reading time: 4 minutes This has been an illuminating weekend, even if I spent most of it tethered to textbooks and my laptop. It started with a post from Dominee of Blessing Manifesting, whom I adore. The girl, while well over a decade younger than me, is one of the wisest and kindest souls […]
reading time: 2 minutes I am not a fluffy bunny girl. That is just who I am. I am not a pessimist, but I am a realist. I have had more than my fair share of hurts and betrayals and disappointments and they have helped to shape me into who I am today. […]
reading time: 2 minutes This whole positive thing I was going for? I am pretty much done with it. It is such an uphill battle that I feel like, instead of getting anywhere uphill, I am getting pushed farther and farther downhill. This whole so-called "journey" I have been has made me all too […]
reading time: 5 minutes I have come to realize that the key to most of the things I need and want is balance. It is something I need, something I want, and something I don't have. I guess you can say I am feeling pretty unbalanced at the moment, all though not in a […]
reading time: 3 minutes Craziness. That is the word of the times. Moving across the country with three kids, two cats, one dog, and two cars. Leaving one college-age kid behind.

reading time: 4 minutes On Wednesday, I wrote a little bit about negativitiy and how I seem to be more and more aware of it, now that I am actively seeking to get away from it. But I have been noticing something else about it. It is annoying me more and more when someone […]
reading time: 7 minutes I am last priority. At least, that is the way it has been for a very long time. Last priority for the people around me and eventually last priority for myself. The first thing to go in the chaos of life is me, which I am trying to change. There […]
reading time: 3 minutes I took a step back since posting yesterday, trying to figure out where to start unraveling. Things are so interconnected that it can be overwhelming to find a place to start. I am a list maker. I love a "to do" list when I have a task at hand. I […]
reading time: 3 minutes “You gotta know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em, know when to walk away, know when to run.” -From The Gambler by Kenny Rogers Yesterday, I wrote about boundaries, particularly those in friendships. As I said yesterday, this has been something that has been an issue for […]
