I'm wondering how you're all doing? Does your head feel like a whirlwind of debris and static like mine? Recently, we visited Mariposa Grove, the largest grove of sequoia trees in Yosemite. Putting my hand on the ancient bark, I felt at peace and grounded. The last time I felt that was going to my …

Did my first comedy set in 8 years! Seeing one of my California friends go through this inspired me to get back to making fun of breast cancer. Check out the set here.
Let’s Flush & Gush in 2024
Photo by Amanda Yum on Unsplash Well, hello there. Here's to hoping you had an amazing end to 2023. I'm so ready to move on in so many ways. One thing is, I should write blogs on a regular basis. Honestly, the end of 2023 made me blog clogged. I just wasn't coming up with anything interesting to …

I heard that you are supposed to create your own heaven. I also heard they don’t have chocolate in heaven. That’s great. Now I don’t know what to believe. Yesterday was pretty close to the kind of heaven I’d want. We haven’t seen Steven all summer, since he carved out an internship for himself an …
Meet Joy: One rocking mother

It’s back to school: Time for summer reading!
Remember all those books you bought for those lazy days that never came? Me too! I’ve made it to page 55 of Annabel Monaghan’s “Nora Goes Off Script” (on sale here!) The main character is a single mom, which fills me with awe every time. In one scene, a Crock Pot makes her feel triumphant. …
