So here I am sitting down in front of this blank, empty, and completely daunting screen, without any real idea as to what I want to write about, but nevertheless committing to the process - the blindly awkward and completely uncomfortable one. It’s been almost 6 months since I have written anything and I’m fairly … Continue reading I Want To Go Where The Squeaky Wheels Take Me

It’s only 10:30 am and I’ve already cried four or five times today. I drove half way to meet my Mom this morning. We sat in a parking lot for over an hour and talked about life. I could barely get the words out, “Thank you for being such a great Mom.” Then I came home to homemade treasures, … Continue reading

Lay on the couch and let yourself crumble into a million pieces. As you sob uncontrollably let your gaze slowly drift to the subtle movement of the spider on your ceiling. Stop crying immediately and become pensive, almost philosophical.

For the most part it worked out … Continue reading How Long Do You Sit With The Broken Parts Of Your Life?

I had a pretty scary parenting moment the other week, the details of which I may disclose in a future post, but it was bad - in fact it was straight up ugly. I wasn’t at my best and my anger, which has been known to rage from time to time, took off uncontrollably and … Continue reading My Inner Critic Is Here And She Won’t Let Me Write!

On a day that seems ordinary, just remember. It could be that reassuring glance of solidarity. Or those few simple words that you spoke. It could be the smile you were hesitant to give.
