The worst part about being a single parent...

...my home is too small when they're here...

...and too empty when they're gone.

Best part of being a single parent at Christmas, writing Love, Mom on the tag and not having to share credit with someone who didn't do a thing.

We say goodbye to actor, filmmaker and activist Rob Reiner.

A dedicated storyteller with sincerity that imbued his prolific work and the causes he believed in, Reiner’s heartfelt portrayal of the human condition reminds us of the power of film and its abilities to stay with us.

Safe people know how to handle hearing "no" without losing their sh*t & pivoting to emotional abuse.

No exceptions.

I feel like people who don't like candy corn don't understand how to eat it.
You're not supposed to chew.
You just swallow it with water, like a pill.

as an undiagnosed autistic youth i looked to movies and tv shows to help me navigate the world. only it turns out some of those "romantic" movies just made me more susceptible to love bombing. that and my own trauma. 🫤

In American bird lore, birds are connected to angels. Many believe feathers found on the ground are signs angels have visited. The dead return as angels, and when a cardinal visits you, it is the spirit of the dead coming to visit you. #FolkyFriday

Today's client wisdom nugget: "Narcissism is the shit they should have taught us about in school, like instead of abstinence. Like I needed a how-to-cook class and how-to-spot-a-narc class and a budgeting class."

Run, don't walk to your favorite book seller or library & pick-up a copy of Stephen King's If It Bleeds.

Within those pages is a beautiful novella, The Life of Chuck. I couldn't put it down.

I watched the movie tonight. I delighted. I cried. My heart surged & broke.

It's moved me so deeply.

I'm NOT making this up: The woman who painted the stepback illustration for Flowers In The Attic (the picture of the Dollenganger family on the inside of the cover) is Gillian Hills, who was also the singer of the 1960 yé-yé hit Zou Bisou Bisou (the song Megan Draper sang to a mortified Don).
