What I’m Cookin’ Up

It’s so nice to be free to use a car and walk again. I am particularly enjoying some time at home alone to cook up some food for my upcoming week watching my buddy Oliver in Vincennes. Today in particular I made a full pan of chicken and veggie enchiladas, with green sauce, of course.…

Steps to Build Your Emergency Preparedness Plan Today

What a fascinating idea for a topic to write about. I have been in charge of a group of women in my church for 2 years and my theme last year was emergency preparedness, on all sides of the spectrum. We talked about emotional, spiritual, and physical preparation. We started the year 2024 with canning…

Squeaky Wheel Syndrome

Let’s talk about the squeaky wheel for a minute.We all know the saying: “The squeaky wheel gets the grease.” But let’s be real—sometimes, the squeaky wheel just gets exhausting.

Not my Circus, not my Monkeys: Well Sorta

Career Plan you say? Oh, really? Right now, it feels like I’m part of my own 7 ring circus. This is definitely my circus, and these monkeys? They’re on my back, in my inbox, and somehow messing with my résumé formatting. Instead of simply submitting an application, I’m now performing keyword gymnastics—carefully stuffing in every…

Why Community Involvement Matters: Especially when You are Struggling

We all know that one neighbor who mysteriously disappears when the neighborhood clean-up  begins, but shows up right on time for the potluck.  Don’t be that person. Being active in your community isn’t just about free snacks—it’s about creating connections, making a difference, and ensuring that when you lock yourself out of the house, someone actually cares enough to help. Why Bother Getting Involved? Sure, you could just stay home binge-watching TV, but here’s what community involvement does for you (other than giving you an excuse to leave the house): ✅ Make New Friends – You never know, the person you meet at a local event might have the secret to keeping houseplants alive. ✅…

Time for Learning

Playing Catch-up

Guys, I’ve made it through 38 years without seeing some of the most iconic movies. Ya know, the ones where if you admit you haven’t seen it, everyone gasps. This year I’ve watched the following movies all the way through for the first time: **Cue gasps** Jurassic Park Serenity * maybe not gasp worthy? Beetlejuice…

Teach Me Economics

I know this is literally one of the most hot-button topics in the world right now, but I would genuinely be very interested to understand how all the moving parts in the economy work to make prices and what regulations and things are in place to help the consumer. I feel when I search for…
