I think that if my dad listened Tom Petty’s “Wildflowers” he would say this is exactly what I would say to you, your sister, and your nieces. Every time I hear it, I imagine my dad telling me to do exactly as the lyrics say. I don’t know what inspired Tom Petty to write it, but I’m glad he did. And I’m even happier that … Continue reading Wildflowers
I’ve been in a mood over the last 2-3 weeks. Winter funk, blah funk, or just down…not sure, but what I am sure about was that I needed a soul cleansing. For my soul cleansing, I normally clean out the closet of crap I don’t need. Clean the house out as well, and clean out the office. Those that work with me like it when … Continue reading Strangers to Friends
There are days when you wake up and you have that feeling in your bones that it’s going to be a great day and then there are days when you wake up and you have that feeling that the world as you know it might come to end. This morning, I woke up on the thin line in between those two. Something has been bugging … Continue reading My Life Choices Are Mine
“Take another road to a hiding place. Disappear without a trace. Take another road to another time…Never look back, this is my plan…Leave my fears behind…Take my own sweet time…Ocean’s on my mind.” ~Jimmy Buffett As I sat around today reflecting, I realized that Thanksgiving has truly become The Last Holiday and with the news of my grandfather slowly slipping away from this earth, I … Continue reading Take Another Road

Who knew that last Thanksgiving would be my last Thanksgiving with my mom? Who knew it would be the last holiday I ever spent with her? Thanksgiving wasn’t a huge holiday in our family. My mom didn’t eat turkey. My dad was on the road. My sister has her in-laws, and before all that happened, we still didn’t do a traditional turkey day. Last year … Continue reading The Last Holiday
I know exactly the point in the day on Monday when it said, “Let’s kick Shelia in her imaginary balls.” It was a few minutes right after 8:30 am. I like to get to work between 8:00 to 8:15 am since it starts at 8:30 am. I get all the email I need downloaded, open the websites to admin, and get ready for the day. … Continue reading This Week
A lot of people ask me what my job is and I can never give a definitive answer because it’s a little bit of this and a little bit that…a whole lot of this and a whole lot of that. I make the station look good on site, but I have a team that helps me because I can’t be at every event so I … Continue reading My Job
It’s been a while since I last wrote. There’s 101 reasons why I’ve not written and 101 reasons more why I should have written but mostly, it has just been laziness. This site crashed and I didn’t want to even look at it or think about the blogs I had lost. I started a new project solely dedicated to my love of hockey. My iTunes … Continue reading More New Beginnings
Nothing like a crash & burn to start a new beginning… Last night, my computer crashed or just died when the battery kicked the bucket. With that death, it took 3 years worth of blogs. THREE YEARS! I tried to salvage it but in the middle of searching the Apple website on why iWeb crashed, I decided to let go. Breathe in…breathe out…move on. I’ve … Continue reading A New Beginning
