Both Sides Now
There is one song that no matter what, without fail touches me. It makes me cry. I am telling you if you ever need me to ever cry on command just play the song Both Sides Now sung by Joni Mitchell. This song resonates with me because of the stunning simple, and complicated melodies -also…
Mean Girls
“I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” -Maya Angelou Mean things are remembered. A neighbor, friend and even old co-worker back in my travel agent days had a daughter in Blair’s kindergarten class. She had called me…
Beautiful
Saying I have been busy is a lame excuse. I am a perfectionist, that is my real excuse. I did not want to share a new blog until I could give it my full attention. In adulthood, perfectionism is how my ADHD manifests itself. If you ever told high school Blair that she would be…
Time to End a Saying: Sympathy is in the Dictionary Between Suicide and Syphilis

Happy Birthday to My Biggest Cheerleader In Heaven

And Just Like That

I was out to lunch with my friend in 2020 when she mentioned to me, “Blair you are such a Carrie.” I responded with “Aww Thanks.” “Blair, Carrie is the worst character on Sex and The…

Rose Colored Lenses
A few months ago I was consulting with someone for spiritual guidance on the acceptance of others. She said to me “Blair, you know you are an amazing person.
