30 Thoughts I Have While Watching Any Episode Of Ozark

Christine Knapp April 12, 2020

Like the rest of you, I am hunkered down in self isolation waiting out a pandemic. I’d love to be the type of person who writes the great American novel or becomes fluent in Farsi during my self imposed exile, but it turns out I’m just …

I Am 1000% Not Okay

Christine Knapp March 31, 2020

I counted nineteen hearts on my front window today. Nineteen bright and colorful hearts. One heart for each day we’ve voluntarily isolated ourselves at home because of Covid-19. I don’t know why I started doing it, but it’s given me a small purpose. Each morning I …

The Cat Died and Now I’m Ready to Laugh Again

Christine Knapp March 8, 2020

The cat died. I probably should have eased you into that more slowly, but I’ve never been known for my tact. It’s okay. She was really old. It wasn’t unexpected. And yet it was, because no matter how much you think you’re ready for it, you …

Why Being ‘Too Sensitive’ Is Really Pretty Great

Christine Knapp February 22, 2020

From the minute I stepped onto the boardwalk loop at Congaree National Park I was spellbound. It’s a short hike that could be simply described as a stroll through a forested floodplain. To me, though, it felt like entering the gates to heaven. Trees as tall …

A Book Review and a Pep Talk for Writers

Christine Knapp February 1, 2020

Book reviews are generally not my forte. It’s not that I don’t like reading books and telling people what to do. I immensely enjoy both those activities. It’s just I’m usually reading some random book I bought at Goodwill that was published over a decade ago. …

I Tried A Weighted Blanket So You Don’t Have To

Christine Knapp January 24, 2020

I know this may come as a surprise to you because I am hip to the lingo of today’s youth, fam, but I am old enough to be going through the change. You know, the change. *wink* As a result of the change, I am experiencing …

You Can Outlast Trump – A Survival Guide From A Sick Person

Christine Knapp January 12, 2020

These are some wild times, my friends. And frankly I’m not sure how wild they really are, since I haven’t watched the news in over an hour. Are we in World War III yet? Is Kim Jong Un the king of Texas now? You laugh, but …

My 2019 Top Ten Posts

Christine Knapp December 16, 2019

Here we are, on the edge of saying goodbye to another year. 2019 was a year. Politicswise, it was utter hell. Healthwise, it was okay. Lifewise, it was pretty damn busy. So blogwise, it was slow. I started the year strong. I began a series of …

I Need You To Stop Trying To ‘Help’ Me

Christine Knapp December 5, 2019

I was polite the first time I was offered long distance reiki as a cure for my disease. I even recall saying thank you. I was newly diagnosed. I needed all the help I could get. And, after all, she was just ‘helping.’ The second offer …
