BACKSTORY

A person and their vehicle are broken down by the side of the road. Some of you might feel the inner desire to pull over, interrupt your own day, and try to help that person. I won’t. Ever. Before you start judging me for being a horrible citizen, unwilling to …

TIME

Everything takes time. At least, that’s what they tell me. It takes time to heal. Time to succeed. Time to adapt and even adjust. Hmmm. To me, all these b.s. thoughts that they cram in my brain seem a little too simple, don’t you think? They say a body needs …

EYEBALLS

 It’s said that eyes are a reflection to a person’s soul. That’s probably why I don’t often like looking directly at people. It’s an invasion of their privacy. When I stare too long at a person, usually out of intrigue, they think I’m the creepy one. What they don’t realize, …

FRIENDSHIP = JACKED UP LOVE

October was a bit on the wild side. Every weekend this month, I’ve had different house guests. Which basically means that the guest bathroom was super-duper cleaned each week and the wash machine had washed a lot of towels and bedsheets. (Wiping my brow) Hosting is exhausting. To say I …

FALL = CHANGE

Like many of you, Fall is my favorite time of year. Nature naturally makes Fall feel like I’m dancing a waltz to Tchaikovsky and singing Lenny Kravitz, all while strumming John Denver folk songs. Yes, it’s that good. The Fall season indicates a sense of change. We see the leaves …

I don’t know when she’ll feel more alive, more herself. She …

BULL $*#!

I’m calling bull $*#!. Yes, Universe, I’m talking to you. Stop giving me these BS lines of Laws and Attraction. Stop telling me that all I have to do is think about what I want, and BOOM, it’s staring me in the face. I spend a lot of time listening …

THE ESSENCE OF A COMPLAINT

I want something to complain about. In winter, I often find myself complaining about the stupid snow, the shoveling, and the snot freezing to my face. But it’s summer. Maybe I could complain about mowing the lawn. Except, I recently purchased a used lawn mower that actually holds the clippings …

THE BUILDING BLOCKS

I was filling my gas tank, when an unexpected memory came bursting into my mind that made me laugh out loud. The woman next to me looked at me funny, then tried to pretend that we weren’t facing each other and standing four feet apart with only a gas pump …

YOUR BIGGEST FAN

A good friend of mine coaches 16U fast-pitch softball. She asked me to write a letter to my sixteen-year-old self in hopes to give some inspiration to the players as they move forward into a new realm of life. A rite of passage, if you will. To be fair and …
