I will never forget the day that someone looked at me…as I was playing with my camera…and said, “You know…they say you can really tell what someone loves in life by what they take pictures of.

Respect…The Missing Ingredient
I rarely use my blog to brag on my boyfriend but something happened this weekend, that honestly was SO fundamentally different from what I’ve experienced in life, that it has stayed in my mind since then. To him…it was probably nothing. It’s just who he is. To me…it was…what I’ve always looked for without evenContinue reading “Respect…The Missing Ingredient”
Positive Ghost Pains
Life lessons…They can hurt. Actually, they usually do. And we all accept that, but….yet…we all also eventually wonder why they still hurt after the lesson has been learned. Here’s why…and why it’s a good thing. A friend and I were talking yesterday. She was telling me about the first time she found REAL adult friendships.Continue reading “Positive Ghost Pains”
It’s Ok
We all have them…those days when you wonder, “What’s wrong with me?”. I’m having one today, so this message is for me as much as it’s for you. IT’S OK. It’s ok to be sad. It’s ok to be scared. It’s ok to feel temporary. It’s ok to feel different. It’s ok to feel lacking.Continue reading “It’s Ok”

I have been asked how I can possibly believe SO STRONGLY that there is aContinue reading “When We’re Silenced”
Fucks: The Ultimate Finite Resource
Today’s Random Thoughts By Sheri got…REALLY random. So. In the field of Environmental Science, there is a phenomenon called The Tragedy of the Commons. (Not a joke. Look it up.

I’ve been thinking about grief today. Which wound up being ironic, as I end my day questioning what grief I have a right to. I shall explain. I’ve had this weird little thought in my head for many years now. “Oh what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to believe.” <—-I know.Continue reading “We Grieve What We Believe”
Oh, Deer…
LSS: Trauma anxiety spirals are a bitch. But a random deer probably saved my day today. How? Read on This…was not the blog I was writing earlier. But, mid-walking-blogging…a deer crossed my path. He didn’t see me and run. He didn’t let his flight instincts force him from his chosen path. He looked at me…leanedContinue reading “Oh, Deer…”
My New Mantra
Today’s random musings from my run: I’ve always tried to live a life of, “I may be the only…”. I’m going to smile at strangers, because I may be the only smile they see today. I’m going to tell someone when I think they look pretty, because I may be the only kind word theyContinue reading “My New Mantra”
Please Speak
The past couple of days we hear ALLLLLLL the opinions. Or do we? We hear those loudly proclaiming their hurt and anger at decisions made. We hear those crowing with glee at a war they feel they “won”. We hear both “sides” loud and clear. Or do we? I am here to share the opinionContinue reading “Please Speak”
