I’ve always loved people watching. I could sit and watch people for hours…watching children play…watching moms chasing after their children…watching friends…lovers…and everyone in between. As someone who’s never really felt like I fully fit, I LOVED watching the way other people fit together. And, let me tell you, if you’ve never people watched in aContinue reading “The Station”

Dear Zuck, If you’re reading this, my sentence is up and I have been released. However, I still have things to say. Mostly… Not Sorry. Not even a little bit. See, you put me in jail for two crimes: 1. Being absolutely fucking hilarious. It’s true. There are many areas of life where I fallContinue reading “Dear Zuck, Not Sorry”

A few introductions to this particular blog. First, I have this thing I do when I’m REALLY anxious. I call it the Strikethrough Exercise. When all of the thoughts are swirling…the worries…the negativity…and I feel like I can’t control them…I write them down…one by one…and then…one by one…I cross through each thought and write nextContinue reading “All of Life’s Wealth is CHANGE”

Warning: Shit’s about to get real up in here. Lol Everyone knows I’ve been having blackouts from POTS. The thing is, although each one has been scary… each one has also fueled me further in a, “the fuck you *will* take my life from me” capacity. Each one has pushed me further in my driveContinue reading “THE Blackout”

We’ve all done it. We’ve heard a friend who is struggling and our first instinct is to let them know they’re not alone. Our first instinct is to say, “Me, too.” Because we’ve been there. We’ve survived it. We have the fight in the rearview mirror (or we’re at least starting to drive). We canContinue reading “Me, t…Actually, I’m Listening”

It’s funny how out of the blue a moment of clarity can be. We can be faced with a situation for years…think it through in a million ways…never fully finding the answer…and then one day…BAM! Like a football to Marcia Brady’s nose. It’s also funny how we can truly believe we’ve handled a situation fullyContinue reading “Don’t Give (it) Up”

A few weeks back I mentioned that I wanted to do some blogging on organizations and causes that need our help. There’s a lot of reason to the “Why” on this…and I’m going to give a brief explanation on this first blog regarding this specific topic before I jump into the first organizations. So…anyone whoContinue reading “Give A Little: Part 1. Foster Care.”

I’ve been thinking a lot about bravery the past couple of weeks. I’ve never considered myself a brave person. I mean…I’ve considered myself a stupid person because I usually have no regard for self preservation when it comes to certain daredevil type things…and when it comes to putting someone else before myself. But, not brave.Continue reading “Brave”

I am in a fantastic mood today. Just deep down internal happiness. (Give me a minute to get to the Whoah.) It’s been awhile since I felt this. Things have just been spiraling since October, but I feel HOPE today. Will this feeling of perfect happiness last every second of the rest of my life?Continue reading “Whoah”

It doesn’t happen often, but sometimes the words want out before the sleep can come in. Tonight was one of those nights. 🤷‍♀️ Lying and staringAt the ceiling againThe words start to swirlPaper begging for pen The dreams that we dreamAre not just for the nightFrom year to year the hopesAnd wishes take flight ButContinue reading “Dreams”
