WHY I DON’T EAT BANANAS

She sat swinging her newly painted toes over the edge of the tailgate.  The truck was baby shit yellow, roughed up from one to many fender benders, and had a burn mark on the hood from an engine fire it had endured in its past.  But it was hers until she could afford a car…

THE NEW BEGINNING – PART SIX

The ending to the story…. This post will be short and to the point because I don’t want to linger with these thoughts much longer.  I know I have to concentrate on me.  I worry now about the worry I have placed on my friends and family…added stress and anxiety.  But this is honesty…it feels…

THE STRUGGLE WITHIN – PART THREE

It was late… I was home, had my game face on and was trying my best to be a wife and mom.  I had gone to a festival with my family, met some friends there, and had a good time.  On the sidelines though taking up space in my head were some insecurities brewing.  In…

HOLDING ONTO LIGHT

Inspired by a loved one but dedicated to all of those people in the world who don’t give up.  I know depression is a cycle, it is hard to be around, to witness, to be sucked into.  Many times watching someone go through depression makes you exhausted and leaves you feeling helpless.  But words do…

I have a friend who likes to tell me, “It isn’t always about you!”  Often times I feel like that phrase needs to be reflected back at him but sometimes he is right.  I am making this post ALL ABOUT ME! I think being clumsy is charming. – Probably because I am the clumsiest person…

INSTAGRAM KIND OF LIFE

I feel like my life has become a series of pictures.  Instead of memories I have albums.  My personality no longer matters… I am now judged on lighting, angle, contrast.  If my pictures are interesting I must be interesting. Most of my blog pictures come from Instagram.  You can tell so much about a person…

AN ICY PROPOSITION

I was watching a movie today where a woman fell into a frozen pond and was fighting for her life to resurface.  It was stressful to watch and hit a nerve somehow; I was anxious and felt overwhelmed for a moment.  Once the movie was over I sat thinking about how this movie, the particular…
