Hello 2020, What’s your One-Word?
It’s time again. Another year, another word. Hello 2020. Last year I shared my philosophy on resolutions. They don’t work for me. I stopped making them because it didn’t make sense-why set myself up to fail? I decided to try something different and embrace a...
My Footprint
August always marks another trip around the sun for me. It is another year, a new age to embrace and another chance to make a footprint on this world. While I’ve added a few extra pounds this year (dammit!) and my boob size is 36 LONG, I continue to embrace myself...
Why Every Woman Needs True Trenchips
There is nothing I would not do for those who are really my friends. I have no notion of loving people by halves, it is not my nature. ----Jane Austen I am always sad when I hear women who say they don’t have female friendships. My heart hurts because they are...
Kelly’s Law of Attraction
The days are long but the years are short... Yesterday my oldest turned 21 years old. Like I-can-go-buy-a-bottle-of-Jack-Daniels 21. Like give-me-a-shot 21. Like I-am-a-man 21. All-day I kept thinking about the juice box drinking, Gatorade chugging, milk-shake...

Girl, Drive Your Bus
Lies. We tell ourselves lies every day. We go one step further. We make ourselves believe the lies. We embrace the lies, live the lies, and define ourselves by the lies. We are so sure the lies are real that we tell other people our lies because we want others...
The Power is in the Period
I’m coming clean. Truth time. In hopes of being authentic, I’m taking my mask off and digging deep. I’m unloading my laundry, literally. Here goes: My sock basket is never empty. (wince) As a matter of fact, I haven’t seen the bottom of it for like 8 years. I...
Dear 50…
Dear 50, You got me. I ducked and dodged you all year and you finally caught me. Time is undefeated. Everyone says you’re just a number but we both know, it’s a big number. When I was a perky little twenty-something, I thought of 50-year-olds as over the hill,...
