I woke up this morning in sheer agony. Have you ever experienced pain where you are almost certain there are knives in your back? Picture it for a second. Yeah, it's not pretty and the concept that one can feel such pain without actually having gaping wounds is astounding to me. No one should have … Continue reading If You Have A Sledgehammer

Sometimes when you remember the worst days that have occurred throughout your life, the simple notion of recollection can make you deathly ill. Everyone is different in this respect. Some people have no reaction at all, and others mourn for years, feeling as though their lives are immersed in various forms of tragedy. The fact … Continue reading Total Recall

There are so many things in life that can be chalked up into two different categories: Good memories and bad memories. There are also "middle of the road" memories, but I'll leave that for another day. I woke up way too early this morning. It was still dark outside. I couldn't quite put my finger … Continue reading Memories

I am in excruciating pain. From the top of my spine to the top of my thighs, I cannot stand the torturous pain that only seems to get worse with every passing minute.

First friend; best friend. The reason I am who I am. The person who encouraged me never to follow, but always to lead. Guide-post. Lighthouse. Anchor. Part angel, part saint. The best listener.

I am an immense fan of what I call the "clean manuscript". That means the manuscript doesn't require me to do any of the following: Lose hair. Attempt to remove my eyeballs with a fork or melon baller. Grind my teeth. Slouch over my laptop in sheer disgust. And those are just a few of … Continue reading Nightmares In Editing

I was incredibly blessed with a mother who was my best friend. I think I required less parenting because I was "born ancient". Every year without her is incredibly painful to me. No one could ever fill the role she played in my life, fostering my talents with honesty and care. It is because of … Continue reading Happy Mother’s Day

I went to bed exhausted, I woke up more exhausted than when I originally went to bed. Lately, there never seems to be enough sleep. I found myself wanting to nod off for four hours yesterday, but when I finally committed myself to "a nap", I ended up reading for over three hours. I hadn't … Continue reading Exhausted To The Bone

When you feel good for even a split second, you try capitalizing on it by squeezing in things from your "to do" list. Mine is more like a "must do" list. I am currently packing things up from my home for donation. There are plenty of people who need home goods and other things I … Continue reading Overdoing It
