The Stuff Behind The Stuff®
What Matters (Inner Work, Outer Order, Part II)
So I put a little pressure on myself here, didn't I? If you read the last post (from further back than I'd like to admit), you might recall there was supposed to be this grand ending to the fairy tale. I suppose I could get all grumpy and matter-of-fact and remind...
Inner Work, Outer Order
Once upon a time, there was a woman who loved to learn about new stuff. She loved many things, actually - learning, people, trees, dogs, music, Halloween (well, except for candy corn 🤢), and putting things in order, to name a few. Because that last part, Order, was...
Of Puppies and Trees
This post was not the one I intended to write. About a week ago I had something different almost ready when Evernote decided somehow, in its mysterious, bloated, technological wisdom, to delete 90% of what I wrote. But I think that was as it should have been. I think...
Shaking Something Loose
You know that whole cliché butterfly effect thing that gets recycled on the internet from time to time? From Wikipedia: In chaos theory, the butterfly effect is the sensitive dependence on initial conditions in which a small change in one state of a deterministic...

There once was a young man, in a distant, sleepy village, who wanted to change. Peering into his looking-glass every morning, he was dissatisfied with whoever that guy was looking back at him, with one ear slightly higher than the other. That guy had a hard time with...
The Anti Year-End Post
The featured image has little or nothing to do with the post. I couldn't find the photo I wanted, so I went for some shameless cute factor. You're welcome. There's a lot of same-old same-old in the end of 2022 article department. Five tips here, seven ideas...
Of Grief, Angels, and Worthiness
Some of you know I had to say goodbye to Lucy the Wonderdog and Ringo the Labradorganizer last week. I had planned to rework a post in their memory - one I did a while back about how they taught me time management lessons (maybe that one will come later). I also...
Taken For a Ride
Recently my husband and I took a fast trip to Abingdon, Virginia to kick around, enjoy some theatre, and ride a portion of the Virginia Creeper trail. We were supposed to go on our obligatory Halloween/Anniversary weekend ghost tour too, but that got sidelined for a...
