http://www.idealistrevolution.org/7-reasons-the-blunt-friend-is-the-best-friend-youll-ever-have/ Having read this, I feel pretty damn good about the kind of friend I am to others. I had a "masquerading friend" break up with me via e-mail several months ago. Not only do I find it as low as breaking up with a girlfriend/boyfriend via text or social media, but it shows me … Continue reading Seven Reasons The Blunt Friend Is The Best Friend You’ll Ever Have

In honor of this, a huge shout out to my besties: Marion, Shani, & Stefanie. Much love to all my valued friends. XO.
Booked
I have to admit, I'm slightly impressed with myself at the moment. I'm double-booked with two sizeable manuscripts. There are bonuses to these two jobs, one of which is repeat business. Nothing quite says "You're really good at what you do.", than someone wanting to hire you on a repeat basis so that they never … Continue reading Booked
Where The Hell Does The Year Go?
Where The Hell Does The Year Go? Every year I’m semi-amazed I’ve survived and gotten this far: Both in life and in the day-to-day struggle. I have a lot to be grateful for.

I have friends I speak with regularly that I do not tire of, … Continue reading There Are Days

The Need For Silence
Tomorrow is Samhain, which is Halloween for the uninitiated who can't even pronounce what I just said. I've taken some time this week to be quiet, to look deeply within, and to give myself some space. Every year brings a new set of challenges, and I am hoping to embark on happier ones this time … Continue reading The Need For Silence
Scorpions Mean Business
People often ask me why my name on WordPress is “ScorpionGlow”. Well, I’ll tell you. For one, I am a Scorpio. In fact, today is my birthday. Two, scorpions glow. Of the 1750 known species, almost all of them will show up under a black UV light, thus, giving off the impression that they glow … Continue reading Scorpions Mean Business
