My Christmas List

It's that time of year.  Whatever color cup you are drinking from you're also credit card debt deep into the season of giving.  It's also that time of year where I actually wish I could go back in time and berate myself for ever thinking money was a stupid gift.  I would like to personally...

I Miss You

There is a lot in this world that I miss.  Some of it is constant in a way I've learned to carry on without it, some wavers in severity, some rarely if at all and some shakes me to my bones at the thought of it.  How it all boils down is beyond my jurisdiction... Continue Reading →

Never say Never

I was looking through my high school yearbook the other day because I'm a nostalgic masochist and I noticed something beyond the fact that somebody should have introduced me to tweezers sooner.  There's this phrase written several dozen times:  Never Change.  Huh?  Forgive me, but what a stupid thing to say.  And yet it's scribbled...

Things that Stick

It's amazing how many interactions I've had in this lifetime.  I've come across a lot of people.  Some people are significant, others have said significant things and many have proven themselves to be quite insignificant.  Some I stay in contact with regularly.  Others have turned into friends on social media.  Some I speak to less...

Tug of Time

In case you need a reminder, it's mid October.  It's that time of year when white girls all over the country eat, drink and breathe pumpkins.  And while they raid stores fulfilling their annual obsession I'm sitting here having a minor panic attack because this year has flown by faster than my relationship with that...

Scar Tissue

There are things that will happen in this lifetime that are devastating.  Some things you'll see coming, others will blindside you and you won't believe it.  When something bad happens in our lives, we take preventative measures so that it doesn't happen again.  We favor an arm, we close off a part of ourselves we...

Wait for It

The average person spends five years waiting.  If that didn't just make a single tear fall down your cheek or make your head wanna pop off, you have more patience than I will ever know in a lifetime.  Five years is a really long time.  I will have spent more time in traffic than I...

For Moms with Tiny Humans

"My son spit on me today."  This is a text message I received from my best friend followed by "I want to stab him in the face with a fork."  Meanwhile, I was reading a book on my couch wearing whitestrips and a charcoal peel-off mask.  Talk about a Freaky Friday dynamic.  I don't know...

Impact

I was thinking about all of the people I've ever met in this lifetime and it got me wondering what kind of impression I give.  How do I make people feel?  What kind of vibe do I emit?  There is so much concern about which path to choose but I'm equally curious about the path... Continue Reading →

What a Girl Wants

What do you want?  What are you looking for?   These are both valid questions that I have a very hard time responding to with direct answers...or answers that make a tiny speck of sense.  Now maybe this is because I'm a Cancer and my mind runs at Olympic speed at all hours of the...
