What’s the emotion you least like experiencing and why? Mine has always been guilt. I think it’s because guilt usually comes wrapped with fear and anxiety like bacon and cream cheese do in a jalapeno popper. Too much guilt is like weeds in a garden. A few are fine, but the more you have, theContinue reading “Lesson On Guilt”

Lore Living
What is the story you tell of your life? Is it tragic? A story of hardships, if only’s, and passed me by’s. Or is it triumphant? A tale of browbeating challenges, of overcomings, and breakthroughs. Or a nightmare? A tribute to your traumas, inescapable monsters and demons, and fears. We can’t help but cast ourselvesContinue reading “Lore Living”
Acting With Class
Don’t you love it when someone’s genuine? For me, it’s like an art form, the way one is able to speak to my softest bits and make me feel alive. Whereas everyone else will be talking about how Will Smith slapped Chris Rock across the face at the Oscars, I’m more interested in Lady GagaContinue reading “Acting With Class”
A Gentle Ride
There’s a leaf; it looks like a moth, feet gripping to the side of a cedar. March’s chill reminds me still that it’s fall, not spring. I take a breath, a long and heavy breath, to release my previous session. I reset and forget and feel the comfort of my bed from underneath me. TheContinue reading “A Gentle Ride”
Breaking Bad’s Barrier
I’m at a loss on what to write about tonight, so perhaps I’ll start with the weather: It rained like crazy today. Oh, but then the sun broke through. For a moment. Then it vanished. I recall it raining a bunch more. And oddly enough the sun came again. But not to fear, it’s rainingContinue reading “Breaking Bad’s Barrier”
Orchestratic Event
Our words have power; they can shake the ground someone walks on and can pierce into a person’s heart. “Either you intentionally decide to drink yourself to death, or you’re going to fight to live. Do one or other, but you have to quit doing both half-assed.” This is the wake-up call I gave aContinue reading “Orchestratic Event”
Living After Loss
Death is an interesting animal. Unexpected is the relief and hopefulness that arrives sometime after, like a dear old friend knocking at the door. The tendency might be to feel guilty; how is it ok to feel like a kid waiting to get into Disneyland at a time like that? At the time of myContinue reading “Living After Loss”
Reviewer Extraordinaire
Have I told you how much I love Buy Nothing, the Facebook group where people list items for free, and it’s all within your community? Well, I am now, and I’m here to say: I. Freaking. Love. It. So you know, we got our fancy toaster, guest room dresser, James Taylor concert tickets, toddler bed,Continue reading “Reviewer Extraordinaire”
Come A Little Closer
Eh, or is it ay? Happy Family’s Day to all of the Canadian’s out there! It only took playing a bit of virtual poker this afternoon with someone from Toronto, otherwise known as a Torontonian, to clue me in on my border neighbor’s lovely holiday. So I watched “Coda” like I said I would. AndContinue reading “Come A Little Closer”
Seed Massacre
So how about those taxes? Am I right or am I right, boy do they suck! I’d much rather be holding my breath to see whether the Russia Olympic Committee figure skater will land a triple toe loop than watch anxiously as the ticker of the Federal Tax amount due rises. So to make myselfContinue reading “Seed Massacre”
