IProject Reverb prompt: Letting go: For next year, I’m letting go of Anger and being taken advantage of. Walking on eggshells. I have started speaking up for myself, but didn’t reckon on just how that wasn’t going to go over well sometimes. But it isn’t. Actions have consequences however, and …
Project Reverb prompt: “Do Over: Hindsight is the one thing we never benefit from in the present. Is there one moment you wish that you could do-over?†Oh..this is , sadly apropos. I would do over something recent. I would wait longer to say everything I’ve said. I wasn’t wrong, but my …
Project Reverb prompt: “What didn’t you do this year because you were too scared, afraid, unsure? Are you going to do it next year? Or maybe you don’t want to anymore?” This year has not been the year for that as much. I have actually jumped in with all four feet …
The Goal is to be caught up by Sunday. Stay with me! Reverb14 Prompt: “What unfinished projects from 2014 are you willing to release now? (Regret not required.)†Our House. We have to move out of state and even though we will miss our ‘big red house’  as Em called it …
http://www.projectreverb.com and http://www.katmcnally.com/2014/12/reverb14-day-1-starting-with-certainty.html I’m going to try this again this year. I’m behind because this has been an absolutely horrid horrid week. Â I’m not ready to talk about that yet. But… Where was I at the beginning of 2014? New into being employed doing something I really enjoy. New at …
I don’t think I’ll catch up now. There was too much going on this month. A big birthday for our kiddo, J and I changing around everything we eat, me discovering once and for all I really do have a vicious problem with gluten/wheat , going ass over teakettle down …
Most gods throw dice, but Fate plays chess, and you don’t find out til too late that he’s been playing with two queens all along. Terry Pratchett Sometimes it feels that way. Even when it’s good. But then you don’t mind it so much. Some things are “truly meant to …
Things are getting better, truly they are. As Winston Churchill said: “If you are going through Hell, keep going.” I did and and do. And will. Some things are better. Â The change was necessary. This new change is necessary too. I would just like to stop being angry. I would …
It is for my own good. It is for my family’s good. I am trying to be good, to be better. My definition of that is different from yours. It is good for me to let you go. It is good that we can no longer be, whatever it was that …
My family are the ones who spend time within these walls. The tall nervous girl, eager to please so sensitive and kind. The Man who always looks me in the eye and has walked with me through dark times and bright. These strange feline folk who have always loved unconditionally. …
Time has a way of wearing down, erasing, almost rearranging the self into something like but unlike. It seems you start this journey to adulthood thinking so many thoughts of who you will be, how you will be and when. Then life happens and those dreams, many of them are …
Em and I had a reading day not too long ago. We both hung out in our PJs and read Divergent. She with a paperback, me with my kindle. Her reading is way more sustained since she got glasses so we literally spent all day reading and talking about what …
I’m very tired, these last few days because of some significant changes I’m making in my life. My C, probably forever and always will be cats. Cats were my friends when I had none. Cats were my parents when my parents were not around. When I couldn’t live for me …
No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path. I  think that was the Buddha. To me it means We have to make the choices, we have to make the decisions on what we fix about our lives and when. I don’t want to change what …
The answer is obvious and the question not fully known. The path is clear and trapped with brambles. The cup filled with comfort and regret. It seems like one decision after another keeps having to be made. And by that I mean by me. Me, making decisions. I’ve learned …

Well I disappeared for awhile and fell off the Reverb wagon because—that time of year I think. Also family drama. Kat McNally asks about the way forward and Project Reverb wants to know about gratitude. Since I’m behind and back dating this. I’m going to be succinct. I am grateful …
Kat McNally’s prompt asks us to consider self-compassion: The Buddha said, “You, yourself, as much as anybody else in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.†While Project Reverb asks if I was an introvert or extrovert this year. It really is interesting to me how I find connections between these …
