  • 2018-09-18 Letting Go

    It’s tough when you are in the middle of grief. There’s a method to the madness that includes anger and denial and acceptance and bargaining and depression. It can be a visious cycle, downward spiral, and at times the “acceptance” stage can seem like an impossible uphill climb. Even for the most logical mind, the…

  • 2018-09-17 A Day Late and More than a Dollar Short

    I took the liberty on Sunday to lay around the house all freaking day and not do a damn thing. It was glorious. Jim and I binge-watched our show, Colony, and ran out of episodes. I needed the weekend to decompress from my vacation and all the thoughts raging in my head about .. everything.…

  • 2018-09-15 What a Girl Wants

    Last night being picked up at the airport and taken home by my love was the best homecoming ever. He recognized I just needed sleep and to be in my own bed. He took me to the airport early, early on Monday and picked me up late on Friday and would not have it any…

  • 2018-09-14 Heading for Home

    I don’t know how many times I have typed that. “Home Again, Home Again”. “There and Back Again”. “Homeward Bound”, but it always feels right. It always feels lighter when I get to the point that I’m typing those words. Why is that? Why is it that after a month at home, where I am…

There’s definitely been more than overcast skies casting a dark shadow on this week. I’m supposed to be relaxing and enjoying quality time with my friends and yet I’m unable…

  • 2018-09-12 The Day that Time Forgot

    I thought Monday was a long day until Tuesday happened. Tuesday felt kinda like that day you finally feel like you are really on vacation and trying too hard to do all the right vacation-y things. It was a stormy day here in Cancun and so there was no beach going or frolicking in the…

  • 2018-09-10 A New Personal Record

    Late in 2016, when I was a wreck and my life was a bloody mess and I cried at the top of my stairs and I cried at the bottom of my stairs and I cried in my car on the way to just about everywhere, I wrote a lot. Sometimes, the writing was the…

  • 2018-09-10 Firsts You Never Want to Have

    I’ve traveled a lot. I’ve booked a lot of flights and always make good time getting through airports and connecting flights. Truth be told, I’m typically overly conservative and leave at least an hour layover just in case things are delayed or there is a big gap in between connecting gates. I’d rather be early…
