Some of you may not really know me. I’ve been through a lot. I’ve grown a lot. I’m still growing. I’ve fought unseen battles in the dark through tear-soaked eyes and whispered (or screamed) prayers, and I’ve fought battles in the light through public ridicule and commentary. But I’m still swinging. Today is the day … Continue reading Bruises

Sing for the Light
Call me into the deep where you are waiting I've missed the feel of you My head can hear you and my sensibilities know you but my emotions have fallen out the window. Who have I become that my emotion is absent? I was passion now I'm passive and that isn't enough. I don't want … Continue reading Sing for the Light
When tomorrow comes
Today was a blip in eternity A small stardust glimpse of reality lived Or maybe not lived to the fullest Or enough of a moment to leave a mark Who knows Today is a moment coming What will it bring? Who will I be in the midst of the noise? Who am I in the … Continue reading When tomorrow comes
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

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
Not your neighborhood optimist…
I try to be optimistic. I really do. But let's be real...some nights are harder than others. Some nights I'm scratching and clawing through life. I wish I could lie like the social media crud we see daily and pretend my life is perfect and I have faith at every moment, but lying is a … Continue reading Not your neighborhood optimist…
A Note from Bionic Me
I love a good challenge. I love to learn and absorb new things around me. I started using a new computer program today that I've never used and had to force myself to stop messing with it, because I have other things to do and I can learn more later. I often think I can … Continue reading A Note from Bionic Me
What now?
There are many inconceivable stories around us every day that we haven't heard. We have no idea what the person next to us has lived. We can't conceive the stories that aren't ours...that aren't open to the vast space of the known. We hold glimpses not substance. We hold illusions and self-constructed paradigms, based on … Continue reading What now?
Happiness
Happiness is spending an hour on the phone with your grandmother. Happiness is legacy wrapped in light with sprinkles of hope and contentment. Happiness doesn't come cheap. Sometimes it"s wrapped in struggle. Sometimes it is plain. But it is yours. Grab it and hold on!
