25 Years Since High School Graduation
This week marks 25 years since I walked the stage at my high school graduation. There was no bittersweetness to me. I was eager to get the heck out of high school and into the real world. Even still, it’s funny to see my face looking so childlike! I worked all through high school, usually…
Best of Me: New & Selected Poetry
This month, I published what is my 10th poetry collection. Best of Me: New & Selected Poetry marks the occasion by beginning with about 100 new poems and then picks up in part two with the best poetry from the past 20+ years. As I examined this collection I noticed something interesting. Despite honestly describing…
I Spend 4 Hours a Month Lifting Weights
It’s true. I looked through my Garmin data and I spend slightly less than 4 hours on average in the gym lifting weights. Of course, this is not to say I’m not otherwise active. And lifting weights alone does not make one “fit.” I walk, hike, bike, play with my dogs. I like to be…

Rhyme & Reason
Last month, in the hectic holiday fun of planning and celebrating Christmas and my second wedding anniversary, as well as a fun trip, I published my 9th poetry book. Yes, my 9th! I’m excited about this book. I feel like I stretched myself a bit as a writer. I went outside my box a little…
40 Days on Keto
I’ve always been someone who “starts today.” I don’t wait for tomorrow morning, Monday or New Year’s Day to implement a course correction. I do it the moment it becomes evident to me. My mom says I was even like this as a little girl (and fun fact, my husband says this quality is “hot”…
