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 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”
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!

If we areContinue reading “Happy New Year 2023!”
HouseBound
Seven days. I’ve been housebound for seven days. While it seems like it would be a nice treat to be off of work for a week, I literally feel like I’ve done nothing. Monday, I had some blood work done and a Covid-19 test – not pleasant at all. Then straight home to quarantine, untilContinue reading “HouseBound”
*sigh*
I’ve been married a long time. I adore my husband and he is and always will be my best friend. We’ve sort of let life get in the way of passion, and I miss it. I see the way Dom Sherwood kisses Kat McNamara in Shadowhunters – like he’s starving for her. And I’m jealous.
It’s Special
“It’s just amazing to know I crossed your mind for a second.” Life is a crazy thing. And special. And sometimes it overwhelms me that that there are all these people and they each have a life. Each person has a story. So, to think, that someone would take even a second of the dayContinue reading “It’s Special”
Wednesday Night
The Real Housewives of…fill in the blank. They aren’t real. I’m real. I’m not a housewife per say, but rather a wife of 26 years. I want to preface this whole thing that I do love my husband. He is my best friend in the whole wide world. This, however, is where I’m at… I’mContinue reading “Wednesday Night”
