Mother’s Day

Today is different for everyone. I’m thinking about those of you feeling conflicted today. I’m thinking about those of you feeling mournful today. I’m thinking about those of you still holding onto hope today. I see you. I’m rooting for you. I’ve been you. 💘

Contradictory Cups

Some days I feel like I'm on cloud nine. All of the scenarios I planned in my head go through just as they should. I'm flying through the air, too high to care about the fall. Smiling and laughing and playing and hoping and forgetting and dreaming. And then I get back home and I…

Remembering what I’m thankful for

I’ve been sitting here for the last few hours trying to think of something to write about. I had a few lines of poetry flowing in and out of my head, but I don’t like to publish forced work. So instead, I’m just going to reflect on some things in my life that I’m thankful…

It’s OK to evolve

I spend too much time on Facebook. But I also use social media apps to come up with new content to write about. I use a lot of quotes and read a lot of stories online that help me ground my beliefs into something that I can share in a progressive way. This morning I…

The Artistry of a Woman

She is strong and fierce She knows the power of her mind and the gentleness of her touch She recognizes her insecurities and wrestles with her vulnerability She stands up for the respect that she deserves And does not lower her voice to coddle a man’s pride She understands the aspects of society that try…

Nasty people…

Humans are odd. Sometimes I have a hard time believing that other people are made of the same breed as I am. Some people are so mean, disgusting, awful… My sister started a new job probably about a month and a half ago. She works in a paint room painting gates and fence that welders…

When we were kids, my uncle would take all of us out to the garage to watch a big storm roll by. We just so happened to live south of what seemed to always be the path of the storms. So we would get our lawn chairs and flip cell phones out and have a…

The Independence Curve

My daughter is getting so intelligent that it’s beginning to pain me. She is no longer the small infant that we goo’ed over not so long ago. I remember when we first brought her home, I would put her swing right next to the couch and just watch her sleep all day long. I held…

EOD Thoughts: 03.06.2021

The temps have seemingly brought warmth that is here to stay. We spent a majority of the day “spring cleaning” the garage. It had an entire winter of piled up trash and dirt. We had cardboard from Christmas out there that was long overdue to be thrown away. Our daughter played while we cleaned, so…

4 years on WP

Today marks FOUR years that I’ve been on WordPress. I’ve explored all sorts of writing; from fiction, to poetry, to biography. I’ve made some “blogging friends” and shared my words with those around me. I haven’t been as active on here lately and I apologize. Buuut I have some exciting news to share in the…
