Deadlines and dreaming cats.

 Who doesn't love an @bklibancats? I'm taking a quick posting break from my *almost* finished, due to submit by Friday, story in progress to share a little dreaming cat nap. That'll be me, once I hit send on this story. Who wants to cheer me on?

Behind the scenes of Stormy Weather.

 Happy snowy Tuesday, my friends. Yes, you heard that right.It’s a snowy day here at Chez Munder. I spent a lot of time on my phone’s weatherapp yesterday, checking out the snowfall predictor and hour by hour forecastand comparing it with the view outside my window. Because, honestly, thetechnology is pretty darn cool and I’m not just talking about the background imageon the app which has

The power of data. We aren't robots. We are human. It's okay.

 April's motivation is both an oldie and a goodie. You've seen this posted here before, and, as things turn out, you'll probably see it posted again. It's a reminder I struggle to keep front and center and a lesson I strive to learn. We are not robots. We are human. We ebb. We flow. Either state of being is okay and both are necessary to our well-being.This reminder is needed on my end because Q2

What are you reading this week?

 I'm working on my Q1 review and reflection and feeling somewhat grumpy and out of sorts at my (perceived) lack of progress. As a way to avoid feeling uncomfortable emotions (hey, noticing unhelpful coping behavior is the first step), also poking at my TBR list and feeling somewhat grumpy and out of sorts at that, as well. Soooooo, I'm reaching out to see what y'all are reading? What's tickled

Exploring Links of Interest - TheBody.com

I'm continuing my exploration of some of the links on my Links of Interest page on my blog and website with a trip back to the 1980s. Do you remember the days of big hair and bigger shoulder pads? I sure do. But the decade is also remembered for another reason: the growing awareness of HIV/AIDS. My experiences with HIV/AIDS came from two directions: membership in the LGBTQ+ community and exposure

This week's #OntheKindle

 Yep. I'm taking a break from my writing, decluttering, and massive avoidance of all the hard work making up both those projects for a reading break. Helped along by this book gifted me by a dear friend:It doesn't get any more perfect than that. Receiving this was a definite high point to my week and I appreciate Amazon's ability to let us gift books to each other. Do you know someone have a

Behind the Scenes of The Scenic Route.

 Spring is in the air, and with it, at least in Michigan, comes the long-awaited start of road trip season. Maybe it's the welcome end to the snow and cold that sends thousands of Michiganders into their cars and out on the to the freeways. It's certainly not the state of our roads.  Our inconsistent freeze and thaw cycles means spring is also the start of pothole season.There's something about

March! #monthlymotivation

And, yes! Did I try a lot in February! 😉Happy March, my friends. Can you believe it? Hopefully, your February was a bit more eventful than mine. I could give you all kinds of story, but I didn't do the work and it shows in my results. Were there good reasons for the lack of focus? Probably. But all emotions and excuses aside, I made decisions to do things other than what I had planned.Like my

Exploring Links of Interest - SageUSA.org

 It's a quick Tuesday post today as I am, once again, battling the mindset of being behind. I'm continuing my exploration of the Links of Interest page available on my blog and website with one of my favorites:Honestly, I don't even know where to start with how awesome this organization is. The best way to tell you is to ask you to go to their website: https://www.sageusa.org/ and explore for
