It's no secret I have been ass-deep in alligators on the novel I started writing earlier this year. Nearly seven hundred pages have been written for the final draft, and there is still much work to be done. It's limited my time because it's an all-consuming type of story. However, I'm a firm believer in … Continue reading Every Story Is Based On A Truth

Peaks, Valleys, and Being Named
It's disconcerting to be sitting here several years into this platform, and feel less sure of its direction than I did when I started out. 'Poison In Lethal Doses' was my decision to walk away from something that no longer suited me personally or served a greater purpose, and allowed me to return to my … Continue reading Peaks, Valleys, and Being Named
It’s Been A While…
Hello everyone! It's been a little over a month since I last wrote something for this platform. I don't feel the need to apologize, though. Trust me, sometimes it's better for me to be quiet than it is for me to say what I really believe, at the time, is the right thing to say. … Continue reading It’s Been A While…
Empty As A Shell
I have both nothing to say, and a lot to say, so I've chosen to remain silent for the past few weeks. You can never get into trouble by keeping your mouth shut. I sit here tonight, coughing my brains out, questioning how I somehow got sick in twenty-four hours when I've obsessively taken precautions … Continue reading Empty As A Shell
Things I’m Thinking About
Every once in a while, I believe we all slip into a "funk" or a mood we simply can't shake. It then translates into lack of interest in things we'd normally be incredibly involved in. I know where my mood stems from, and why, but nevertheless, it is causing more harm than good. What else … Continue reading Things I’m Thinking About
Follow Your Gut, Because It Doesn’t Lie…
A few weeks ago someone friended me on Facebook. Under normal circumstances I only accept requests from people I know in real life or people I have met via a migraine or Fibromyalgia/ Chronic Pain group. I’ve met some great people who have become good friends almost immediately. Sometimes you click with someone and you’re … Continue reading Follow Your Gut, Because It Doesn’t Lie…
Because He’s My Brother
The past two years have been incredibly hard on my brother. I have no words for what he has been through, or for the things he continues to battle easy day. For the past ten years or so, all we’ve had that we can truly count on, as siblings, is each other. I remember the … Continue reading Because He’s My Brother
Questioning Everything
Hello everyone. 🙂 I've been both present and not-so present around here for quite some time, mostly from an emotional standpoint. I'm not going to apologize for that. No one should ever apologize for taking care of themselves, or the crap in their lives. If someone tells you their life is perfect, I've got a … Continue reading Questioning Everything
Official?
I finally have documentation on my medical chart that I have Fibromyalgia. What I find odd is that the doctor didn't check for trigger points or question the discussion, she simply added it to my "history". If the original doctor who diagnosed me in 2003/2004 had remembered to put it in my chart back then, … Continue reading Official?
Life, On Hold
I guess late Friday night has become my new "time to write". I have no idea when that became a thing, but let's roll with it, shall we? My big accomplishment this week was talking to my insurance company and getting an emergency reinstatement, all thanks to someone who knew what she was doing and … Continue reading Life, On Hold
