At A Crossroads

  This picture frame with the Serenity Prayer hangs in the kitchen at our house.  It's always been here.  It was my grandmother's home, but she passed away in 2015, and now my mom owns it.  I have no idea where Grandma got the frame from.  Ha, as far as I was concerned, it was … Continue reading At A Crossroads →

Let Life Flow

The other day was a little rough.  I'm okay now.  Cried.  Wrote.  Talked a little to the family.  Went to the park.  Hanging with my aunt now.  I go into situations with such high expectations and hopes and when they don't go the way I planned, I have a breakdown.  I'm a child in a … Continue reading Let Life Flow →

He Has A Girlfriend

When we resist change, it’s called suffering.  But when we completely let go and not struggle against it, when we can embrace the groundlessness of our situation and relax into its dynamic quality, that’s called enlightenment, or awakening to our true nature, to our fundamental goodness.  Another word for this is freedom…” – Pema Chodron … Continue reading He Has A Girlfriend →

One & Free

You're in your cage and I'm in mine, neither of us are free, "You come to my cage!" , "No, you come to mine!" No one will step out, you see. We want to be One and we want to be free, we force each other to leave --- the comfort we know, the place … Continue reading One & Free →

How To Have Faith In Yourself

How do you learn to have faith?  Listen to your intuiton (a.k.a your gut-feeling, your soul, that voice of wisdom, Divine guidance, God), and follow it.  It can be scary but follow it and trust that you will be okay.  Take it day by day and know that when the time is right for anything … Continue reading How To Have Faith In Yourself →

The Cranberries – Daffodil Lament

Bless you Dolores and your family ❤ This is my favorite song from one of my favorite albums.  Perfect album when you're going through a breakup.  I always admired her writing and voice.  My mom used to play the tape in the car non-stop when I was younger. https://youtu.be/nsb7UFoHAt4

I Called My Ex

Fourteen days into 2018 and I have already been slapped with a life lesson.  One that I've learned, but apparently haven't applied all the way yet:  "You don't have to be perfect to be loved." I called my ex. Yes, I did.  I said I was going to and I did.  2018 is the year … Continue reading I Called My Ex →

I Never Wanted To Get Married

I never wanted to get married.  Even as a little girl.  I never dreamed of my dream wedding or my wedding dress or the tropical get-away honeymoon.  I never dreamed of any of it.  But I felt like I was supposed to.  I always felt like less of a woman because of it (which writing … Continue reading I Never Wanted To Get Married →
