Well, another year is in the bag and another year of blogging concludes! That makes it now 4 years since I started this little venture I call Accidentally Retired. And as always I am shocked by how fast time flies. I don’t think I’ll ever get over it. It was nearly 5 years ago when I put in my notice at work to leave the company I built and the job I loved –> that fact alone is blowing my mind!

I don't usually pre-search my idea to see what's out there, I just write what comes to mind and the article comes to fruition. And yet today I searched. And wow - there's so much out there! My article was already...
I missed my annual reading update...so what the hell, let's do it now! To start, I've spent a lot of time in the last year and change, reading The Stormlight Archives by Brandon Sanderson. I really have enjoyed that series, but they are some loooonnnnggg books. I am currently still on Book 4. On top of diving headlong into fiction, I've also spent some time revisiting one of my favorite books, Awareness by Anthony de Mello - in fact, I've read it twice because it is so calming (AR review...
Waking up lately is getting harder and harder. And it’s not that I am sleeping any worse than before…in fact sometimes I am sleeping better, but I am just so, so, so very tired. As any parent of two elementary-age children will tell you, parenting is NEVER-ENDING exhaustion. From the neediness to the attention-craving whining, crying, shouting, and laughing.
