Blapril Day 3 - Please send a prayer

I can't blog today. I found out some upsetting news about a good friend of mine. I'm struggling to deal with this and don't have the mindset to write. I'm sure you'll understand. 
 
If you could say a prayer and send good vibes, I would appreciate it.

Wow, where have I been?!

Wow.  Girls. Ladies. Bitches.   I fell into Nowhere Land. Allowed life to steal my voice.   I spend a decade writing with ChicagoNow. That blog was fun,  That blog was my expression. That blog was ME. Period.   I miss that time. I miss writing on the daily. And I need to get back to it, for my own mental health.  And to hopefully continue to entertain others. The stories I could tell...WEEHOO!  Divorce. Freedom. Spiritual reconciliation. Aging. Menopause. Children becoming adults. The sound of silence. Perfecting the art of Not Giving A Shit.  Ah. Can you smell it? Can you see it?  I'm on the cusp of turning double-nickels, and honesty have never felt more comfortable in my own skin.  I'd like to share this journey. Will you come with me?

Red Does Divorce...or does she?

A million years ago, I became Lotus Blu Mama, a blog that I started to document my transition from having an advertising career with a million dollar media corporation to being a WAHM. And let's just say, that transition was, um, a bit traumatic. Over time my inner voice was beyond stifled, confused and frustrated, to the point when one day she decided to come out screaming like a Banshee. Her name was Lotus Blu Mama.  Those who know, know. I spent years as LBM until the Tribune took notice. If I were to write for them, I would have to change my blog name. My friends have and still do give me the nickname of Red. And at the time, I had a husband and two kids. My company. At that point, Red & Company was born.  Again, those who know, know. Most of you reading this are (were) followers of my blog hosted by ChicagoNow. You saw my career go from 0 - 1,000mph. Suddenly I was getting nation attention...on television twice, on multiple radio talk shows, secured speaking gigs, eve...

Let Me CBD My Way Out The Door

I haven't blogged in 2 days, Imma slackacracking. Life threw something at me recently and I needed time to process. One true lesson in life is you never know what's going to happen. Let me just reiterate something you've heard a million times already - please tell the people you love that you love them. Often. A close friend of mine went through some serious life altering stuff a week ago, she's still in recovery. The thought of losing her is terrifying. So please, text/call/email your loved ones. We may never get a second chance.  Wow, what a way to liven a blog, Tara!  Meh. So far this year, same shit different day. Endless job searching, ridiculous job interviews (which I detailed in my last blog), starting a new job and all the stressors that come with that, mix in dealing with trivial personal issues that eventually blow up to elephant size problems...it's enough to seriously scar anyones psyche.  BUT...I recently found an amazing soothing remedy, in the form o...
