Friday Photo Flashback

This Sunday (6/9) will mark 36 years since I graduated from high school. Coincidentally, I graduated from college with my Associates Degree 25 years later (11 years ago). I mention this because there have been so many graduation posts on Facebook over the last week or two. Many of my friends have been celebrating the … Continue reading Friday Photo Flashback →

Pondering

Every once in a while I will get blindsided by something unexpected. Recently, I was contacted by someone who was given my name as someone who "would be perfect" for a position at their company. Not much was discussed over the phone and I almost blew it off. However, a friend of mine reminded me … Continue reading Pondering →

Movie Music Monday – I’m Ready

For Movie Music Monday this week, I bring you a song from a movie that I have never seen. I want to say that I was exposed to the soundtrack while walking through a Barnes and Noble or FYE and it was playing over the speakers. I heard this neat cover of a Fats Domino … Continue reading Movie Music Monday – I’m Ready →

Book Recommendation – End of Story by AJ Finn

As you know, I love a good mystery.  I also love a mystery with a great "I didn't see that coming" moment.  My latest read had both, and when the "I didn't see that coming moment" came I was truly floored. Here is the Goodreads synopsis: “I’ll be dead in three months. Come tell my … Continue reading Book Recommendation – End of Story by AJ Finn →

Friday Photo Flashback

There is plenty to dislike about social media. I know many people who have deleted accounts because of things like political posts, advertisements, censorship of their posts and stuff like that. I, on the other hand, really enjoy social media. One of the reasons I love it is that I get to share in the … Continue reading Friday Photo Flashback →

Powerful stuff

I'm not familiar with Cody Bret, but when I came across this,  I knew I had to share... The way people view you....Sometimes I think about the different characters I play in everybody’s story.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀I’m a terrible person in some people's narratives and a Godsend in others. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀And none of it has anything to do with … Continue reading Powerful stuff →
