Yesterday was a good day. I wrote 4000 words, walked 10K steps, as well as did some essential publishing work. I am hoping to do something similar today in terms of all three.   It always surprises me when I snap back into wellness. It never surprises me when I am suddenly sick, basically going […]

The last few days have not been good, quite frankly. It started with Saturday, which did turn out to be a couple days before my period started. No brain, fighting for words, feeling shitty. Sunday was better, but I still had a low grade headache all day. Monday my period actually started and it was

So the good news is that my knee continues to heal. This morning it is a lot less sore and the swelling continues to go down. Like yesterday morning, it feels stiff, not sore. The bad news – hormones have come back. I’ve been feeling so good lately. Clear and free of headaches. Last night,

TLDR; To the men out there – what have you done today to make the women in your life feel safer? Fact: There are women who you know who have been sexually assaulted. They may or may not have ever told you about it. Chances are, they are feeling a bit more vulnerable right now

I’m starting this blog from the Tampa airport, on the way back to Seattle. Not sure if I’ll post it or not. We’ll see how I’m feeling at the end. I’ve been at the Novelists Incorporated (NINC) conference for the last week. It’s been a GREAT conference. Blaze and I came to the conference with

Last week, on one of the nice days when I was feeling good, I went and harvested more rose hips. This was only the second time I’d harvested rose hips for tea. The two harvests were about a month apart. Here’s a link to the first post on harvesting rose hips: https://www.leahcutter.com/2018/08/harvesting-rose-hips/   What I
