TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY!

(Actually it was yesterday, I intended to post this yesterday but I’m a day late.)

Chocolate Raspberry Birthday Cake from my Family

I just got to 100 followers- Thank YOU!!!

This article is my stream-of-consciousness, brainstorming session for topics to write about. This is the first Medium article I’m posting without over-editing and over-thinking (is there such a thing?)

I typically don’t write short articles-this is the first. I’ve been writing a television pilot and haven’t been writing on Medium as much as I would like.

Instead, I’ve been reading a lot on Medium and I love it. The writing on Medium inspires me to be a better writer. I appreciate everyone who writes Medium tips and hacks and I’m a sucker for personal essays. Reading about other people’s life experiences is enthralling, I could do it all day.

  • The Construction of the Wildlife Bridge being built near my house
  • How Meditation has helped me In my Daily Life
  • Being a Young Mom v Not so Young Mom. Pros/Cons
  • My interest in Birds-include Scarlet Macaws in Costa Rica
  • Pet Sitter stuff, I was a Professional Petsitter for 20 years
  • Imposter Syndrome-how I wrestle with (is this over done?)
  • Menopause-is it hot in here or is it me, include thermostat wars with hubs
  • I play the lottery too much but I KNOW I’m going to win
  • I rent my clothes & I sell stuff on Poshmark
  • Why I Take Mini-Breaks from Eating, IF, etc.
  • A Short About Me article
  • Excerpts from my Book, not sure how this works for Medium, need to research it.
