Spiritual Medium & Author
Sometimes I wonder if I would survive better with my heart hardened in this world. Whether it is unprovoked war, pandemic, death, famine, or hate focused on the vulnerable the news seems to spew despair in some form or the other on a daily basis. Well, I am not sure we should even call it [...]
It is odd that we have this new rule about being six feet apart. It is surreal and yet somehow so familiar. I think I have been six feet apart from people all my life. Was my feeling of distance from other that spawned my feeling of being unworthy of connection? Or were my differences [...]
His natural, thin-lipped, wide-mouth grin carried so much sunshiny warmth I felt like I had just been placed center stage; in the spotlight. His shoulders were broad, yet slender and tilted forward in a slight hunch. The charcoal gray T-shirt that hung loose on his frame was light and the fabric seemed sheer and soft. [...]
Have you ever felt that how you were wired was somehow wonky, and you were never going to understand or fit the mold that you were supposed to? These words were written fourteen months ago and have sat and sat, but they plague my heart and head. Maybe unleashing them here will bring more clarity...maybe.
The other day I read a post by Rachel Macy Stafford, otherwise known as the Hands Free Mama. She said we should share songs with people, you can read that post here. Songs have spoken to me always. And today was no different. Coming home from the grocery store Zach Williams' Fear is a Liar [...]
So a few weeks ago I gave myself a pep talk, (you can read it here). It's one of those posts that caused a lot of hullabaloo. See when I write about my personal life, and it causes chaos I want to run and hide and scream and then never, ever write again. Ever. Never. [...]
Maybe this diet is driving me crazy, or perhaps it's the news that another precious baby is now in heaven because cancer took over her nine-year-old body, which by the way is beyond awful...beyond devastating...or maybe it's because it's a Friday and I feel like there are so many damn problems in the world I [...]
"You need to forget what society has told you about life and expectations, and don't let anybody make you pretend. You are enough, just the way you are..." [...]
Ready...set...run. Ready...set...hide. Ready...set...blend. Ready...set...invisible. These are my default. If you were to meet me or see me out and about after just knowing me from my blog I think you would be surprised. I am the girl who stands away from the crowd. I am the one who doesn't speak up. The first to arrive [...]
There are moments when I am alone with my thoughts and usually that is a good thing, but sometimes my mind starts to stir with worry. Usually I am pretty good about focusing back in on the present. I know it isn't healthy to live in the past or too far in the future, but [...]
Vague Amazing Insightful Wise Funny Wordy Transparent Authentic Relatable Lunatic Bully Hate Hypocrite Liar Monster Sinner Fraud Stupid Ignorant Racist Words are so powerful. Each of us has either been lifted or defeated by a few simple words. Since an early age I have had a love of words. I love the shape and sounds [...]
In a world that always has fire-breathing dragons we need life-breathers, too. Yesterday was like any other day; work steadily flowing in and projects to complete, kids to love and instruct, bickering to manage, meals to prepare, guilt and stress to squelch, and of course the echoes of the outside world that sneak into our [...]
My friend, Katrina, is to put it mildly...amazing. She recently attended a writing retreat where she was asked to write about a life changing experience/person and she chose to write about a reading she had with me. I thought it might be interesting for you to read about a reading from the other side of [...]
"You are only given one little spark of madness. You mustn't lose it." - Robin WilliamsEven as I type this fear grips me, I am breaking out in a sweat and my fingers shake. Getting out of bed this week has been harder than it's been in three months. The horror that depression won this week [...]
Today was so much fun! I had wished and dreamed for a day to spend with my cousins. A couple of weeks ago my cousin asked if I would want to go to the wine stroll with her and my other cousin. I didn't want to sound too desperate so I casually said sure, when [...]
