Don’t expect me to be perfect. Don’t expect me to always be wise. Don’t expect no tears…they come with the territory…that is me. Don’t expect perfection I’m just a girl, who likes to write my feelings into the air. Take it or leave it. Don’t expect polish from a heart that is raw. Don’t expect … Continue reading What NOT to expect when you’re expecting

On Neighbors and Whether They are Loveable
Unwittingly, and despite my best efforts, I am at war with my neighbors. Well, they live a few houses down, but same idea. It's a silly feud, which I take partial responsibility for, though I revel at the length it has come to. I, as an empathetic pacifist, cannot fathom the depths one would take … Continue reading On Neighbors and Whether They are Loveable
Today…tomorrow
It is human to look in the closet of broken dreams and wonder if you've done enough or been enough to sustain the hope. But the closet holds so much hope! Never underestimate who you were and who you are now! There's no magic formula that makes us great. It's in the showing up. Am … Continue reading Today…tomorrow
Stupid math
When one and one don't equal two anymore and the equation lays heavy because you know the truth... That is me and you.
Brightness
You are me when the light dims. You are me when the light shines bright We are one. We are whole! Who knew?!? If tomorrow were another moment in the realm of eternity, would we notice the light? How bright can we shine NOW?!? If we aren't light, who are we? Reach for light!
Thunder
I was a human once. I lived, I breathed, I knew who I was. It was somewhere between where husband number one left me a puddle on the floor and husband number two decided I wasn't enough. Maybe I'm not. Maybe they're not. I'm not qualified to say. Tonight, I'm thinking I am beyond expectations … Continue reading Thunder
Feminism, Covid, and Reality
I consider myself a strong woman. I do what needs to be done. If I don't know how, I figure it out. If I can't figure it out, I figure that out. I'm in a mood tonight. I'm sure it's primarily caused by the fact that I tested positive for Covid yesterday. I'm fine. It's … Continue reading Feminism, Covid, and Reality
Thighs, noise, and neurosis
The 40's have been good to me...overall. Despite, the crazy weight gain and hormones going crazy and the stress of my personal life (a story for another day). I've gained weight, lost weight. Adjusted to the new "normal" and feel, overall, comfortable, in my new skin. For the most part... Then today, I wore a … Continue reading Thighs, noise, and neurosis
Don’t Waste the Chains
I've been through a lot in my lifetime. I used to feel a little sorry for myself if I'm being honest. I can remember sad, pitiful, moments when I whined at God because "He must love everyone else more than me since life was so unfair", blah blah blah. I'm ashamed to admit that, but … Continue reading Don’t Waste the Chains
Do you ever sit and stare?
It's been a week! I got sick, probably just a severe cold or flu, but it banned me from humanity in the current Covid climate, despite my negative test results. So I tried to rest, amidst my endless household to do list and everything I fight for and against on the daily. I often wonder … Continue reading Do you ever sit and stare?
