We are all familiar with the 5 stages of grief- denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. We also know that everyone grieves differently and some people skip entire stages. Everyone is different. Keeping that in mind, I’m rapidly approaching the 6 month mark of working from home. I am so blessed and grateful that this was available to me. However,… Read more »
Nope, not COVID. Just a nasty sinus infection that’s kicking my ass. Stay safe everyone and I’ll be back next week!
Last week I shared a list of websites that I have been visiting to try to keep what little sanity I have left. But, I left one off. That would be YouTube. I admit, I’m late to the YouTube party. Of course I used it from time to time, but it was never on my top 10 list of websites… Read more »

Theirs isn’t a higher… Read more »

Many of us have bad memories of reading that particular work of the bard’s in school, but I digress. When it comes right down to it, names are arbitrary. It so happens my parents settled on Becky (well,… Read more »
Whether you usually come to my website directly or through social media I’m sure you’ve noticed the lack of new posts lately. I apologize for that. I was having technical difficulties with my site that apparently were caused by my hosting service. I didn’t even know that was a possibility, so I spent a lot of time and energy trying… Read more »
That might be one of my most hated phrases in the English language. Why? Because it’s EVERYWHERE right now. The Iowa caucuses are only a week away, so most of the Presidential hopefuls are making Iowa their home away from home right now as well as spending mega bucks on TV ads. I realize there are still a lot of… Read more »
Last week I had knee surgery. Going in I was hopeful that this procedure would take care of the issues I’d been having with pain and locking up, but I knew eventually even with the best possible outcome I will eventually need knee replacement. After surgery I found out that the surgeon found unexpected cartilage damage. I may have it… Read more »
