Hello! As you may know, I’ve been having a hell of a time posting to this blog on a daily basis. And it’s not that I’m not taking risks daily. There’s just something about the “regularness of daily” posting that some part of me just refuses to do! A week or so ago, though, I [...]
Only how many days left in the year???
Hey, y’all – Several days ago, on Sept. 23rd, to be exact, I posted on Facebook that there were only 100 days left in 2009. Then, I posed the question, “What do you want to make sure happens this year before time runs out?” I also said that I was pondering the question, too, and [...]
062409 – What’ll be my risk for today? What’ll be yours?
There are so many possibilities for risks I can take today. Some of them probably don’t seem like risks to anyone but me. Things like eating well and going to bed at a decent hour (and putting aside the computer and turning out the light) seem like no-brainers, but alas, for me, they are not. [...]
Are you crazy or alive?
Yeah, yeah, I know. I haven’t written in a long time. The Critical Parent inside me is having a field day with that. Does yours do that to you? I hope not, because it really sucks! And the interesting thing is that it doesn’t help me post here more often. No! It actually keeps me [...]
Are You Taking Risks or Listening to the Warnings of Fear?
Back in the early 1990’s, I had the honor of performing the world premiere of a song cycle, based on the poetry of Shel Silverstein. Prior to that time, I had thought of Mr. Silverstein’s work as solely for children. And it’s true that children all over the world do love his poetry, prose, and [...]
Risking Writing About Risking Again
Hi and whew! I am finally back at my desk, beginning to see the light at the far end of the tunnel – the tunnel of getting caught up again. Yes, it’s been a while since I posted. Since we were together last, I have traveled across the country for a fabulous workshop, been toted [...]
Taking a Stand
I took a stand today, for myself, as well as for something I believe in. I co-write a column in a bi-monthly e-zine. Recently, my writing partner and I submitted an article which was criticized by the editor for being much too introspective for this particular readership. Normally, I would heed the editor’s comments and [...]
C’mon… what’s your risk for the day?
I know that sometimes it’s not easy to think of a risk – certainly not “worthy” of putting out on a blog. I have the same trouble, occasionally. But we take risks every day! I am risking being late to an appointment right now because I am not in the shower but writing to you. [...]
Risk = Blogging, and a Whole Lot More
It has come to my attention, through my obvious reluctance to post entries here (as well as the same reluctance of my readers), that blogging is scarier for me (and you) than I had thought it would be. Not that I am giving up, mind you! No; I am just noticing that it has been [...]
