Fight or Flee

Today, I feel weary from the efforts of trying to learn from a haphazard training method. In a very regulated workplace, everything I touch, everything I type has my signature, my initials, my something. I’m constantly leaving a paper or electronic trail during my workday. Every flaw is 100 times magnified and broadcast even more…

Jamesport, MO Part 1.

I took a quick day trip to Jamesport, MO about 90 miles Northeast of Kansas City. I knew that Jamesport was an Amish community who lived a simpler way of life and handmade many artifacts, crafts and materials. So on a whim, I booked a room and yesterday after lunch, I hit the road and…

The Introvert’s Dilemma

Many introverts, myself included, greatly enjoy solitary activities. I mean what’s not to enjoy: time to unwind and re-charge, solitude, a good book or walk, a cup of tea, a favorite program, a cozy nook, a comfortable bed..the list is long. All this is much appreciated especially at the end of a work week. What…

Impromptu

So usually I have very elaborate travel plans for my birthday which falls on August 19. I have often been able to take a week or more off from work and spend 3 or 4 nights away. I’ve traveled to the Ozarks, Colorado, Arizona, Nairobi, Oklahoma, Utah and New Mexico for my birthday in past…

Karibu! karibu chai.

Welcome! Welcome to tea. That’s the welcome given to most everyone who knocked on our door when we were growing up in Nairobi, Kenya. When we were younger, one of us would be sent off to the kiosk to buy milk and bread, and perhaps sugar if there was none in the house. Infact guests…

One goal

I can’t understand why every single day, my room looks like it just got hit by a natural disaster. Every Single Day And every evening, there I am having to do major clean up..what gives?? https://dailypost.wordpress.com/prompts/disastrous/

The best words

I shall not claim to have the best words as a recent presidential candidate did. But there’s a thing about words: how beautiful and eloquent they are, how they spring to your mind, how perfectly suitable a specific word can be. I remember reading the dictionary as a young girl and not as homework either….

Daily Prompt: Pluck

Usually, I arrange my work clothes for the next day before I go to bed. Yesterday, I felt tired and a little lazy and decided I would just do it in the morning. In an effort to beat traffic, I leave the house pretty early. So I’m rushing and I just plucked a shirt out…

An insomniac’s hurray!
