This weekend found me trafficking bags at a holiday boutique. Financial success--not so much. Spiritual success--you be the judge. Serendipity struck as two amazing people fell into my life from out of the blue. A welcome respite to the asshats from the IRS lurking in the shadows circling for another piece of nothing. Or the… Continue reading Serendipity Strikes

The Bitch is Back
A public twitter reprimand can piss a girl off. That girl might be me. I may have been admonished, publicly, in the twittersphere, by an agent. I may have turned a shade of scarlet at the rebuke, but girlfriend does not fully realize with whom she's messed. She dissed a widow. We are a group… Continue reading The Bitch is Back

I am rather thankful as I chat with my girlfriends that I am not… Continue reading Merry, Merry Menopause
