Be Gone Punxsutawney Phil
Day 26/366 of writing and publishing pieces in 2024. It’s a beautiful 70° here where I live today. This is a rarity for January and a huge tease. With Groundhog Day coming, it inspired me to create this meme and then this idea for a poem followed.

Chasing Clarity
Her brother had urged her to order four pairs of us, and though she was hesitant, she eventually succumbed to his advice. I, one of those pairs, knew exactly how this would unfold. It was a familiar story, one that had played out countless times before. As we were pulled out of the box, I whispered to my sibling glasses, promising to reunite with them in the next lifetime.

The Triumph over Winter's Grasp
It was snowing heavily outside, and while most of her friends were reveling in wintery bliss, Samantha couldn't help but despise the cold. Everyone seemed so moved by the glistening powder, but she was not amused. She found herself longing for the warmth of spring and summer, but whenever she expressed this sentiment, she was met with reminders of the necessary cyclical nature of seasons.

2024 The Year of The Breakthrough
Day 21/366 days of writing and publishing in 2024. When I was a child, writing was my passion. I would spend hours crafting poems and pouring my thoughts into my journal. As I entered my twenties, I found inspiration in the stories I encountered while tending bar, and I began writing short stories. The 29 years I spent in the industry provided me with countless characters and memories that fueled my creativity. During my thirties, I delved into the world of dating and even toyed with the idea of turning my disastrous experiences into a book of short stories titled "Bad Dating."

Caffeinated Cassie
Day 19/366 of writing and publishing pieces in 2024. Meet Caffeinated Cassie She grinds all day and dances all night. She likes to drink French press but at least once a week orders a red eye. She likes double espresso after dinner. She gets shit done but knows how to live fully. If you’re lucky enough to be around her energy, she’ll make you feel like you’re walking on a cloud. She lives without abandon and sucks the marrow out of each moment.

52 Contests
Day 18/366 Days of writing and publishing pieces in 2024. Towards the end of 2023, I found myself reflecting on the fruitful year I had and contemplating what I aspire to achieve in the coming year. As I looked back on the past few years, I couldn't help but recall the words I had chosen to guide me through each year. In 2021, my chosen phrase was "creative expression," and as the year drew to a close, I made a promise to myself to reconnect with my art and resume painting. In 2022, I secured a part-time job at an art studio, which allowed me to fulfill that promise.

Financial Capability: Creating a Love Affair for True Liberation
Day 17/366 Days of writing and publishing pieces in 2024. As a personal trainer/life coach I’ve been on the personal development journey for twenty plus years. And one of the areas I’ve had to clean up in my own life and now helping others has been our relationship with money. I’ve learned a lot through the years studying, examining my belief system, and learning to budget. And I’m finally starting to really feel expansion and abundance in my life. One of my big goals has been to be debt free by age 50. That’s over a year away and it looks like it’s going to happen sooner than I anticipated. So what better time to share bits of my journey on this topic than now.

Embracing Child-Free Bliss
Day 16/366 Days of writing and publishing pieces in 2024. It’s been snowing for 2 days and I’ve been revisiting old episodes of SATC. I think one of my favorite episodes is the one where Samantha throws herself an “I don’t have a baby” party. I resonate deeply with her in this episode.

Liquid Luxury
Day 15/366 days of writing and publishing in 2024. It’s a snow day today and so I’ve been lounging at home. I didn’t have to go to work. All day I’ve gone between watching old episodes of SATC (lots of martinis in this show, and sleeping.) Around 5pm I wanted something. A liquid dream of sorts. Not a problem for me because I used to design beverage programs in my former life. So I thought about what I had in the house and then this cocktail and poem unfolded. Luckily my roommate is a sommelier and so I made him one too and then we came up with the name for the drink together. This is how our entire lockdown was spent.
