My Wacky Revelation

It's been a loooong time...but new post up.

I have been a little (translation – a lot) lost on this page and blog. I have been trying to figure out why and I think I finally have. I didn’t really know how I saw it. Well, that isn’t really accurate – I know how I see it, I just wasn’t writing completely through that lens. I knew all those years ago when I started this on blogger that it had to be named How I See It. I didn’t know why I was…

STILL Obsessed With The Obsessed Network

Full Disclosure - This post is transported (and updated) from an old site I worked with because I initially wrote it for here and put it there when content was needed. It is 100% my writing and is simply being placed here where it belonged all along.

Full Disclosure – This post is transported (and updated) from an old site I worked with because I initially wrote it for here and put it there when content was needed.

If you are obsessed with watching documentaries about Bundy, Dahmer, or Gacy, this is the place for you. Come on…

The Lasting Impact of Matthew Shepard On 90s LGBTQIA+ Youth

The October 1998 beating and death of 21-year-old Matthew Shepard left an indelible mark on those of us who were growing up LGBTIA+ in the 1990s...

Let’s be honest here. Things for marginalized communities are particularly bad everywhere right now, including (or especially depending on your point of view) the States. I have to ask a question though…did it really get that much better at any point? Because to be honest, I don’t think it did. AN OVERVIEW OF THE 1990S AND lgbtqia+ If you weren’t a closeted teen in the 1990s (or even a teen for…

Creating With ADHD

What is it like to be a creator with ADHD? The same way it is to just be someone with ADHD - a wild ride...

Okay, so can we all acknowledge that neurodivergence and adult ADHD are real? I do not want to waste time validating the deficiency of norepinephrine in my brain or any other factors that contribute to my being in the neurodivergent category. Just trust me. I have been diagnosed as multiply neurodivergent with genetic innate and acquired factors. Being neurodivergent is a blessing and a curse,…

TAKE HEED FROM THE CLOWNS

So those of you who know me, may know that I often have some rants, or as my wife calls them “nutties” or “Heather Moments.” Thanks babe. I CANNOT sit idly by however, as I have read ANOTHER article about what I refer to as clear signs that the Clownpocalypse is steaming toward us full steam ahead. For those of you who do not know me very well, I must let you know that I love most things horror…

Well, how about that?

So, I haven’t written in awhile. Really, I have no excuse other than, you know, life. However, recently I have been doing some thinking about that. I love to write, I love to blog and I love to unapologetically be the person who is not consumed by my career. I love to be the big nerd in the room, who honestly believes it is not what you do for a living but what you do for humanity that is what…

My True Coming Out Story

I recently fully came out of the closet. Not about being a lesbian. I have been out about that for varying times to different people, but the final coming out of that particular closet was a decade ago. No, no people (AKA you Sardynski). To actual come out of the closet about my sexual orientation was actually not overly scary as a whole. I knew from my past history that my family would love me…

TAKE ME OUT TO THE BALL GAME...

TAKE ME OUT TO THE BALL GAME…

I have been a baseball fan for as long as I can remember. I can’t remember a time in my life where I wasn’t. As a kid, I can still remember the tiny gloves I had. I remember learning how to grip a ball more than I remember learning how to play the piano, which I actually took lessons for. I don’t remember a time when I didn’t know how to point with the glove and throw to that spot, and following…

The Best Season

I am so happy Fall is here. This is my favorite season of the year. Which in a way, proves I am a glutton for punishment since in many ways, Fall is the worst season for my body. My bad ankle swells up with the weather, and my arthritis acts up with it. The leaves kill my allergies, and it is the only season where I really have an issue with asthma. None of that matters though, not to me. It is…

My most recent moronic choice

So, you want to know what makes me feel really stupid lately? Deciding to do a healthy lifestyle change, including a work weight loss challenge during the best time of year to eat junk food. You name a Fall/Holiday treat, and I adore it. This is the best time of year (see my last blog) in so many ways to me, I can NOT believe I was stupid enough to agree to this. I mean, right now I am just…

And so, yeah - November

And so, yeah – November

November. In this house it is known as the start of the busiest time of the year. Not necessarily the most wonderful time of the year as some songs that will soon begin to play ad nauseam would have you believe. No. It is the start of birthday season for us, as well as the build up to the holiday season, and the time of year where we are busy at work, busy personally, just busy at every turn.…

Yes, I am Mom

In today’s society it is normal for families to be made up of many different kind of mixes. No longer is this the world of racially ambiguous Dad, Mom, 2.5 kids, dog and white picket fence. This is the world of advancing melting pot families – at least on first look. Being a part of one of those families however is completely different then checking a box for diversity. I love my wife and my…

So It Begins

I am not going to give numbers, but I am going to be completely open and honest. My doctor really isn’t giving me a choice anymore, and I have to lose weight. I know I need to. I want to. I want to be the best and healthiest me for my daughter and wife – but this is an area that I truly suck at. I simply am not good at sticking to it. I should be. I have pretty good self control. I can deny…

Writers Block Rant

So I am doing better with dieting and exercising then writing…what????????? I am down 6 pounds since May 1. I am exercising at least 3 days a week, sticking to the diet and going strong. I am sucking out at writing. I can’t focus. I have no clue what to write about. I sit down and can’t get there. So I am keeping myself honest by updating the blog. I hope that it will jump start something. I am…

No such thing as color blind...

No such thing as color blind…

OK, so, have always prided myself on being color blind. Oh I don’t notice people’s skin color I say witheringly. Well I used to. I would get enfuriated when people said that it was impossible not to notice people’s skin color right away. As I got older, as I became a fighter for rights for my LGBTQ community I was forced to a realization. I do notice. They were all right. There is NO such thing…

Let’s ALL commit to taking a risk today…

In today’s turbulent world it may seem strange that I am saying today it is more important then ever to take risks, but that is the idea I am proposing today. Whether the risk is talking to someone you normally wouldn’t, going skydiving, joining an organization you normally wouldn’t, taking your dream job or attending your first protest, do yourself a favor and make the leap. Taking risks will…

Introduction to my strange and secret passion....

Introduction to my strange and secret passion….

Blogging is something I want to do regularly and often fall behind in – I mean, a lot. Why?? Because I worry too much about putting out there what I feel people may want to read, or that I feel I should due to the current terrifying climate of the world. I am scared to write anything that my family or friends might take offense to or be embarrassed by me. Why is that a problem – why does it make…
