My box of gratitude journals should arrive any day now. I’m very much looking forward to getting them. There are several local people I want to give them to as holiday gifts, since I don’t have enough income to get anyone anything else this year. I have $4.91 in checking and a little […]

I’m not going to be posting political stuff anymore here or on other social media, for my own mental health and sanity, and the only two sources that I suggest you subscribe to are Heather Cox Richardson’s Letters from an American and Robert Reich’s and Heather Lofthouse’s Saturday Coffee Klatch. These are both reputable people with

I’m proactively looking for part time writing gigs again. Got a two-week trial subscription to Flexjobs to see if there’s anything there, but it’s slim pickings unless the applicant has agency experience, which I don’t, unless I can claim my own company as being an agency, but I don’t think I can.

When I texted the advisor and gave her

Today I started looking for writing work in new ways. I’m abandoning Upwork (which I call Upchuck) and other freelance platforms for greener pastures, starting with LinkedIn and other avenues. The clients on the business platforms understand the value of good writers and are more amenable to paying what we’re worth, and I’m all for

Damaged American flags should be retired with honors. Here is the flag on my sister’s doorstep. She voted for Trump. The irony, it hurts. It’s a perfect reflection of what American voters decided to do to our nation (and to the world that looked up to us with some degree of admiration and respect)
This morning and afternoon Sandy King and I visited Dune Peninsula in Tacoma. It was a captivating journey: we saw at least a dozen seals, at least six orcas, blue skies, and more. I hope Sandy got some decent pix of the orcas; she has an iphone. I don’t. My smartphone is an Android. Picture
