  • Writing / Speaking / Owning my Truth

    “We both have Truths, are mine the same as yours?”* A popular phrase in the last years has been “Speaking your truth”. In my house this usually elicits a loud vocal response from my husband. Something along the line of “truth is truth, you can’t have your own truth”. Last night watching, or reading something…

  • Irritants Online

    Everything is irritating me this last week. I search a lot of recipes. Mostly just for fun, occasionally I’ll twist them until three are unrecognizable and make them. What I never do is watch them on video. Stop with the YouTube Recipes! Write the damn thing down! If you have a food and or nutrition…

  • Auld Lang Syne

    Okay first I am happy that I actually knew how to spell that. Things. So many things. My family all seems to be in a state of flux again. Everyone making changes, big and small. That is always unsettling and in my roll of feeling responsible for anything and everything it adds stress to me.…

  • Okay, I know it’s only Wednesday but this has been a long and strange week. Yesterday I kept forgetting what day it was. Today I am feeling much closer to being my normal Tracy self. Tacos I grab pictures all the time to share but then a week later forget why I grabbed them. I…
