Stuck On You

This song was popular when I moved back from Manhattan. I was living on my grandpa’s farm 45 miles south of Oakley and came up in the evenings help dad get his new computer system up to date at the office. I had started seeing Mike that summer and he co-owned a bar...

Inspiration

Recently I’ve had some trouble with inspiration. Last week and early this week along with a lack of inspiration some family drama kept me from writing a blog post. Then this morning after thinking a lot about how I would manifest my vision it hit me out of the blue –...

Purge The System

Early Monday morning I was up with diarrhea and vomiting. When this happens, I figure there was something offensive in my body that needed to be purged. I hate vomiting but usually, feel better afterward. Sometimes our systems need purging. Whether it be emotional or...

Birthdays And Blessings

In honor of my dad’s 83rd birthday (5/29/19) I’m posting his writing. This was published in The Pulse, Volume 12, Issue 5, May 2019. This is the newsletter from Western Missouri Medical Center where my brother, Dean Ohmart, is CFO. He wrote a letter of introduction...

Boundaries

Watching Dalila play with Hans (my older Dachshund) and Ithaca (the cat/kitten) I’m reminded about setting boundaries. Hans is very clear when Dalila chews on his tail or his ears that he wants none of that. Or if she tries to eat his food. Dalila pounces on Ithaca...

Changes

As if my life hadn’t already been turned upside down recently and I have further changes ahead. I chose this week to make a couple of changes. On Monday morning I loaded Hans up and we drove to Denver to meet two good friends for lunch. Oh, and one of them brought me...

Distractions

Those things that pull us away from our goals. I’ve written about procrastination and spinning plates when you add distractions you have a recipe for disaster. My blog post is 2 days late this week because of distractions. If I had a more structured manner to write...
