Hold on to Hope - Part 2

You see, we need each other to hold on to hope. I couldn’t have come up with that solution on my own; I needed my dad and mom to help me.

Hold on to Hope

I learned my lesson with these labradorite earrings – always wear backs on earrings even if it seems unlikely they could slip out. But I learned an even more important lesson – don’t give up.

I’m keeping the purple toaster to remind me that going slow is OK. It may even be advantageous in the long run.

Trying to control something that is not your responsibility is a waste of time and good energy.

Being in 2025

If you’re like me, the thought of having one more thing to do or one more thing to keep track of adds to the overwhelm of a full-enough schedule. And so I’m looking for a gentler way to move toward life as I think it should be lived.

Letting Go

I remember the unease I felt, getting up in the morning to darkened, dystopian skies, having to stay inside because of the smoke, and packing a “go” bag in the event we had to evacuate with minutes’ notice. One could begin to think, “What else is going to happen?”

Social Distancing

My book Nontraditional: Life Lessons from a Community College is coming out tomorrow, right on the heels of the Coronavirus, so I’m sorry to say that my book release probably will be eclipsed in the wake of a global pandemic. We’ve all learned a lot from this situation: new behavior patterns, like handwashing and toilet paper buying, and new words, like pandemic, zoonotic, and social distancing.
