I’m No Fort Knox

Posted on May 28, 2024 by Real Women

78.  That’s a rough estimate of the number of active current passwords in my life. I’m sure there are more.  This number just represents the passwords saved in my SSHP (Super Secret Hidey Place), not to be confused with the … Continue reading →

What Happens When We Stop Listening

Posted on May 6, 2022 by Real Women

Anyone who has read my blog over the years knows that I stay about 8,000 feet away from posting anything that can be remotely considered political or a hot-button issue.  Not because I don’t care about important issues, but simply … Continue reading →

Word Up.

Posted on October 29, 2021 by Real Women

Not surprisingly, I love words.  Both real words and creatively made-up phrases.  There are lots of supposedly official words that are virtually unknown but are super fun.  Like ferrule, the small piece of metal that separates the pencil from the … Continue reading →
