I'm Not Whining
Every "win" for me may seem trivial to you, but for me, they mean I have conquered battles that others don't see. The fights I have with fibromyalgia, grief, fixed income, and old age are all too real in my world. And I'm not special at all because I know others have unseen battles, as well. So, this is for you, too!

One Hard Thing
Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: You have the number, you know your schedule- you’ve even picked out the perfect day and time to make this appointment. Shoot, you’ve even picked out alternative days and times just in case their schedules can’t accommodate you!

Looking back: 2025 was a beast
It's difficult to know how to start this. I've suggested that it's been a tough one from my title and in many ways, it has; however, there is an argument that it's not been that extraordinary at all, merely this wonderful thing we call "life" with all its climaxes and pitfalls.

Beating the booze
'Beating the booze' may be an exaggeration. All I have done is to come up with a new approach to cutting down my alcohol intake. Why? Am I a drunk, an alcoholic, a problem drinker? No, to at least two of these questions and 'not really' to the other. I will admit that I drink more than is strictly healthy so that, from time to time, I make attempts at cutting down my alcohol intake. Some are quite successful... for a while at any rate.

A Moment of Calm at the Farm with a drowning wasp !
A pig slept on warm hay, as if the world stood no chance against its slumber. Its back was turned towards me. His safety was never questioned. But who am I, and should I ever be trusted? It doesn’t matter because that pig had a safe home and would never be evicted. Eaten, but never evicted.

Hidden Risks in Real Estate: Why Title Issues Are Killing Deals and How to Catch Them Early
Buying property should feel exciting, but hidden problems can stop a deal in its tracks. One of the biggest reasons deals fail is because of title issues. Many buyers and sellers do not see these problems until it is too late. That is why hidden title problems in real estate need attention from the very start. When people understand how title issues are killing deals, they can act early and avoid costly surprises.

When you lose everything, you find yourself
When You Lose Everything, You Find Yourself There is a moment — and if you have lived long enough, you have felt it — when the ground beneath your feet simply disappears. It might happen in a single phone call. It might happen slowly, over months, like water carving through stone. One day you look around and the life you built, the person you loved, the job you defined yourself by, the health you took for granted, the dream you sacrificed for — it is gone. And you are left standing in the ruin of what used to be, wondering how you are supposed to breathe through something this heavy.

The Outlier
The smallest victory I ever saw in a university happened on a Thursday. If that sounds like I am making a shrine of it after the fact, that is exactly the sort of dishonest inflation professors are good at when we want our own memories to come out looking wiser than they were.

Clean, Not Always Tidy
There was a time when housework was simple. You saw something that needed doing, and you did it. Cleaning was a task. Tidying was a habit. Order was something you could create and maintain without thinking too much about the cost.
