Blair Necessities: TEDx yzpdqbil*
http://blairnecessities.blogspot.com/2015/04/tedx-yzpdqbil.html
Living, so the dead don't have to. Friday, April 17, 2015. I have to admit, I am currently a little obsessed with TED talks. It all started with this one talk - I think I saw it sometime in the fall of 2008;. I was floored, and moved, and thought "what a great way to put things out there". And since this was new I kind of waited to see what it would bring. I made my mother watch it. I sent it to my friends, and have fondly referred to the talk and my reaction to it ever since. I thought about one dealing...

Blair Necessities: October 2014
http://blairnecessities.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Living, so the dead don't have to. Sunday, October 26, 2014. Day 26 - 40 days of writing - oh, the indignities…. Aside from the obvious, which is having a shocking number of medical personnel have access and *ahem* viewing rights to my girly bits…. There is also this:. Of all things, this is called "THE BOWEL PREP" and it merits all caps because it's all about prepping my bowels. And that's just BOWEL PREPPING. For surgery… that is NOT on my bowels. Now please excuse me, I need to powder my nose. Strange...

Finding my voice through practice…. By Jodee on April 22, 2015. I like unexpected surprises. Good surprises, of course, but those little things that happen in your life that make you take notice. I also like to think about how our paths cross with one another. Coincidences? I like to think not. I had an unexpected surprise two Saturdays ago while working a wine club event at the winery where I normally work a regular 9-5er, Monday through Friday. In between our polite greetings and small talk to the atte...

Finding my voice through practice…. By Jodee on July 16, 2014. As if those two things weren’t enough, there was a third element. I couldn’t exercise. As most of you know, running or biking is my therapy. The inability to take off and let my body help my mind process and deal with my suffering cat had brought me to a low point that I haven’t seen in myself in a very long time. I wasn’t eating or sleeping. Maeby’s ordeal reads like a chapter out of. A Series of Unfortunate Events. Here we were at 72 hours ...

Finding my voice through practice…. By Jodee on March 19, 2015. Wanted to disappear into the wind. Instead, my tongue found my stinging, swollen upper lip. I tasted blood. The gash my tooth had opened from the smack to my face last night was open again. To this day, I have a scar. My thoughts went to where he said he was going to take me, and what he was going to do to me. I’m going to die today. I don’t want to die. Should I leap from the car and take off running? Should I knock on someone’s door? The U...

Finding my voice through practice…. Posts from the ‘Stories’ Category. I grew a tree. My husband, David, had made a somewhat impulsive decision to buy a house in Tubac, Arizona. And one gas station. I had never been there. He returned to our home in Palm Springs with the news. The seeds sprouted very quickly. I was ecstatic. When our desert dwelling days came to an end, the trees were about as tall as me, but still wispy. We visited Arizona when we could and it was always joyful to see their ...A couple ...

Untitled – Day 4. You stand at the bottom of two roads. A triangle of hell. Choose right, or choose left,. Or choose right, or choose wrong. You are sleepless and restless and dazed and jumpy and wired and crazy,. Because neither road seems bad or good or bad or good or good or bad. Your life has become blurry.
