Last month, a client booked me for the first two weeks of September. Upon receiving her manuscript two and a half weeks early (She genuinely seemed to think that was okay.), I put my foot down and said I would not start until September 5th since she had not booked an earlier spot. She, surprisingly, … Continue reading What The Hell Was I Thinking?!

If you've never had a loved one go missing; you're damn lucky. If you've never lost anyone close to you, especially a family member, you are luckier still. I have spent most of my life watching family members leave this plane of existence for another. I've written too many eulogies and speeches not to feel … Continue reading One Day Too Many

A year ago, I probably would not have believed that my life would be what it is in this moment. It was unfathomable, and it is incredibly difficult for me transitioning into this "new life". Recently someone made the grave mistake of telling me that I "choose not to be happy". Forgive me, but that's … Continue reading Some People

Hello everyone. 😀 I'd like to welcome all the new readers. For those who have been on this journey with me from day one; thank you for sticking with me.

I hope everyone had a prosperous, happy week and weekend. Me? Not so much. I've been plagued by migraines at a near non-stop pace. The warmth of last weekend (which wasn't all that warm, really.) gave way to incredibly awful Fibromyalgia pain during the past week into this weekend. The cold has forced its way … Continue reading Rules Of The Week

We've all, at one point or another during the course of our lives, been in "one of those moods". No one on this planet is ecstatic in their happiness at all times. If they were, there would be no such thing as mental illness or anti-depressants. There would be no practical need for such medication, … Continue reading One Of Those Moods

Yesterday morning my brother was admitted into the hospital with what is, as of now, a form of heart failure. The doctors are baffled; stating that they don't know how this happened because he is far too young. Unfortunately, he is far from being out of the woods. He is scheduled for a serious procedure … Continue reading Family First
