Continue reading →: Being a Writer
Being a writer is no joke. I would like to call myself a writer, but instead, I need to invent a word that means “I write when convenient like when I happen to be sitting down in front of my computer and feel the urge.” Or “a writer that writes…

(photo:Dailybits) As a self-, family-, and friend-identified introvert, I’m here to make a case. As Lady Gaga asseverates “I was born this way.” Researchers estimate that 50 – 75 percent of the population is extroverted. It is to my misfortune that I was born this way into a very extroverted…

*Spoiler alert* discussion about unpleasant bodily functions ahead. But, hey, how are we going to learn about and get over these things if we’re too shy to share them? I have been strictly adhering to the elimination phase of this diet for 9 and a half days. The first few…

Hello,
I’m Jill
I’m reaching out to my people. Let’s connect and support each other. I don’t need to be the leader or the follower. I just want to be known and seen. I know I’m not the only one. I hope someday you’ll join us. And if the world can’t live as one, maybe we can find a few communities where we feel validated.
I’m currently re-evaluating my desire to participate in any social media. Connection with me will be through this blog or email.
Let’s connect
TBD
To be determined
