There was so much on my mind when I sat down to write today. So many topics. So many experiences. So many songs. So much going on. I had a hard time narrowing the scope to decide what was most pressing. That’s just it though, there was one thing that I couldn’t push out of… Continue reading I realized that I’m somebody…

I Save Me (uttered with gratitude).
I used to think when I was in trouble Someone would come in right up on a white horse And come sweep me up of my feet That's what I used to think, but I don't think that no one desire to just found My own life lies to save, to save, to save me… Continue reading I Save Me (uttered with gratitude).
For M (from a fellow HSP).
I had an intention to write to another prompt today, but then I was moved in a different direction. I’m going to keep the impetus for this shift quiet for now, to protect the people who are involved, who happen to be very dear to me. Needless to say, the conversation I had that inspired… Continue reading For M (from a fellow HSP).
What is something not many people understand about you? (A Tribute)
I sat down to write something for a dear friend for her birthday. A story. I was going to write a story. There are so many stories I could tell, but I felt a bit stuck. Writer’s block or something like that. I’m not sure how to categorize it, so I won’t try. Maybe I… Continue reading What is something not many people understand about you? (A Tribute)
Be patient with your pain.
I was watching In Therapy as I’m apt to do in the early hours and the last few minutes of a particular episode absolutely captivated me. I rewound and replayed them no less than five times. I don’t want to give anything away in case you’re apt to watch, but I do want to share… Continue reading Be patient with your pain.
What career advice would you give to your 16-year-old self?
Oh geez. I don’t know what career advice I’d give to my 41-year-old self. I don’t even really know what my career is right now. Is this my career? What’s the difference between a career and a job? From what I understand, a job pays the bills, and a career is some sort of professional… Continue reading What career advice would you give to your 16-year-old self?
Describe the moment you became a grown up.
Sometimes I pause when I read a statement like this. I’m not a grown up, am I? I’ve shared before the feeling of waking up in the middle of the night in my tiny apartment and thinking ‘wow, this is mine…I live in place all by myself’. I’m not ashamed of such thinking. I think… Continue reading Describe the moment you became a grown up.
But, why?
Lately I’ve been pondering the whole ‘why bad things happen to good people’ business. Unfortunately, I’ve borne witness to some pretty shitty things happening to some incredible people, which is the origin of these thoughts. I feel frustrated. What I’ve learned is that it’s not necessarily about the people who are telling you that they… Continue reading But, why?
What’s one conversation that’s transformed your life?
I was always afraid of confrontation. Not the in-your-face-fuck-off portion of that whole deal. Nope. More the fear related to the outcome of such a thing. You know what I’m talking about, right? The proverbial ‘they’ always tell you to only ask the questions where you’re prepared to hear the answers (no matter what). Of… Continue reading What’s one conversation that’s transformed your life?
Post-Sting.
Well, hey there. How was the weekend? Mine was glorious. A few hiccups but nothing to do with my company or our activities. Just external forces. Friendships. Relationships. The world. Ya know, little baby shit. Anyway, I promised last week that I would discuss what happens if you get stung and I am a woman… Continue reading Post-Sting.
