Mel’s Monday Musings: November 4, 2019
Hey, it's Monday again/already! What do you do when your last nerve is frayed and you just feel like banging your head against the wall because life won't let you pause for breath and the hits just keep coming? It's been one of those days -- one of a string of several of those days … Continue reading Mel’s Monday Musings: November 4, 2019
Mel’s Monday Musings: September 23, 2019
Well, here we are at the end of another Monday. 🙂 How are y'all?

Hi, y'all! This Monday has just about gotten away from me. How's it going? Fall is definitely in the air here, at least in the evenings. I love it!

Hi, y'all. 🙂 How's it going? It's been a busy week here, as we're down to the last days before school starts.

I woke up this morning excited for the day. Then reality happened.

Two things for y'all today (hopefully you'll get something of value from at least one of them!): 1. At a meeting for a large and beloved annual town festival, I gave a committee report to a room full of influential townspeople I don't know, as my face flamed (my co-chair, a native, always gives the … Continue reading Mel’s Monday Musings: January 28, 2019

Every year for the past five years or so, in the final weeks of December, I've chosen a word for the following year. My "word of the year" (you've probably seen the concept in a dozen places by now) encompasses a trait or a goal or something else that I hope will serve as a … Continue reading Mel’s Monday Musings: December 17, 2018
