It’s been a minute, hasn’t it?

Posted on May 26, 2022May 26, 2022 by Kathy

Hey there folks! I hope this post finds you well and you’re feeling blessed and moving forward! Life today is a lot less crazy than it was the last time I posted. I’ve been working my part-time job and enjoying the days I get to do it. I never thought I’d find a job that… Continue reading

20 years later…never forget

Way back in 2006, for the 5th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, bloggers across the world signed up for a tribute to those we lost. We were each assigned the name of someone who perished that day.

The hosting company who hosted my original blog screwed over my brother and so here I am, with a new hosting company, trying to start over and rebuild my blog. I hadn’t posted on it in about 2 years, however, I started it in January of 2006 and I just couldn’t see letting all of… Continue reading

Go to Meetings and don’t gamble in between

Posted on May 10, 2021May 12, 2021 by Kathy

This was originally posted on my original blog on March 10th, 2019 The title of this post is one of the many sayings we have in Gambler’s Anonymous.  I’ve been clinging to those quite a bit the last 5 months.  This post is long, so if you make it through the entire thing, you’re a… Continue reading
