I’m working on healing. It’s time I write it up and release it. I need to send it out like a message in a bottle so I can move on.
I’m struggling to heal from a very difficult period in my life.
The past few years I have gone through a painful situation with someone who meant [...]

We have bad luck with neighbors. We bought our first house in an older neighborhood, full of retirees and their perfectly manicured lawns. Our lawn was the saddest on the block.

The year 2010 is showing itself to be a rough year. A stressful year and a year full of changes and realizations, but also a year that’s keeping me in mourning. I’m mourning the loss of a friend and a friendship. I’ll save the friendship loss for another post.
A friend of mine, one of the [...]

I love Valerie Bertinelli. I’m not exactly sure why. Maybe it’s her likeable and down to earth personality. Maybe it’s because I’m fascinated with her Hollywood lifestyle and marriage to a rock star. Maybe it’s because she starred in One Day at a Time and I identified with her character. Either way, I’ve always been [...]

I have so much to be thankful for this Thanksgiving weekend and everyday. And it seems the older I get, the more thankful and appreciative I am for the things I have in my life. When I start to feel like everything and everyone is against me, I remind myself of how lucky I am.
