Short Girl Day
Today is a confusing day for me. It is Short Girl Appreciation Day. I have been tall my entire life. I’ve often wondered what it would be like to be short. I guess if I were short today would be the day to appreciate me! So take time today to give some extra love to the short girls in your… Read more »
A Gift to my Younger Self
Hi 16 year old me. It’s 51 year old me. I’m writing you to tell you not to give up. I know things REALLY suck right now. You’re getting bullied as school. You don’t know where you want to go to college. Your best friend seems to hate you half the time. You feel like you are all alone and… Read more »
Something Old, Something New
There isn’t any time of year more steeped in tradition than the holiday season. The vast majority of families have things they do every year. Maybe it’s a certain meal. Maybe it’s a specific place they gather to celebrate. Maybe it’s an event like caroling or volunteering. These are things that people look forward to every year. My dad’s side… Read more »
National Personal Space Day
Even before COVID, I would have been happy to celebrate this one, but it means even more now. Today is National Personal Space Day. I did NOT grow up in a “huggy” family.

My husband is my best friend and my… Read more »
Happy Thanksgiving!
International Day of Tolerance

Our planet- and our nation- are home to thousands of different cultures/ ethnicities/ skin tones. Today we celebrate our differences and honor everyone’s right as a human being to dress, love, worship and live as they see fit. Today we… Read more »
The Last Conversation
Recently my husband asked me for my Social Security number. This isn’t too weird, but unusual enough that I asked why. Turns out it was because he was going to an informational class about preplanning his funeral/ cremation (still not 100% sure why he needed my SSN for that, but that’s neither here nor there). He’s only 57 and swears… Read more »
Men Make Dinner Day
This one’s for the ladies! It’s Men Make Dinner Day. Even if your man is as bad a cook as I am, they have one or two things they can cook. For me, it’s pot roast and pork chops. Maybe your man makes a mean pasta. Or maybe he doesn’t like to cook on the stove but is a grill… Read more »
