It is the strangest thing, right now. I am in SouthWest Texas and the year is nearly done. I am sitting outside as I type. It is overcast and very light sprinkles have been teasing me for the last couple of hours. Just a hint here and there, yet not enough to push me inside….
Category: Michelle’s Musings
I write. I write a lot and I have been writing ever since I was a girl. My emotions and feelings become so intense and overwhelming, I need to get them out. This is a repository for some of those feelings, thoughts, observations and ponderings as I prepared for, started and am now living each day in my pilgrimage.
What is In a Face
After months on the road, I came to terms with the selfie. I resisted for a while. I hate taking photos of myself and I generally end up looking terrible or stupid or the least flattering ever. But, some of my friends who read my blog encouraged me to add more photos. In an effort…
Sister Army
Crabby Ladies in Cars? Bitchy Babes on Bikes? Voracious Vixens in Vans? Mavens with Moxie? Grumpy Grandmas? The Fabulous Fifty Somethings? Women of their Own World? I am not sure what to call my new women’s group. This group will be for us shitheads, cynics, negative Nancy’s. Those of us who cannot, or refuse to,…
No Shave November
It is Thanksgiving and I am at the beach. I have not shaved my legs or my armpits for nearly two months. Well, I have not taken any sort of razor to any other areas, either, if you get my drift. I stopped when I wore pants all the freaking time and my skin never…
Dear Young People

Junk Yard Dog
That is what he called me. This buddy of mine. It came about while playing darts at a party. I had been off the road staying with friend #3 in city #3; my home turf. I agreed to tag along one evening to a BBQ. I knew there would be food and drink, and about…
Night on a Bus
05-20-19 It was a work commitment that I knew would be long, I was packed and ready, heading straight into the throng. We boarded the bus, a might bit early for a Saturday, I had the dual seat to myself, score me for a comfortable stay. The wheels rolled along, the skies were bright and…
Airplane Fun
Here I am, stuffed into a large metal tube, propelled through the air thousands of feet off the ground. While amazing, it is terrifying. Not the flying part, that has never bothered me. It is the falling part that gets my goat. In fact, I have had many dreams throughout my life where I am…
Shhhhh
05-27-19 Shhhh. Be quiet. Be still. I cannot hear myself think, I cannot hear my heart beat, my pulse. I cannot breathe, my chest is tight, my emotions out of control. Shhh. Please stop talking, singing, dancing, moving. I cannot hear my mind, my voice, the whispers of my soul. I cannot see the sun…
