So here we are! On the edge of December... on the verge of yet another new year. Can you believe it? In this month's journal, I talk about the fast pace of life I've become accustomed to lately. Enjoy!

12.11.21 Victory Laps in Outer Space (Poetry, 2021)
"Victory Laps in Outer Space" was written on Dec 10, 2021, from my poetry journal for Oct-Dec 2021, 'Earthly Delights in a Closed Type Universe.' It's an atypically happy yarn. Enjoy (while it lasts)! -BB
12.10.21 The Zing Factor. (Previously Unpublished Journal from 6.7.19)
This is a journal entry from back in June 2019 that was previously unpublished. I thought I'd go ahead and publish it since I hate it when things go unpublished! The moral of the post is... seize the day, and don't hold your breath waiting for tomorrow. Tell your loved ones you love them in the moment! And be the best you can be each day. -BB

"Past Participle" was written on December 3, 2021, at 11:23 pm, in my personal poetry book for Oct-Dec 2021, 'Earthly Delights in a Closed Universe.' It's about the past. Enjoy... -BB
11.30.21 Giving Thanks & Dodging Blanks (Journal)
Over Thanksgiving break, I thought I had Covid (I didn't) and our extended family bailed on us (I'm over it), but we still had a fantastic holiday combo birthday weekend! 😀 Click below for the story. Happy holidays! Get them trees up, yall! xx -BB
11.29.21 The Sentry Returns (Poetry, 2021)
Here is "The Sentry Returns," from my Oct-Dec 2021 poetry book, 'Earthly delights in a closed type universe.' It's about my personal spiritual journey. Enjoy! -BB
11.17.21 Remote Controlled (Poetry, 1990)
"Remote Controlled" was one of my very first poems I wrote way back in 1990, when I was 14, over 31 years ago. This one's about my Dad and I... his alcoholism at the time and his verbal and physical abuse I endured. We made up years later, thankfully, and became best friends before he passed in 2019.
11.16.21 My Dear Alex (One Year Later…) (Journal, 2021)
My Dear Alex (One Year Later...) A year ago, I lost my ex boyfriend Alex to Covid and cancer, and to this day, I miss him terribly... (Journal, 2021).
11.15.21 Fearless (Poetry/Song, 2021)
"Fearless" was written on November 15, 2021 and is contained in my personal poetry book for Oct-Nov 2021, 'Earthly Delights in a Closed Type Universe.' Enjoy! -BB
11.07.21 May I Borrow You For a Minute? (Poetry, 2021)
"May I Borrow You For a Minute?" was written on October 23, 2021, and is contained in my personal poetry book for Oct-Dec 2021, 'Earthly Delights in a Closed Type Universe.' It's about tortured souls and what not, and how they like to feed off people's energy. I did that for a long time myself (can we say, my entire 30's?) Anyhow, growing up is all about self-awareness and changing your ways, becoming a better version of yourself, as I like to do every year. (haha) Enjoy. -BB
