NaBloPoMo: Superhero?

Monday, January 14, 2013 If you were a superhero, what would be your hidden superpower? How about this? Yep, cape and everything. For social media. OK, for Twitter! But blogging begat twitter for moi! I will tell you that it is best to wear a superhero cape over a tee shirt, not a blazer. Anyway, […]

NaBloPoMo: Energy Redux

I’ve never consumed an energy drink. I tasted Red Bull once. It was awful. That was in 2004 at PrideFest. It was free. I sipped and promptly tossed the entire thing. I’ve also never used medication to get energy. I take an antidepressant seasonally, but that’s not the same thing as a “very special episode” […]

NaBloPoMo: Where Do I Find The Energy?

NaBloPoMo: Where Do I Find The Energy?

Friday, January 11, 2013 How do you find the energy to write when you’re not in the mood? Well, typically, I don’t. Unless circumstances dictate otherwise – a topic or story that has to be covered.

NaBloPoMo: Exhaustion

Wednesday, January 9, 2013 Talk about a time when you used up an extraordinary amount of energy and were exhausted. It seems that each day, the prompt ties so nicely into my unique circumstances. Let’s review – pulled my back, concussion (bumped my head again today – yikes), carpal tunnel in my right hand and […]

NaBloPoMo: No More Sleep? No Way!

Tuesday, January 8, 2013 If you could be given the option to never sleep and also never be tired, would you take it if it meant you’d also never dream again? Well, no I would not. First, I believe sleep is about far more than simply not being tired – it is when my body […]

NaBloPoMo: Viva La Vida!

NaBloPoMo: Viva La Vida!

Monday, January 7, 2013 What is your favourite song that gives you energy? This is almost too easy – because I can post a YouTube Link, right? The song that energizes me is Viva La Vida (Coldplay.) I love the music, Chris Martin’s tenor and I love the imagery – to me, it describes bipolar […]

NaBloPoMo: Energy From Sisterhood

NaBloPoMo: Energy From Sisterhood

This weekend, an acquaintance wrote to me and used the term “Sister” which – to be honest – freaked me out. She intended it to be a reflection of our shared experiences as women living in a man’s world. To me, the term sister has two meanings. First, it is used very flippantly among the […]

NaBloPoMo: The Time Of My Day

NaBloPoMo: The Time Of My Day

Friday, January 4, 2013 At what time of day do you feel the most energetic and productive? Wow, this varies. My natural rhythm is to be productive late at night, but the sleep regimin requires that I decompress earlier in the evening. Still, I occasionally wake up at 2 AM with an AWESOME idea and […]
