For as long as I can remember, I had this knowing of the place and the time and the cause of my death. This wasn’t a thought or a hunch or a feeling; it was an absolute knowing. Hard as a rock, set in stone, so much so as my dislike for bullies or my […]
I’m not sure if I have told you before how much I love and admire P!nk/Pink aka Alecia Moore, but it borders on over the top. She is strong, physically and emotionally, fierce in her love, righteous in her mission to BRING IT, whatever IT happens to be. Whether she’s performing, being in the public […]
When I was living in Mississippi (M-I-crooked letter, crooked letter-I-crooked letter, crooked letter-I-humpback, humpback, I) I took a creative writing class and we were asked to write a poem about the most precious thing (or person) in our lives. When I wrote this I was married, my husband was serving in the Air Force (away […]
“Every new beginning comes from some other beginning’s end”– Closing Time by Semisonic It’s not a New Year, but it is a time for new beginnings, resolutions (if you’re into that sort of thing) and a blank page in a yet unwritten book (every single day is a time for new beginnings, of course).

It’s a long one…. Happy Mother’s Day to everyone who in any way has been a Mother. Special love going out to the Mothers who have lost children or are trying desperately to become a Mother. I’m sending you tons of love and support, compassion and prayer, as I know this day isn’t always a […]
Holy Moly it’s loud in here! I’d like to rupture my eardrum (insert pencil in ear) Not to be rude or mean, but the endless amount of self-promotion is obscene. Do you crave the spotlight? Must you be always right? Perhaps you thought this was group therapy for AAMNA – All About Me (Clearly) Not […]
My hair is like my personality; it’s wild, stubborn, has its own way of expressing emotion and attitude. It’s curly and goes every which way, no matter what I do, no matter what I say. It fights against the orderly and sane, springing forth from my head like a snakes on a M-F**’ing plane, gone […]
When my dad and I used to go for coffee and long conversation, he impressed upon me the importance of being a good listener. He told me to always make eye contact, let them know you are listening by nodding your head, asking questions when the narrative was unclear or a term unfamiliar. He said one […]
I asked myself – what can you do in the face of this enormous and monumental time in history? How can you be an instrument of peace, of unity and hope? The answer came back simply and with little to no fanfare – Honor thy Father and Mother Again, this can mean many things to […]
It is nearing the close of 2020 (see ya!) and the New Year is approaching and with it, the whole New Year’s Resolution or as I have adapted New Year’s Intention. This year is a four-part intention to help me work on the four areas of myself and my way of living that I feel […]
