I haven't been writing much lately. Between life's busy social schedule, work, and general exhaustion I guess I'm feeling a little uninspired. Always grateful for all that I have and those that I love, just not feeling a pull to jump into the mayhem and subject matters that float around me as of late. Of … Continue reading Mother’s Day – Let Today Be the Day…

Let it linger…
I was never a hugger, or a kiss-greeter for that matter. Ever since I was a small child, I remember the angst I'd feel anticipating going to a family function and having to walk around the room and kiss everyone "hello." Then upon leaving, having to walk back around the room and kiss everyone "goodbye." … Continue reading Let it linger…
Finding Christmas Spirit…
It’s Christmas, and I don’t know what to write, because I don’t know how to feel. I’m grateful, overwhelmed, anxious, melancholy, exhausted, and hopeful. In other words, I’m a mixed-up-ever-questioning-mess who recognizes that I cannot control anything in my life, except for recognizing that Christmas gave way for the one who shall set my course … Continue reading Finding Christmas Spirit…
Adult Children and the Joy they Bring…
I could have never imagined when I had children, the immense joy that I would feel when they became adults. So many years gone by, still being able to feel the warmth of their breathe on my cheek as infants, the feel of their tiny hands in mine as I guided them through their school … Continue reading Adult Children and the Joy they Bring…
An open letter to my parents…
It was a long weekend, filled with a bit of stress and a whole lot of love. As I sit to enjoy a needed cocktail and an unwinding moment, I am reflecting on my parents and what a blessing they are to me. I believe it's worth taking a moment to write down these feelings. … Continue reading An open letter to my parents…

Whether we have fond memories, difficult memories, or no memories at all, you provided us with the greatest gift possible, life.

Be Kind to Yourself
Have you ever sat and counted your blessings? Really thought deeply about everything that you have in your life despite any challenges that may exist? It is not always an easy task; sometimes life is so hard and wrought with tragedies and obstacles, that you can't see past a particular moment in time. Heavy hearts … Continue reading Be Kind to Yourself
My Grown-up Christmas List
Aside from my deepest wish for peace, health, and happiness for us all, I do have some additional items I'd like for Christmas, or should I say, some things I'd like taken away? For one, I despise the internet, social media, and everything about the grid. All which have turned humanity into emotionally unhealthy individuals … Continue reading My Grown-up Christmas List
From now on, our troubles will be out of sight…
Well, I decorated. The tree is up, trimmings, lights, the whole deal. I decided not to put the tree on the stand this year to allow for a tree topper which we have not included on our tree in the past. Maybe the lit-up star we've placed on top will light the way to what … Continue reading From now on, our troubles will be out of sight…
Where are you Christmas?
Usually by now I'm jumping out of my skin to get the Christmas season started. I should be at least halfway through my shopping, and in the beginning stages of prepping the house for decorations galore. But this year... nothing. I have no desire to decorate, shop, or participate in Holiday festivities. This is not … Continue reading Where are you Christmas?
