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 Spark
In third grade, my teacher assigned us the task of writing a creative story. Being a reader and one with a very vivid imagination, I wrote my first short story which I titled, ” The Vanishing Children”. Mrs. Starr explained to me that she enjoyed my story so much that she read it to two […]
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 […]

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 […]
The Recovery Room
We were escorted down so many hallways a lot of turns and swipes of keys to get through various authorized areas. The walk to my baby took a long time. My husband and I were nervous, excited, and relieved. Now if I could only just hold her to really know that everything had gone well. […]
The Waiting Room
Two weeks turned into forever. The night before went way too fast. Then we were on our way to the hospital. My 4 year old is my world. She is funny, kind, smart, and sweet with just the right touch of a mischievous quality to her. We knew there was a possibility this day would […]
