  • something more. week two

    As for me, things make sense in Quiet Time. I just reread last Thursday’s post for week one. I laughed at the end on the last page I uploaded as an image. It’s the acknowledgement section. I had a list of top five instagram follows and in my own scratch writing I wrote @sallysifer. I […]

  • something more. week one

    It’s an interesting time to be fifty y/o. I am entering 2024 at age 52. As I type, I wonder what additional qualifiers are necessary to share: single? female? lifetime school employee?  I like fifty. I like fifty in 2024. I like what I can access with technology. I like that I can anticipate living […]

  • fire ant.

    When I open my laptop to write, I often/always begin randomly. Eventually I get into the flow of the post and delete the random. I think this first sentence is funny, so I’m going to leave it in: I love the idea of a personal assistant who is exceptional at everything I am not.  😅 […]

  • intensities.

    I slept in this morning. Out of bed at 4am. A lazy Sunday morning…. I love my neighborhood before 10am on weekends and during Bronco games. So quiet. It feels mostly still with the exception of big black crows and squirrels that always grab my attention when I venture outside to walk.   When I woke […]

  • fire.

    Bloggedy blog blog… It has been some time since I have published anything. In August, this fun little animal-card-monthly-blog-theme really wove itself into day. – my day.  Again, for context please read the January post deck. I noticed the fun messaging from the beginning. I often notice fun little messages showing up regularly in a […]

    Do you have a favorite month? I love September. There’s just something about September… My love for September may be a throwback to growing up in the midwest. In Denver, September is HOT. However, the mountains in September remind me of what I experienced living in Illinois for so many years. This wasn’t what I […]

  • contradiction.

    Sometimes I feel like everything is a contradiction. As I am teaching my content again, I recognize interesting contradictions. Contradiction is a way of describing a world that exists within oppositional forces. Better said: a world existence based on oppositional force is set up to contradict itself. Self-awareness is noticing the contradicting nature of existence. […]
