Hello again. I was reading or watching something the other day (I know, sorry- blame the overabundance of content or something) and one of the characters said the following: “What am I going to do with a soul anyway? Souls are boring.” It might have been Succession. Feels very Succession-y, no? I’m not certain though,… Continue reading How DO you sleep at night?

Powerless.
I recently went to the doctor. I’m not going to get into any nitty gritty here. Well, actually, I might. A little. Less because I have a burning desire to reveal my deeply personal shit with you and more because it helps paint the picture that I want to convey.I’ve been having, well, issues (I… Continue reading Powerless.
I am deeply connected to bullies.
Hi. I want to start exploring a topic that’s pretty damn important to me. Like much of what I write, it begins with a story. An old story, but a goodie. And by a goodie, I mean a baddie. I remember the day so vividly. It’s the kind of memory you want to reserve for… Continue reading I am deeply connected to bullies.
Bark up another tree.
I woke up today thinking I would feel better. Somehow, the events of yesterday, and the day(s) before, would have settled into place and I would have some sort of….game plan? That didn’t happen and I don’t feel that way, at all. Instead, I am left feeling saltier. Punchier. I have a ‘the world is… Continue reading Bark up another tree.
Accessories.
I had a topic in mind for this evening. And then I was sent an article about the smear campaign launched at The Trevor Project. And then, I shifted gears. And then I heard the rumor about the overturn of Roe v. Wade. And then, I shifted gears again. And then, I realized I had… Continue reading Accessories.
Big and Little Falls.
Did you have a good laugh at my expense reading the last line of my prior post? It’s okay. I laughed a little while writing it. I mean, we know I spend a lot of time in my own head. Right? An extraordinary amount of time, really. So, it’s best that I clarify. Yes, I… Continue reading Big and Little Falls.
Non-fiction Stories.
I wish I could tell you that yesterday’s story was a piece of pure fiction. I wish I could tell you that I have a vivid imagination and I was able to imagine that kind of pain and terror. I mean, I’m sure I could, but I don’t have to. It happened to me in… Continue reading Non-fiction Stories.
The Fall.
I was writing with a group recently and we were given what’s called a writing prompt. I might have spoken about this before or perhaps you are familiar on your own. As they often do, each of the prompts offered by the leader of this free write session, triggered something profoundly emotional inside of me.… Continue reading The Fall.
Not everyone is going to like you.
Happy Monday! Did I leave your brain spinning all weekend? I’m sorry. That wasn’t my intention. Like I said, this topic is a big one for me and so, I am rigorously and excitedly trying to get every last thought out on paper. The craziest part is that there is still so much left to… Continue reading Not everyone is going to like you.
Get in there….
Hiya. Did you think that I was suggesting that every single relationship needs to be analyzed before one makes a decision how to proceed? Absofuckinglutely. I know that is a difficult concept to process, and there was a time when I would have been scared to share that thought with you. I would have been… Continue reading Get in there….
