Madonna has done it multiple times throughout her 40-year career as a singer. Back in April MTV reported that she has a legacy of reinvention. At 68, she’s releasing a brand new album that’s completely different from everything she’s ever done. I, too, feel the need for constant reinvention. Whether it’s a haircut, new glasses,…

Recurrence. It happens almost every Friday night. With out fail. We say we’ll have leftovers, Go to bed early. Yet, here we sit. Ordering out. Binge watching Netflix. We’re so predictable. ❤

Today, I had to rearrange the flowers Keck brought me the other day. A few of them were starting to lose their oomph. As I rearranged them, I thought about how Keck heard me when I didn’t think he was listening. For my mom’s 75th birthday party, I had scoured the local big box store…

It never ceases to amaze me how “re” words come to me. Yesterday, it was bumping into a friend at a cooler spot than my electricity-less home to work. Today, it was scrolling through LinkedIn and reading a post my friend John liked and the comments. John’s message is all about travel balance and how…

The ugly bird of prey may seem like nothing but a garbage truck with a 7-and-a-half to 9-foot wingspan, but they’re really so much more beautiful than that. I’m giving them a second look. I’ve been reading…

Resolve means to reduce by analysis or to make clear or understandable. At least that’s what Merriam-Webster says. Keck and I were talking about resolving things at dinner. We’d been listening to a book called Range: Why Generalists Triumph in a Specialized World. The book presents the idea that specialization kind of stiffles creativity. We…

Have you ever had something register with you? As in, that finally clicked into place? One meaning of that word in Merriam-Webster is  “a condition of correct alignment or proper relative position.” It’s almost a form of recognition but it goes a little further than that. I registered this when I was reading Madeleine L’Engle’s,…
