I’m an elder Gen x’r American woman living in Northern Wisconsin with my husband and two dogs. My name is not Pollyanna, but Rhonda. I am an optimist (hence my alter ego name) whose favorite things in the world, besides people, are reading and writing. My reading habits are eclectic, which bleeds into my writing. If you choose to proceed and give me a follow, here’s what you can expect: anecdotes and stories from my life, essays about what is interesting to me out there in the world at the moment, with a little fan-girling about people I’ve never met that amuse or inspire me, along with some random life and relationship advice you didn’t know you needed.

This blog is essentially about where my head is at in the moment, as a (not literal) student/teacher, a literal woman/sister/grandma/wife/mom to humans/landlord to furry tenants, creative writing fiend who dearly loves music and comedy and is intent on putting good out into this tumultuous world we inhabit.
