Black Cat Appreciation Day is every day, especially if you're the owner of a majestic #BlackCat. As my #ChocolateCoveredEspressoBean gets closer to being seven (WTF?! She was JUST a tiny kitten.), I look back on all of the good memories. She's a sweet little girl, but she's also smart, perceptive, innovative, and an excellent companion. … Continue reading Black Cat Appreciation Day 2020
Love
Friendship Plants Itself…
“Friendship plants itself as a small unobtrusive seed; over time, it grows thick roots that wrap around your heart. When a love affair ends, the tree is torn out quickly, the operation painful but clean. Friendship withers quietly, there is always hope of revival. Only after time has passed do you recognize that it is … Continue reading Friendship Plants Itself…
It’s Not So Much The Journey…
“It’s not so much the journey that’s important; as is the way that we treat those we encounter and those around us, along the way” ―Jeremy Aldana
No Matter How Close We Are…
“No matter how close we are to another person, few human relationships are as free from strife, disagreement, and frustration as is the relationship you have with a good dog. Few human beings give of themselves to another as a dog gives of itself. I also suspect that we cherish dogs because their unblemished souls … Continue reading No Matter How Close We Are…

For having wanted to be wanted. It confuses you, because you think that your feelings were … Continue reading It Hurts To Let Go…
Those Who Love Much…
“Those who love much, do much and accomplish much, and whatever is done with love is done well.... Love is the best and noblest thing in the human heart, especially when it is tested by life as gold is tested by fire. Happy is he who has loved much, and although he may have wavered … Continue reading Those Who Love Much…
It Hurts…
“It hurts to let go, to say goodbye for the final time and remain distant in your closure, it may even tear your heart out to the point of insanity; but somehow in it all you find the pieces of your worth and you start creating yourself again, and in that journey of transformation you … Continue reading It Hurts…
Experience Has Taught Me…
“Experience has taught me that what you love, you should love all the harder because someday it will be gone.” ―Ronan O'Brien
I Didn’t Sign Up For This
I'm having one of those days where anxiety & stress are overwhelming. Two steps away from hyperventilating, overwhelming. No, I don't need pity or to talk to anyone. I'm safe and will (probably) live to see another day. I considered calling my doctor or texting someone, and then chose not to do either. I'm that … Continue reading I Didn’t Sign Up For This
