That I am Smart AND Intelligent

What was the best compliment you’ve received? What’s the difference? Smart would be learned knowledge. Or, being clever even. Intelligence is from within. How you process information, how you use it in your day to day, how you store it, and how you treat people. It is easier to be kind than cruel. You have…

Perhaps

Are you superstitious? Is it bad to have an itch, and know something is coming? Scientists deduct, denounce…but no one asked them. I’m not religious, but I believe my body and mind tell me what I need to know. You probably wouldn’t understand half of what I know to be true, and most of what…

A Spider 🕷️

Which animal would you compare yourself to and why? Intricately weaving my home. Trapping my food. Always near you, three feet in every direction…without your knowing. Intelligent. Adaptable.

Casanova – Colorado Ballet

I was confiscated by how the performance would be. Nervous, even. I paid for a set in the mezzanine area – balcony, second floor. The first time I entered this opera house, it took my breath away. It was my daughter’s 8th birthday, and we went to see the Nutcracker as a family. I remembered…

The Medium Dilemma

Yesterday, I purchased six alcohol markers, and experienced a crisis. For one, they’re pricey – $3-$5 a marker. Secondly, they work amazingly well.
