    Losing Your Junk and Swimming in the Pool of Commoners

    So, over on our substack, LIVING HAPPY, I’ve been talking a lot about creating our own realities in relation to success and meaning.  This is really just sort of diving deep to realize that maybe your perspective isn’t the one you want. When you attain your goals, do they satisfy you? That’s really the question. Listen to us talk about this, losing your junk (and word choice) and finding success your own way.

Thanks for being here with me and cheering me on, and I hope that you can become braver this year, too! Hey, thanks for listening to Carrie Does Poems.

    Eight types of drunkards and law-breaking Santa clauses a scene in the UK

    Since it’s the time of holidays for many religions, we thought it would be a great time to talk about the ancient types of drunk-foolery from the 1500s and how they still exist today. And, a random story about a sleigh-riding Santa. There’s a great post on Medium from back in November by Jack Shepherd one of Buzzfeed’s former directors. I know nothing about Jack Shepherd but he has a post “These Are the 8 Types of Drunk, According to the 16th Century” and since NYE is coming up, I wanted to have a podcast about it. All of Shepherd’s list comes from Thomas Nashe wrote a pamphlet called “Pierce Penniless: His Supplication to the Devil.” Nashe was on this Earth in the late 1500s and he was a silly man. DOG TIP FOR LIFE Don’t wait to be drunk to tell people you love them. Embrace who you are without the intoxicating liquors, human.

    To e.g. or to i.e., that is the question

    Sometimes you see these little bastards in text or sometimes you might want to put them in there yourself. Gasp! We aren’t here to tell you how to be fancy or not, but we are here to let you know how to be fancy correctly and not look like a schmuck. E.g. is short for exempli gratia, or “for example.” But this is a REAL example, so you can use it when you mean, “here are examples.” I.e. is short for id est, which pretty much means “that is” or “in other words.” This one you use like you’re saying “in other words” or “in essence.” It usually clarifies things. So, you could say, I like books, e.g. big books, small books, happy books, cook books, all books that rhyme, all books about crime, all books about time. Someone might punch you if you say that, but whatever. You do you. For i.e., you would write, I like books, i.e., anything that I can read and is bound or on my Kindle or Nook. You’re clarifying what books are. Or you could say, I like some books, i.e., anything by Carrie Jones and only Carrie Jones. Shameless self plug up there. Thanks for listening to Write Better Now. The music you hear is made available through the creative commons and it’s a bit of a shortened track from the fantastic Mr.ruiz and the track is Arctic Air and the album is Winter Haze Summer Daze. For exclusive paid content, check out my substack, LIVING HAPPY and WRITE BETTER NOW. It’s basically like a blog, but better. There’s a free option too without the bonus content but all the other tips and submission opportunties and exercises are there.

    Weird Junk Finds and Key Take-aways From Spending Time with Spiritual Leaders

    This week we talk about the take-aways from spending time with the Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu, plus weird junk finds. Because why not? Filmmaker Peggy Callahan spent a lot of time listening to spiritual leaders while working with author Doug Abrams who co-authored The Book of Joy. She wrote for the Today Show, “Their message is needed now more than ever. We’re heading into the “most wonderful time of the year” and yet so many people are struggling. We’re wrestling with how to bring “joy to the world” when life is wrought with stress and challenges.” They also created  “Mission: JOY — Finding Happiness in Troubled Times,”a documentary. DOG TIP FOR LIFE! There’s nothing wrong with loving your stuff. – Pogie the puppy. SHOUT OUT!

    Grammy Barnard Poem: A Dream

    Hi! This year (2022), I’ve decided to share a poem on my blog and podcast and read it aloud. It’s all a part of my quest to be brave and apparently the things that I’m scared about still include: My spoken voice My raw poems. Thanks for being here with me and cheering me on, and I hope that you can become braver this year, too! I say all that, but sometimes I feature a Grammy Barnard Poem. Grammy Barnard died at the age of 102 and I was the youngest child by a lot of her youngest child, so in my head she was always older. I think she was in her 70s when I was born. These poems make me feel a bit closer to her, allow me to imagine her in her 30s. And I like being able to do that. So, here’s a Grammy Barnard poem. Hey, thanks for listening to Carrie Does Poems. The music you hear is made available through the creative commons and it’s a bit of a shortened track from the fantastic Eric Van der Westen and the track is called “A Feather” and off the album The Crown Lobster Trilogy. https://freemusicarchive.org/music/eric-van-der-westen/the-crown-lobster-trilogy-selection
