December 15th, my sister lost her partner of 22 years. That’s a long time to love somebody in this day and age. For the first time in 22 years, she is on her own. One side of the bed is empty. She is learning to cook for one. I reflect on the beauty of relationships [...]

I’ve decided that this year, there will be no New Year’s resolutions for me. I’m going to wing it and just let it flow. At least this way I don’t have to set myself up for failure if things don’t go well or if I miss my mark. Having said that, there are some things [...]

This is my birthday gift from my family. Alright, we have an iguana, gerbils, hamsters, rabbits, a sugar glider and dogs. Now what do I need with a cat? Admittedly, I’ve been smitten by him. The first night he gravitated towards my bed and curled up on the pillow next to me. His soft purring [...]

I am so grateful that the 80s are over. Back then, there were fashion faux pas that we from which we may never recover. I’m certain that the big hair and the major purchases of hairspray are responsible for the hole in the ozone. And then there was the clothing (as if the hair wasn’t [...]

I was told today by one of my former friends that her husband lost his job in May 2008 because of President Obama. She also said that he hasn’t been able to find work in over a year is because of POTUS. (Now you understand why she’s a former friend.) The reason her husband hasn’t [...]

I woke up expecting… I don’t know, perhaps profound thoughts, more wisdom and inner peace. I don’t kn0w why but I thought today would be a tad different. I feel the gratitude and I don’t want to gloat, but doctors told me years ago that seeing 47 was a pipedream. Forty-seven. Almost half century old. [...]

I am concerned about my big sister. It’s been 10 days since my brother in law passed away and she’s plowing ahead full steam. I know we all grieve differently, but she’s not grieving.
