TEK-ee-FEEL-ee – enjoying both sides of the brain.
I lost another good friend yesterday. Like my friend, Tony, I had known dave for a long time. Unlike my friend, Tony, dave was more regular in my day-to-day life because we worked at the same school. In fact, when I was considering taking a job at the community college, dave was who I consulted…
On August 30, 2007, I started my Twitter account using my social media name @ajwms. I’ve written about my journey with it here and in other places at my work (that have been lost…thanks ransomware) My first tweets were…um, excited? Cute? Mostly about installing software on my new Apple devices..I guess 2007 was when I…
WOWOWOWOWOWOW – It has been WAAAAAAY TOOOOOO LOOOOOONG since I have posted here. So much to catch up my (checks notes) zero readers on about my life. I retired from my “regular” job earlier this year and decided to give a good old college try (see what I did there?) at voiceover. I have been…
Back in October 2020, we were knee (maybe neck) deep in the global pandemic of COVID-19. My mother was not feeling well (not from the virus, but we learned shortly after that it was from Stage 4 pancreatic cancer) and I needed something to hang on to for a few minutes each day. I recalled…
I just discovered this poet – John Roedel – via a casual Facebook acquaintance. And, I can’t stop re-reading this poem so i wanted to put it here for safe keeping… my brain and heart divorced a decade ago over who was to blame about how big of a mess I have become eventually, they…
The sun came out today after a week or more of gray skies with little snow spitting or drizzly, cold rain. It also came out on our nation as we inaugurated the first woman as vice-president and a person who has a heart and soul as president. They aren’t perfect but they will lead and…
My last post was written right after I returned from Japan. It was a Level 2 country and the USA seemed to be avoiding the coronavirus at the time. Well, that was a different 2020. Since then, we have had fire tornados, inland hurricanes, a national reckoning with some deep and long lasting wrongs, and…
I started this year with resolutions towards improving my inner peace. I took a short retreat in January around Feldenkreis and mindfulness to kick off this work. I’m glad I did because who knew what was lying ahead in the coming months. We managed to get a trip to Japan in just before (and while)…
I went on my honeymoon earlier this month. We spent 10 days in the Netherlands – starting and ending in Amsterdam with a 5 day bicycle tour through Haarlem to the North Sea to Leiden, Bodegraven, and Utrecht. It was a good group for our Beercycling time and we had a lot of fun. Even…
I know that data is being collected about me and my actions online ALL. THE. TIME. But, sometimes that data collection can be entertaining rather than creepy. I guess if you know it is happening, that makes the difference. The annual Spotify “Your Top Songs” playlist is one example of that fun>creepy times.
