Bridgeport Community Days Done Right

Small-town festivals are one of those things that never really change, and honestly, that’s part of the charm. We spent part of the day at Bridgeport Community Days, wandering around the vendors, checking out the booths, and just enjoying a slower pace for a while. No deadlines, no work route, no endless list of things that needed fixed. Just walking around and seeing what was going on....

Internet Friends, Real Conversations

Who is your favorite blogger to follow? There are a lot of blogs on the internet, but only a handful I actually make a point to read instead of just skimming for thirty seconds before getting distracted by some shiny piece of internet nonsense. My two favorites belong to friends I’ve known online for years, even though we’ve never met face to face....

Nothing Beats Grandma’s Cooking

Write about a meal you’ll never forget. Some meals stay with you forever. Not because they were expensive or served on a plate the size of a manhole cover with three microscopic bites in the middle. They stay with you because they remind you of someone you loved. For me, it’s my Polish grandma’s homemade sauerkraut and dumplings. I can still remember the smell filling the house while she cooked....

Clock Out Without Guilt

What’s a lesson you’ve learned recently that shifted your perspective? One thing I’ve finally learned, and it took me way longer than it should have, is this: make time for your damn self. I’m Gen …

Everyone Has Something to Say

What’s a skill you wish everyone learned growing up? The one skill I wish everyone learned growing up is painfully simple: shut the f**k up and listen. Not wait for your turn to talk. Not interrupt because you think your opinion is the grand finale humanity has been waiting for. Just listen. It’s amazing how many arguments, misunderstandings, and self-inflicted disasters could be avoided if people spent half as much time paying attention as they do hearing themselves speak....

Chasing a Good Night’s Sleep

What do you do to improve your sleep? Getting to bed early is probably the biggest thing that helps me sleep. If I stay up too late, my brain suddenly thinks it’s time to replay every awkward conve…

A Foster Puppy for the Fourth

Another three-day weekend is here, and I’m treating it like the national holiday it was meant to be. No alarm clock. No route to run. No endless parade of people asking questions they could’ve answered themselves if they had spent five seconds thinking. Just a few days to slow the hell down and enjoy life before Monday comes crashing through the front door like an unpaid bill....

Describe a place that always helps you relax. I made this list because sometimes the writing prompts in WordPress just suck ass. These are the prompts I’d rather use. Most people have a favorite pl…

The Myth of Loving Summer

Summer gets way too much credit. Every year people act like it’s some magical season where life suddenly becomes a beach commercial. Meanwhile, the rest of us are standing in a parking lot that’s s…
