As I mourn the death of my favorite singer, I am reminded of the full circle of life. The importance of dealing with death and our children earnestly. Last month, O and I lost a special lady in our life. She was a part of my life story for nearly 20 years. Her warmth and honesty […]
I wasn’t sure I’d ever write about my rheumatoid arthritis diagnosis because I didn’t want anyone to think I felt sorry for myself. But I do feel sorry for myself but not because I have this disease. No, it’s because it’s changed my parenting and not in a good way. Over half a year ago, […]
I met this lovely young man 6 weeks ago. We struck up a conversation. The conversation turned into daily text messages. And finally to us meeting so he could come take a look, under the hood of my car. (He’s a mechanic, bonus.) Last night, I told my mother about him and the fact he […]

No, thank you, Sir! While you focus on your filet mignon, I don’t need to be your potato waiting to be buttered. I am worth far more than to be seen as the lumpy, starchy side dish that you pay attention to only after the main dish has been consumed.
This morning, I was watching the news and they reported on an organization right around the corner that had few toy donations. They said that they may actually have to turn away children in need.
