In Defense of the Moon

Published by Rhetorical Redhead on January 20, 2015

The poor thing either gets slaughtered in sloppy, overly-glorified, personification-heaped love poetry, or gets made fun of…misunderstood by those who don’t appreciate its quietly haunting beauty, nor its purpose and value to us. To the improperly sung hero of the night sky…I salute you. And I am sorry for all our wrongdoing and disrespect. We’ve tarnished your good name.

Haiku #114

Managed to sneak in a handwritten haiku during the move on the only paper I could find… Writing will resume soon and I cannot wait to have my new writing corner! Woo!

Learning to Relax

Published by Rhetorical Redhead on January 17, 2015

Repeat selfie setting, but I don’t care. This is my crazy life and I welcome you into it! What do YOU do to relax? Moving to a new house still sucks. But at least there’s a tub and some wine and plenty of reading material to soothe my muscles and nerves. One of many ways I’m learning to relax during this exciting yet stressful time since writing is on hold. #pruningfordayzzz #bathtubselfie #cotesdurhone #noms #smartwater #freeadvertising

Where to Go, What to Do

Published by Rhetorical Redhead on January 14, 2015

As of 8:05 a.m. this morning, I am a free agent. Floating. I have no base. No dock. No boundaries. No limits.

The company I worked for had lost two big clients in a matter of months, and I knew my part-time tech writer position was on the line since business was slow and the revenue had taken a hit. But it was still a shock to have my boss hand me my notice and final paycheck saying I could leave: “There’s no reason for you to stay.”

It was bittersweet. I liked working as a technical writer, and my employers were kind and genuine people who ran a tight ship. I respected them, which made this part even harder. But as I walked to my car, arms clasping the classic banker’s box filled with what meager items I owned at the office, I felt relief. Which excited and scared me at the same time. I felt guilty for being relieved…but guilt was soon mixed with a sense of freedom and adventure; I could finally chase what I have been dreaming of doing for years…I could finally pursue my writing with nothing, nor anyone, to hold me back.

Hot Tub Time Machine

Published by Rhetorical Redhead on January 12, 2015

Moving is hard. Buying a house and moving is harder….Cleaning this jacuzzi tub was hard. Convincing me to get out will be harder. #kickingandscreaming #legsfordays #bathtubaficionado

Quote by Marianne Williamson

Published by Rhetorical Redhead on January 1, 2015

What’s not to love about this poem by Marianne Williamson? What an encouraging and insightful piece of prose! I have this sitting on my writing desk for inspiration, and as a daily reminder of who I am and who He calls me to be, as a woman, as a friend, as a wife, and as a writer. As the year closes and a new one dawns, I draw upon this poem for what my goals and desires for this next year will look like. A new chapter is opening for me and my writing career; there is no room for…
