Dear Friend, I didn’t mean to go away. At the time of my whirlwind of self-involved disappointment, I missed seeing that this would be your last year. When I finally woke up from my frazzle tizzy rat-race life, I was weeks too late. You were already on your way out, one foot out the door.Continue reading “Sorries, Goodbyes and Oatmeal”

Want My Bad Day?
I was cruising around Pinterest today and came across this quote, “There are people who would love to have your bad days.” Very true, I thought. People out there would love to have what I consider a bad day. It would be a pain free day, or a day without abuse, a day withoutContinue reading “Want My Bad Day?”
Blankets of Regret
Feeling sadness for my friend who left our world this yesterday. I’ve been mourning her for two weeks, since I got the call that she was transitioning. Transitioning. How I love her and how sad I am for how much time I missed with her this last year. I thought I’d have more time. HowContinue reading “Blankets of Regret”
She is Fierce!
This is a photo from our recent family vacation. It was dusk and the kids were wild so we took them out to the beach to run. The boys headed into the water to play while my daughter dashed back and forth trying to dodge the crashing waves. She is a little handful. SheContinue reading “She is Fierce!”
Kicking Out Mommy Guilt
Mommy guilt wasn’t something I often struggled with until recently. Now I seem to struggle with it all of the time. Having a demanding work schedule along with my responsibility to my photography clients, writing and my role as Municipal Liaison (ML) for my regional NaNoWriMo, has left me with not a lot of quality time. That isContinue reading “Kicking Out Mommy Guilt”
Asking for Help
Day Three of the Do Over challenge tells you to actually ask for help. I have a lot to post about the topic of asking for help. In fact, one of the few famous people that I would gnaw my arm off to meet wrote an entire book about it. The Art of Asking. IContinue reading “Asking for Help”
For Want of Time
If you read yesterday’s post you’ll see that I started the10 Day Do Over challenge. For my challenge I chose to learn more about the art of writing. Something I’ve been meaning to do and something I wish I had spent more time doing in college. This morning I grabbed the Do Over workbook andContinue reading “For Want of Time”
Rude Drivers and Elevator Etiquette
To the man who raised his hands in exasperation to me while driving today, Sir, I don’t know what you wanted. I was waiting to turn left into 8th Street Family Video and you were in a long string of on-coming traffic. You slowed down and flashed your lights at me… but you didn’t slowContinue reading “Rude Drivers and Elevator Etiquette”
Coffee Non-conformist
I’m drinking coffee. I dislike coffee. Anything that looks like dirt mixed with water should be met with distrust. Except in cases that involve chocolate. I like chocolate. Therefore I take my dirt water and mix it with a teaspoon of cocoa. About a 1/2 cup of coconut milk and a packet of Splenda. ItContinue reading “Coffee Non-conformist”
Late Night Brain Gumbo
This is an amalgam of junk to let you know what I’m up to. Brain Gumbo. Let’s start with the fact that I am stupid? I’m dumb because I try to do too much. Like all the time. My new job requires longer hours AND some nights too. Like three nights last week. But IContinue reading “Late Night Brain Gumbo”
