Have you ever bought something which required assembly? I don't know about you, but my usual is to rip open the box, set the instructions to the side, somewhat organize the parts, and begin. More times than not, I get to the end of the project and have an "oh crap" moment because there are … Continue reading Do It Again…

White Picket Fence…
A very long time ago a label was place onto me by someone I loved with my whole heart. I totally owned it! White picket fence had a double meaning for the person toward me: 1- I was the wholesome, desirable "girl next door"; 2- He was terrified of failing me and felt that I … Continue reading White Picket Fence…
Learning to Live in the Grey…
Imagine walking up to a flame and placing your hand directly into it and then getting mad at the flame for burning you. Makes no sense whatsoever, huh? I have done this exact thing for longer than I care to state. I allowed the actions, or rather the lack of action, of someone to make … Continue reading Learning to Live in the Grey…
I Must…
My week has not gone according to plan. I am in sales and this is the last week of the month so normally it’s full speed. But life happens and this week covid19 has disrupted my end of month. I had to be off from work Monday waiting on a family member to get their … Continue reading I Must…
Letting Go…

I recently removed it from my bed and placed it into storage until next winter. After doing so, I noticed just how much I have stored and … Continue reading Down Feather Comforters…
Illusion…
“It feels like you are lost somewhere in a land I've never been. A land where there are no maps and Siri doesn't work there. I don't know how to find you. I have tried to make it to where you are but you always disappear just when I think you're getting close to being … Continue reading Illusion…
Kiss Me…
If you have never heard the song by Ed Sheeran, Kiss Me, then definitely listen to it. I loved the song from the very first time I heard it. There is just such a sweet vulnerability to the song. One day it was no longer just a song that I loved but that became a … Continue reading Kiss Me…
Going Deeper…
As of late quite a lot of thoughts seem to beg to go from pen to paper. I do not allow it though. I tend to do that when I am chewing on something, sorting the madness out. Usually it turns out well by practicing this method of shutting down and shutting out that I … Continue reading Going Deeper…
Tearing me down…
I have been through bootcamp in the Navy. I know what it looks like to be torn down and rebuilt. In the beginning, I wanted to rebel but couldn't because it would have meant severe punishment. Somewhere in the middle, I thought I was going to go mad from sleep deprivation. Then I got with … Continue reading Tearing me down…
