Last time I wrote I was complaining because I couldn't write 1700 words a day. I'd decided to participate in the NaBloPoMo that takes place in November, but found it a challenge to write 1700 words per day. It was my intention to write everyday, even if I didn't hit the 1700 word mark. I made it a whole 4 days. I love blogging, I love
I've tried this before, and I'm pretty sure I petered out after a week or less, but I'm going to try again to write every day for the month of November. It is of course, Nanowrimo or National Novel Writing Month. I'm not trying to write a novel, I just want to get back into the habit of writing regularly. It's been months since I
I had my first physical therapy session for my broken shoulder today. I was eager to get started stretching and strengthening the muscles in my arm which haven't been used much in the last month. I was excited to get my range of motion back and get on with life. While I knew recovery would take some time, I figured once PT started recovery would
The Coronavirus lock down hit most of us without any warning. Even though I saw the virus coming back in December (I watch way too much Walking Dead), it never occurred to me that we'd all be sitting at home with the world pretty much shut down by March.

You've probably heard the old adage "You only get one chance to make a first impression." That saying also applies to your blog. You have mere seconds to grab your reader's attention.

It's the end of the year, the last day to be exact, so what better time to write a 2019 Year in Review post? I didn't write for my blog that much this year, and my traffic tanked because of it. I'm changing that in 2020. Still, when I did write it was usually because something big happened. Some of the big things I did
I can't be the only one whose blog traffic has dropped so significantly in the last few months, right? Has Google done some new changes to its algorithm? Surely it couldn't be because I only write a new post about once a month. Hell, I've been doing that for years. Is blogging dead? I can't believe that to be true. While I know the original
This Is Us is one of the few shows I only watch because I can't stand it anymore. I'm effectively rage watching This Is Us, and have been since about the second episode of the second season. If I wasn't rage watching This Is Us, I would have after last night's episode. *****SPOILER ALERT**** DON'T READ ANY FARTHER UNLESS YOU'VE SEEN THE EPISODE OR DON'T
I started writing this post 4 hours ago and then got an email from a client, and phone call from a client and then realized I hadn't created a newsletter for a client and remembered I had to schedule an appointment for my daughter and reschedule several other things that need to be changed due to a new appointment.... And now I have to pick
Last year Minnesota hosted the Super Bowl. Minnesota did not make it to the Super Bowl, which is no surprise. The Vikings did not make it this year either. That also is not a surprise. Odds are, your team did not make it to the Super Bowl, but you're probably still going to a Super Bowl party and you're going to need to bring something.
