Sitting, staring at the computer on my lap. Music playing in the background, I glance around the room, looking at pictures of you. Waiting for my fingers to start typing. Tap … tap … tapping my finger tips on the edge of the keyboard. I want to write something, I NEED to write something; TODAY. … Continue reading

2013: A Wish for the New Year
The Gift of Kindness
December 14th, 2012. A date that will never be forgotten; likely a date that will be read about in history books by future generations. The day that 28 lives were lost; 20 innocent children, six inspiring leaders, a mother and a troubled young man. As a nation we mourn together. We continue to ask “Why?” … Continue reading
Consumed by Consumption
Addiction is an awful thing. It’s something that seems to be a topic on the news a lot lately, and it’s unfortunate that it takes tragedies for it to be spoken about so much and discussed so openly. Unless you were completely unplugged this weekend and disconnected from society, you know that Amy Winehouse was … Continue reading
The Piddling Puggle

Tale of A Furry Savior
Life catches up with you when you’re not looking. Actually, when you’re avoiding it, it hits you like a mack truck; life’s way of saying “snap out it already!” About three months ago I adopted a puggle named Walker. My brother-in-law’s friend needed to find his dog a new home because one of his children was allergic … Continue reading
‘The Voice’ Inside Me
I’m sitting on my couch watching The Voice and I find myself in a moment of pure happiness … contentment, even. I just enjoyed a couple of slices of FREE pizza, left over from lunch at work, and a glass of a smooth, buttery Chardonnay while getting lost in the music and the beauty of … Continue reading
I Say, You Say … Lists for Inspiration
I found this fun, ongoing meme called “Unconscious Mutterings“. A new list of words is posted every week for an ongoing exercise in free association. Apparently, over time, this technique is supposed to help recover repressed thoughts and feelings that one can then work through to gain a better sense of self. But, I thought … Continue reading
