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…
Down Feather Comforters…
Ahh, I don't know about you guys, but I completely adore my heavy, mushy down feather comforter. It is one of the few things I enjoy about winter. 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…
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…
Predicting the Future…
Recently someone (my boss during our training), brought to my attention that we are always trying to predict the future. Isn't it funny that internal dialog that never hushes? That part of us that so easily distorts another's words or actions. It turns an innocent statement into an attack. It makes a compliment sound like … Continue reading Predicting the Future…
Rawr…Always Be A Dragon
Happy New Year! It's been quite awhile since I've blogged, but I am back now. In my journey of getting back to being myself, I have had more lows than highs but there were sparks that made me remember what I love about myself. I have experience more energy at times than I can recall … Continue reading Rawr…Always Be A Dragon
Broken Like Me…A Letter to all the Shaes
A narcissist will say they love you. They are not capable of real love. You are the band-aid for the wounds they cannot face to heal themselves. They love how both the places you are broken along with your strengths feed their ego, cover their insecurities and empower them. The narc envies your aura and … Continue reading Broken Like Me…A Letter to all the Shaes
Mickey Mouse Bullshit…
Yep, I said bullshit. I call bullshit on all that say the words "I love you", but do not back it up with actions! There is nothing faulty about being broken. But if a person isn't actively working on their brokenness and are just wallowing in self pity, then stop the bullshit! If this is … Continue reading Mickey Mouse Bullshit…
The Dance…
This is taken from my notebook. Written 3/3/17. Our demons seek to align us with others in order to ensure our imprisonment. Have you ever looked into someone? Have you seen demons lurking that they cannot tame? Unaware, you allow your demons to converse with their demons. The evil hisses, celebrates and laughs as hosts … Continue reading The Dance…
