Let me be perfectly clear, right off the bat. I DESPISE Trump. I LOATHE him. I think he lacks the competency to tie his own shoes. I do not understand how he is able to dress himself on a daily basis. However, that being said. I think he had to win the election in NovemberContinue reading “A Revelation? A Revolution?”

I Was Told NO.
Indulge me, if you will, for just a moment. My whole life changed when I was seven years old. My particular trauma? My Dad left us. This was not an everyday occurrence in the early 80’s. In fact – we were the exception. I was the outcast at school. I was an original latchkey kid.Continue reading “I Was Told NO.”
I’m Done.
I’m about to be 51 years of age. I’ve been dealing with depression for the last 30 years. Then, in consulting with my psychiatrist, I was told that something I had experienced forever had a name: Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria. Now? I’m in the midst of being diagnosed with ADD. (or ADHD as they seem toContinue reading “I’m Done.”
I Saw Myself Today
It was her. I hadn’t seen her in years, but I recognized her immediately. It was a glimmer to let me know that she was still there. She has been buried by seemingly a lifetime of heartache, struggle and survival. It was her. I saw her and smiled. “There you are. I’ve missed you.” IContinue reading “I Saw Myself Today”
2024
New Year’s Day. It’s charged for me. Possibilities. Energy. A fresh start and a clean slate. How can you not love that? I’ve closed my book on 2023. It was up and down. Lessons learned and opportunities snatched up. I lost my sister. I lost a beloved pet. I walked away from my remaining immediate family member. I’m still physically stressedContinue reading “2024”
Not Dealing
I’ve had a really rough week and I’m not dealing with it very well, at all. My sister passed away last February. I reached out to her best friend and sisters-in-law to see if they wanted to get together for dinner. I guess it hit me harder than I thought. The best friend brought her mother ~ someoneContinue reading “Not Dealing”
Back to School, Again.
So here I go. Back to school, again, at fifty. I love to learn. I love to keep my mind active, and trying new things is always a good idea – unless you’re talking about skydiving. This opportunity arose through work. They are paying my tuition for a University course. I will take as manyContinue reading “Back to School, Again.”
Keeping On
A lot has happened since last I wrote. A mad dash trip to Costa Rica, to visit my sister in her declining health before she passed away at the end of February. Two promotions at work. My 50th birthday. A trip with 3 of my best friends. My youngest son moved out and far away.Continue reading “Keeping On”
Happy New Year 2023!
The new year always inspires me. Even though I know in the back of my head that I will be super depressed in a matter of a few short weeks, for today; I am inspired by all the possibilities ahead of me. 365 new days. 365 chances to reinvent yourself. 365 opportunities. If we areContinue reading “Happy New Year 2023!”
Knots
My new job is literally making me sick to my stomach. I like the company. I like my colleagues. I absolutely love working from home. But I don’t feel as if I know enough to help my clients to the best of my ability. My old role was in a toxic (to me) environment, butContinue reading “Knots”
