Hi. Happy Monday (oxymoron?). I found myself involved in a situation today where I had to ask myself if I was being too sensitive. I didn’t just ask myself. I actually called my mother and asked her whether she thought I was too sensitive. She told me that I didn’t need to justify my feelings… Continue reading Day 165.

How is it that we suddenly know or recognize the love of another human once we have our own shit figured out? Ah. This is a hard one. This might be the hardest bit. And yet, if you might remember, I didn’t hesitate before I told my nephew that I knew, that I know, he… Continue reading Days 162-164.

Hey. I know that I have talked about this before, but I believe it to be an absolute truth, so here goes: There are ebbs and flows in relationships. Very few people like to admit this because it feels disappointing and dirty, and yet the feelings in a relationship DO waiver. We love each other… Continue reading Day 161.

Once we know love, why do we have to look at it again? Well, we don’t. You can take love when it first hits you or as you are first presented with it, and then lock it up and never look back. You can do that. The thing is, love is a movable object. It… Continue reading Day 160.

Hiya. Are you angry with me? Bit of a cliffhanger? I know, I know. It’s the truth though. We get love wrong a lot. And then sometimes, we get it right and it’s not right. Oh geez, that’s stressful, huh? Yes. But also, not. That’s what this whole journey is all about. We need to… Continue reading Day 159.

I was talking to my nephew on the phone the other day and as we were wrapping up our call (which is actually quite sad because he’s a super smart, chatty little boy), I told him I loved him. In turn, he responded that he loves me. I paused and said “I know.” Unlike his… Continue reading Day 158.

End of the week. Wa-freaking-who. We made it. Congratulations. Felt like we were never going to get here. Right? Or was it just like that for me? I was beginning to feel a little hopeless. I still feel that post-vacation heaviness. I still feel the result of the work that I did while I was… Continue reading Days 155-157.

Today we are going to talk about people whose cups are full. Do you know anyone like this? Surely you do. Nearly everyone I’ve dated has been one of these people. I’ve morphed into this kind of person for brief periods as a way to self-preserve. I have had many, many friends like this, some… Continue reading Day 154.

Hi friends. We took the longer way to get to the why but now I want to get to the what. Quicker. Easier. Here is the what: everything. You have to look at everything. The friendships you think are rock solid, dig in. The relationships that bring tingles to your stomach, take a closer look.… Continue reading Day 153.

Hi kids. Welcome back. Happy Tuesday. Strange the way that works, huh? After Monday comes Tuesday and so on and so forth, and then suddenly, it’s the weekend. Insane. I’m not going to torture you with talk about time flying anymore. Well, not right now anyway. We have too much to talk about. Just a… Continue reading Day 152.
