When we talk about how to survive, we might be referring to the survival from an accident or an illness. But is that the only type of survival we have to experience? No! How about the survival of life? How do girls survive junior high school when all of a sudden their best friends of... Continue Reading →
Confessions…
I promised myself that I was not going to write in my blog this week but instead to spend the week really self-reflecting on myself. I have come to the conclusion that I am as strange a nut as anyone else. I've always accepted from people their own confessions about being different...whether that be that... Continue Reading →
Who are we without our masks?
Tonight I was chatting with one of my most favorite people in the world...someone I know would take my back no matter what! And just in passing, she mentioned someone in my life who I have always felt had always gotten away with his misdeeds...someone who she met during the wake of one of my... Continue Reading →

Every once in a while, I might see what I imagine to be a happy mother with a beautiful child in stroller or carriage and the thought might cross my mind...wow, that really would have been so cool, to have become a mother. But I'm pretty sure there are a lot more women out there of all ages who look at me and my life who say to themselves, "Shit, I wish I had stayed single so I could have had her life."
To be grateful…
Every once in a while I throw a tantrum...as though I'm not getting my way...like a teenager. It's what I equate to things not going how I want or expected them to...me having a feeling or emotion that I don't like and so I have to get up and start again. When I say start... Continue Reading →
