I’ve been wanting to write a MONOLOGUE about my personal experience with INFERTILITY for a while now. I’ve never written one and so today I decided to just sit down and attempt it. Just curious to see what flowed out that would give me something to work with. This is what my heart handed me… […]
Dear Parents, Forgive me for expecting more out of you or my childhood than I believed I received Forgive my brain for its wiring to default to what’s missing instead of focusing on what’s right Forgive me for not considering your own soul and it’s own journey and path through this thing called life I […]
I remember her all those years ago Excited and unafraid Eager and enthusiastic High on life Just because I remember her innocence and the butterflies that kicked up a chorus line in her stomach while she did the same on a stage Not the flutters of fear but the flitters of fortune The abundance of […]
I haven’t really paused to feel the feels. Been too “busy” this week, and suddenly they crash into me without warning. My granddad passed away on Monday and I’m sad. It doesn’t matter that he was just shy of 94 years old or the relief for him as he is free now from his body […]

I went out for a walk tonight to get some exercise and take in the sunset. On my way back I was hit by a tsunami of grief. Seemingly out of nowhere. Provoked only by the thought of her presence and all the walks I used to take with her. Especially that one. The one […]
Someone sent this postcard to me last year. I have it pinned to my corkboard. Something told me today to share it with you… Can you RECEIVE it? It took me a long time to be able to fully RECEIVE. To receive help, compliments or anything that validated my inherent worth and value. I found […]
