Hiatus...Entering the Chrysalis

I'm taking some time just to be me for me as I keep evolving into a hopefully better and better version of me.

Not to entertain but to just get my projects promised this year but not yet accomplished because of my accident, my covid and instead take time to catch up.

To move all my posts from my former blog to this blog.

Just to get my world ready to hopefully go very mindfully and intentionally into 2021.

With that...there will be no new episodes of AUTHENTICALLY YOU until 2021 as I have some great interviews lined up in December and will debut them in the brand new year.

No I don't think new years are magical panaceas but they do allow you to set intentions and try to hit those intentions. I just want to take this time to reflect on what went well this past year, what I'd like to see change and how I can see more of my friends while still being safe.

It's been one helluva year y'all.

One that's changed all of us in ways we can't fully explain. In some ways I'm very happy for this year despite all of the challenges its presented.

Something big is coming...so as I take this time to figure out how to keep connecting with the world realize it's because I truly do have something I want to give to this world.

In my own way.

<3 ANNA

Who is the Notorious BPG?

I'm Anna. Pronounced Ahhhhnah. I am an American woman. With a naturalized citizen, born German Father and an American-born and raised Mother. I have a Master’s Degree in Clinical-Counseling Psychology from LaSalle University with an emphasis in grief and loss, pastoral counseling/religion and human sexuality. Before that, I got my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and Women’s Studies from East Stroudsburg University, and am a proud high school graduate of Easton Area High School (Go Red Rovers!). I’m a Fur Momma only and that is okay. But in the end, I’m just a girl with some ideas who appears to be foolish enough to try to make them realities. I’m flawed in lots of ways. However, I’m also fabulous at the same time and I work hard and learn a lot along life’s journey. Life is a work in progress and I embody that and I am proud of it. I’m a dancer, an amateur cook, a lover, a teacher, a music buff, a film fanatic, a pop-culture vulture, an existentialist, a dreamer and I tend to be fu...

BOXING in the KITCHEN: Hello Fresh!

OUR FIRST MONTH OF BOXING IN THE KITCHEN: Boxed dinners that is provided by various great options and we have paid for our boxes so these responses and reviews are completely our own and not compensated by anyone; and with that - here we go! THE COOK'S EXPERIENCE (ERIK'S SIDE/HE SAID) When my significant other suggested that we try cooking at home, I was really excited. I was thinking to myself, now I can show off my culinary skills and introduce her to the cooking of my childhood. She suggested that we try the box subscription, Hello Fresh and immediately I could hear my mother in the background of my brain saying, "I taught you how to cook, you're better than that." From a cook's perspective, I really enjoyed cooking the Hello Fresh kits. They came neatly prepared and ready to go. The instructions were so simple, it didn't take a lot of time to prepare them. I get off of work at 5:30 pm so by the time I get home and take the fur kids out for a little bit...

Writer's Wednesday: A Poem About A Failed Relationship

HE WAS A WORDSMITH Poem by Anna Maria Terlinden Rogers He was a wordsmith. I hold him in a memory. I am beautifully resilient. I have always been. I am blessed by that. You were my Achilles' heel, the wax I built my wings out of as I tried to fly towards the sun, the shine on those 30 pieces of silver that I betrayed a Messiah for. You were the chink in my armor, the fruit that I wanted to taste just because I wanted knowledge, the person I would have let cut my hair, allowing you to leave me weak. I am blessed to have survived. I always do. I am beautifully resilient. I hold him in a memory. He was a wordsmith.
