Strength
This is unfinished draft; I would start to write randomly and this would end up in my drafts folder. I am publishing this to include as if this was my physical journal. This popped into my head, thinking about MA and BQ. Men are thought they have to be strong and they have to be…

Midday thoughts- warm fuzzies
Warm Fuzzies. You know what I’m talking about- that feeling you get when you see your food come in a restaurant; the sweet note someone gives you and among other things, the butterflies you get in your stomach when we see someone you love. (Okay that sometimes feels like a zoo, but you get the…

Midday thoughts- on mental health
This topic has been swirling around my head for a while since I started blogging again. Mental health is so important to talk about openly and not have a stigma around it. It’s okay some days you do not feel like yourself and other days you do. I know from personal experience that you can’t…

Midday thoughts: never leave things unsaid
Always in our hearts, forever in our memories. Never forget 9/11. ❤ Always kiss you loved ones goodbye. Never leave things unsaid. Never go to bed angry. You may not know it in the moment, but that might be the last time you see them. Reflecting on today, September 11th, I cannot imagine saying goodbye…

Midday thoughts: On endings and beginnings
Today is another odd day. I reflect today on the sheer fact that endings sucks. It doesn’t matter what type of ending it is, they are never easy- saying goodbye to a love one in hospice; ending a lifestyle you lived for many decades; goodbye to the normal you once knew. It doesn’t make it…

Midday thoughts- on being alone
As I’ve been sitting at my desk, making my way through my to-do list today. Sadness overcame me. I started thinking about the last year and how lately I’ve felt very alone. Now, I know what you are going to say, you have friends and family that love you; and yes, I totally do but…

Slow Down Sunday
Hi! This weekend was a weekend. In the best possible way. Was it slow? nope. Was it a little hectic? yes. Did the universe kinda mess with my head? why yes it did. Did I drink all the rose’ and sangrias? why yes of course, they were delicious (and probably my kryptonite). Its Sunday night…

thoughts on change and Seasons
I wrote this originally back in September. This is unfinished and thought it was important to include on my blog. Its funny that change has been happening to me a lot lately. I feel like I have embraced change much better than I have imagined I would lately. In this season of change, I feel…
