Do you ever really take a moment to think about someone you just met and wonder how long they will be a part of your life for? There are friendships that you don’t even see coming but when they leave, you know you are a better person for having been a part of it. You […]
50 Minute Time Out
Age 36 was when I had my first massage. All of the stress that I had been feeling for a long time got to such a point that my husband insisted I go. Handing over our infant, I went somewhat hesitantly to let some stranger see me naked after somewhat recent childbirth. I must have […]
Face It
In my quest to somewhat manage my life stress, I pay a monthly fee to get a massage every month. And because life is the usual chaos, I have neglected to even get that done for a good few months. So I accumulate the services until they are used. This vacation, my husband has been […]
Transformation
So I am going to come right out and start with this.. I still think blue eye shadow is kind of cool. And that’s pretty much all you need to know about how up to date I was on make-up styles. I never was one to wear so much. It just never felt like me. […]
Whispers of Innocence
Watching from the outside, one would never know anything was wrong. Day in and day out, she would smile and run out the door to play with her friends. They would do all the things girls did back in those days; sing songs, dance, and talk about boys. Side by side, they would stick out […]

A Million Pieces
It’s been a month and I still haven’t found all the words. They come in bits and pieces and then leave me in tears. The kind that you just can’t stop. We got Kippi Cat when she was just a baby. I was never even a cat person. It was my boyfriend now husband that […]
That “Boy”
Like most love stories from way back when, it began in a classroom. At first, with just a glance or two but then it was the exchange of smiles and a fast look away. Their friends began to notice and started to tease the way friends do. One Friday night, they were both leaving the […]
Cartwheels and Cocktails
Moments go through my mind like a movie on the slowest play possible. Everything from the past year plays before me. I analyze and spend so much time reflecting. Most of all, I question so much of it. This is the night before I turn 43. Bring on the cocktails because I am about to […]
Fur Baby Love
Growing up, the best pet I had was a fish. The second best, a newt. I was not allowed to have any fur animals. We lived in an apartment and it would have been a bit much to have a dog in it or at least that’s the excuse reason my mom gave us. My […]
