Sometimes you need to observe someone else struggling in order to see your own. I have written before about my struggle with control. From seemingly insignificant things like the way a book is going to end or searching for spoilers to see if I want to see a movie to the feelings I experienced after… Continue reading there is always something to learn
So I decided to give dating a shot again. Such a strange world to be a part of. On Friday night I met a man for dinner. We had a nice time, often commiserating on the ‘joys’ of dating. One of the things he mentioned was logistics. One story was about someone he dated for… Continue reading reflection
So, while I try to be positive & grateful, truth be told, there are things that make me cranky. Here is one. I have already mentioned in another blog that while I’m not a fan of pumpkins, I do love me some fall. The cooling tempratures and the changing colors make me happy.

So you know every once in a while when you realize you just looked at the clock to see the time, to know when your daily morning phone call was coming? Then you pause because you don’t get a morning phone call anymore? Yeah, that. Then you sit with it for a bit because you… Continue reading Monday Monday
I am struggling with having so much I want to say but, they are fragments & pieces of my journey, none seem ready for the light. I have had so many realizations in the last two weeks. Generally, I am actually proud of myself for my willingness to ‘see’ what I do, to ‘identify’ my… Continue reading Assignment: Receive
I am highly suspect of those who claim not to have ‘baggage’ As imperfect creatures, it is impossible.
