s been brutal. For those of you who…

I’ve recently started a morning routine, sensing the need for some normalcy in my life now that I’m almost 40. (cough) As part of that routine (while I’m waiting for my…
I am surrounded by gluten-free people, both geographically and emotionally. My neighbors across the street, the ones across the alley in the back and a few others on the street all eat gluten-free. I have a whole cadre of gluten-free friends who visit my home on a regular basis, and our little town is jammed…
I was provided with tickets to see Volta in exchange for my review. I received no other compensation. I have been obsessed with Cirque du Soleil since seeing Alegría in 2004, (then Quidam in 2005, Kurios in 2013 and now Volta in 2018). Completely obsessed. I watch videos on YouTube of shows and stunts and…
