My black cat was my saving grace during a bad time in my life, and she helped me focus. I saw her photo and adoption info on a Monday and by Wednesday night, she was asleep in my lap. I already knew what her name would be when I looked at her sweet face. There … Continue reading Black Cat Appreciation Day 2018
Pieces Of Me
I’d Frown, But…
I'd frown, but I have no wrinkles and don't want to age prematurely. 😉 I thought I'd say hello and let you all know I'm semi-alive. I've been working on a piece these past few weeks, but have had a lot of setbacks that have kept me at a 70/30 percentage in terms of completing … Continue reading I’d Frown, But…
Dazed, Confused, and Out Of Sorts
I'm running out of ways to describe my current state of mind. Earlier this week I had a different sense of self, and then I came home to discover I had lost my house key and the remote for the alarm.

They last a week or a month, sometimes two, but very rarely become a new way of living for … Continue reading Works In Progress

There will be times when, to address certain issues, I will have to look back on this year and handle things that pain me. I would love to make a clean break, but as we all know, there are so many things that define us and shape our future selves. I am praying hard for … Continue reading Goodbye 2017
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
