Day 5004: Having it all

Posted on September 14, 2026 by Ann Koplow

For me, having it all means having my health, home, work, husband, son, cats, friends, original music, and travel opportunities.

Here’s the Daily Bitch’s perspective on having it all:

I do have the extra five pounds, a busy schedule, and anxiety and angst about the state of the USA, but I’m not having depression or debt right now.

Having it all also means I get to share the thoughts, feelings, and images I have with you every day.

Here’s what I find when I search for “having it all” on YouTube:

What does having it all mean to you?

Thanks to all who are here for this having-it-all post, including YOU!

Day 3908: Artists

Posted on September 14, 2023 by Ann Koplow

When I meet with my “show biz coach” Jeff Leisawitz, he talks to me about artists and includes me as part of that group.

I greatly admire artists and it feels weird and wonderful to consider that I might be one, too.

Speaking of weird, after my “artists” conversation with Jeff last night, I wrote another verse to my song “I Don’t Wanna Be Late (Don’t Wanna Be Early Either.)“

I don’t wanna be weird. Don’t wanna be normal either.

It’s something I’ve often feared, when I’ve tried too hard to be neither.

What’s so bad about being weird? Though I’m weird, I’ve always persevered.

What’s the crime in being normal? Even if you sometimes might have to be formal?

Do you see artists in my images for today?

The Daily Bitch seems to know something about artists.

Here’s what I find when I search for “artists” on YouTube:

I look forward to comments from the artists who are reading this blog post, including YOU.

Day 3544: Never seen

Posted on September 14, 2022 by Ann Koplow

Before this vacation, I’d never seen

the islands off the southeastern coast of Georgia,
the inside of a brain CT scan machine, and
the inside of a Georgia hospital.

You’ve never seen anybody as happy as I’ll be when I get out of this hospital and rejoin my vacation tour of the Georgia islands, which MIGHT be today.

Here are some images I assume you’ve never seen:
