The Good Life.

You Are Welcome Here
Life is good. Let's share it.

New Year, New Strategy

For 2026, I launched a weekly topic rotation designed to help me stay d i s c i p l i n e d while ensuring that you, the reader, always know what to expect. Unfortunately, I have yet to acquire a million followers *Glassesy* and gain official WDC "influencer" status, and I often find myself seduced by whimsy. Thus, my blogging strategy continues to evolve.

So, What Can I Expect?
I'm glad you asked.
For now, until whimsy strikes again, here's what you can expect:

Subject Sundays
I'll publish an educational and/or discussion-provoking article, probably on one of the following subjects:.
         *BulletBr* Music & music education
         *BulletBr* The art and business of writing
         *BulletBr* Owning & managing a small business
         *BulletBr* Science & technology

Main Character Mondays
I'll establish goals every Monday and touch base about family, work, health and leisure.

Tuesdays through Fridays
I'll work on and update weekly goals. When I check off completed writing goals, I'll share the fruits of those labors, if applicable. These posts are likely to include blurbs about my day and the occasional rant, although I try to post rants at

* I can only commit to one review per week. If you would like your short story to be in my reviewing queue, please send me a WDC review request.  Open in new Window. Check out my public reviews  Open in new Window. to get a sense of what to expect.

Health Notes
- My voice is coming back! After Botox injections in my vocal cords exactly 3 weeks ago, I've been weak and breathy - sometimes unable to speak even louder than a whisper. I've been wearing a personal amplifier that tour guides and fitness instructors use. The initial spike has finally worn off, and today, I was even able to speak loudly a couple times.

- Left toes have been curled a lot today, probably bc I missed my 5pm dose of my Parkinson's med. Sleeping with the toe separator sock tonight.

- Lost the 5+ lbs I had gained in Mexico in November, and I wasn't really trying, so keeping an eye on it. It's a good thing, unless it's a bad thing.

I should have a lot more time tomorrow for knocking things off the list.

G'night, everyone!




Cheers,
Michelle
