I've always wondered what the hell is wrong with the majority of the people in this world. For some unknown reason, they believe caffeine, sunshine, fresh air, a glass of water, or a cup of tea will magically solve ALL of your problems. If only it were so simple! Have you ever felt better when … Continue reading Breathe Through It

2022-11-272022-12-05 Miss Poison Pieces Of Me, Poison In Lethal Doses, Writing Grief, Honesty, Life, Loss, Pain, Pieces Of Me, Poison In Lethal Doses, Truth, Writing

Sometimes, we go through something we cannot talk about. Something deeply private and painful. I want to share what I have been through, but it's not entirely my story to tell. To some degree, it is entirely mine, but I'm not selfish. Someone else has a vested interest in this pain, and so, I am … Continue reading Experiencing What You Can’t Talk About

You read the news. You see the headlines. They are everywhere. The voices, however, are so silent, I can hear a pin drop from thirty states away. Sit in your silence. I view it as violence and selective hate. Antisemitism. It's beyond systemic. It is dangerously out of control. I'm sick of it, and I … Continue reading The Selective Silence

The past ten days has been incredibly LIFE CHANGING. I'm SO grateful to have my spark back. 🙏🏻 Whoever the fuck I was, I don't even remember her anymore. I have NO clue who I left behind, but I'm relieved. Turns out, I missed ME; the person I truly am. NOT someone else's presumptuous bullshit … Continue reading Spark

There's so much I want to say, and so much I want to protect. I'll try to say what I need to, without disrupting the delicate balance between the two. Have you ever felt divinely guided in one direction, and maybe been afraid to jump? Or let me rephrase and say, were you overly cautious … Continue reading One State of Mind, and Uncontrollable Pain

Despite having a handful of incredibly talented friends who are also writers, I don't share my process or progress with any of them. It simply doesn't come up in conversation, and I won't bring it up, except to maybe say I'm working on something new in passing. Several are maybe privately producing and not talking … Continue reading Sharing

I am functioning on less and less sleep these days, which screws with my day-to-day life, but seems to do wonders for my productivity. Yeah, I don't understand it either. My current WIP (work-in-progress) is at eight-four thousand words. I achieved those numbers in slightly over a full month. I put in a lot of … Continue reading Juggling On A New Level

I've been quiet for what seems like forever, and anyone who knows me knows I use my platform to communicate and inform; even if my subject matter isn't popular. It's likely obvious to my regular readers that I am going through some heavy shit. I am. Unfortunately, I am also numb to a lot of … Continue reading The Traumatic Journey: Part I

The precise word I've used to describe the hell I've been going through is, "Sinking." I say this to my doctor at least twice a month; "I'm sinking." He gets a confused/torn look on his face and tries to distract me with questions. I'm thisclose to losing my patience. 🙄 I worry that one day, … Continue reading Sinking
