Three Words —

Bravery. Forgiveness. Endurance. Life has a way of falling into place for me as of late. I wanted to write something thought provoking tonight, but lacked a topic…that is until I read my friend Graydancer’s blog. His latest got me thinking (again), and thus my entry started germinating. His latest blog, Word Up, talks about […]

Flawed —

A recent letter from a far away friend got me thinking. Though I’ve spoken recently concerning what I love about myself and what makes me me, other than one or two choice entries, I have not extensively talked about my flaws. As a mostly positive person, I tend to shy away from the aspects of […]

Music Saves Me —

When you walk by every night/Talking sweet and looking fine/I get kinda hectic inside/Baby I’m so into you/Darling if you only knew/All the things that go through my mind Mariah Carey – Fantasy I wanna dance with somebody/I wanna feel the heat with somebody/Yeah, I wanna dance with somebody/With somebody who loves me Whitney Houston – […]

Love On Top —

“But I know it’s gonna take a little work/Nothing’s perfect/But it’s worth it/After fighting through my tears/And finally you put me first/Baby, it’s you/You the one I love/You’re the one I need/You’re the only one I see/Come one baby it’s you/You’re the one that gives your all/You’re the one I can always call/When I need […]

Woo-ing Myself —

I read a recent post by my friend Gray Miller on his blog lovelifepractice.com. This particular entry focused on learning to love oneself. He concluded his entry with a simple question: What do you love about yourself? This got me thinking. So, I answered it. – My eyes. They say more than I can ever put […]

Being Present —

A close friend of mine recently paid me the oddest compliment. Well, it seemed odd to me. I recounted the highlights of my recent excursion to New Jersey and the awesome event that was Tied Down. I told her about the classes and my scene with Gray. I then explained how I didn’t allow any […]

Oral History —

I’m a bit quirky. At least that’s what I call it. When I go to events, I always, always, carry a few things: my cell phone, my Hello Kitty bag, a pen, and, most important of all, my notebooks. I go to many classes. When I attend a presentation, I sit front row center and […]

Perspective —

My mother’s best friend’s father died the day before Thanksgiving. Today was his funeral. I didn’t know this man. I had maybe met him once when I was a child, too young to remember the encounter, but I found myself at his signing off all the same. I was there for the family, with whom […]

Pressure —

I know I put undue pressure on myself almost all the time. When it comes to work, there are times when I dread walking out of my front door. Recently I’ve been put in a semi-leadership position, asked to take on more responsibilities. Granted, this also means extra pay, but with the added money came […]

Comparison —

I have this nasty little habit: I look at other peoples’ lives and compare them to my own. Shit, let me be honest. I compare my everything to everyone else’s everything. And not just the cliche shit (body, job, car, house). I compare small things, like how jacked up my car is compared to most other […]
