the loss of light

It sounds so cliché, but sometimes it’s true. On Tuesday, the world lost a light. Amber lost her multiyear battle with esophageal cancer. And a battle it was. It was a back-and-forth between treatment and remission, treatment and remission, treatment, treatment, treatment. She and her family went through so much […]

wednesday words

words Ick… I just ran across a highly transphobic response to a question of a meme that I used to do on Wednesday. I thought I’d hop in and do it again, but no. I’ve discovered, like much of the interactive blogging world, it’s one largely populated by people who […]

the sands of time

Sometimes it hits me just how much some of the people in my life have changed over time, something that has become glaringly apparent in recent years. But then I wonder… Have they changed? Or have they always been this way? Did I just not see it? Did they just […]

i’m not good at letting go

I’ve never been good at it. Letting go of people, of friendships or relationships. That kind of thing. Because of it, my boundaries aren’t always what they should be. I grew up in a glass house, in a small town. I came from a long line of lawyers, of politicians, […]

a lonely realization

I just looked at some of the other blogs that participated in the Tuesday blog meme I did in my previous post. And one thing was very quickly clear. I don’t fit in. At all. And that’s a little lonely. The blogging community I once knew is gone. It’s very […]

evolving, part I

The last few years have changed me. Maybe, at least in part, that’s the price of aging. The “with age comes wisdom” thing. Perhaps that is part of it. But I think a bigger part of it has come from both within and without, the price of the Trump years. […]
