Few times, in my life, have I ever felt this exhausted. Blow me down like the air pumped into a balloon and I will pop Mull me over with words and I will implode to nothing Sink me in the earth with a step and I will cave to dust Sleep is underrated to the, … Continue reading Exhaustion

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
One foot…keep walking
The wind spins circles around my head I see the life before me and I wonder if I'm supposed to be who I am What is life but the continuing of one foot before another?

Do you ever sit and stare?

Tiny sighs and squeaks eek out occasionally as lips move to reflexive smile or the impulse to nurse though his mouth is empty. He sleeps and I adore him. My husband lies across the room still, … Continue reading Adoration
An Angel in Sock Monkey Slippers
She's an angel in sock monkey slippers. Her smile amazes me. She sees the world in color without fear of what others may see. She's come along way since her little blond curls and her belief that apples made her superman. She's stronger than most and wiser than her peers. She's brilliant and discerning. She's … Continue reading An Angel in Sock Monkey Slippers
Why I Do & Don’t Work Out
Everyone knows the benefits of exercise. Doctors, health & nutrition experts, personal trainers, magazine articles, advertisers and celebrities have been telling us for years that if we want to be healthy, we have to work it. For me, that fact alone has done very little to persuade me to get up & move, or worse yet...step … Continue reading Why I Do & Don’t Work Out
