“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma, which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.” Steve Jobs This […]
A Day of Anxiety
I wrote this post on May 14, 2018 but didn’t post it. I do this often. Write posts about the darkness but keep them to myself. That’s what people with depression often do – keep it to themselves when they need to share it to have support to get through the darkness. Others often carry […]

Marionette
This was written in November of 2017 – 8 months ago. I’m in a much better place now and honestly when I read this I thought to myself – I didn’t write these words. I did and I’m damn proud of myself that I found my way out of this. To free myself I must […]

Summer Break Is Coming
Summer’s here. Swimming, sleeping in, vacation, cookouts….loosing my mind because I either overplanned or didn’t plan enough? So this year I’m keeping it simple because these days simple is what I need but I know the kids need a schedule. If there is no schedule I will get tired of answering what do I do […]
Into The Great Wide Open I Go
September I’m taking a trip that I had planned on taking thirteen years ago. Before marriage, two children and two careers I dreamed of exploring the west. I know not exotic or international but at the time I wasn’t thinking as big as time has now allowed me to dream. I just knew I thought […]
RESET
This is not a dark post but a happy post – What? I have wanted to break free of my life for so long but those chains are often hard to break. Micheal Miridad calls this a Spiritual Transformation of the Soul in You’re Not Going Crazy, Just Waking Up. I had to cross over […]
The Love U Project | The Bucket List
“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the things you did.” ~ Mark Twain |Week 9| We should all have a bucket list. I didn’t make one until last year at the suggestion of my husband. I had read lists that went into the 100’s […]
Dave & Brandi
I’ve been a poet since I was young. I always found respite with a journal, pen and the four corners of my bedroom. I’ve always had my music and my words regardless of how alone I may have felt. They always reminded me I was not alone. Flash forwards 30 years later and I still […]
Let My Little Light Shine
“And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” ― Marianne Williamson, A Return to Love: Reflections on the Principles of “A Course in Miracles” I started Dancing in a Hurricane almost […]
Sharing My Story
Lately I’ve been struggling with sharing my story. This rises from my current personal experiences but then for a moment someone or something reminds me the importance of sharing my story to remind others they are far from alone. Actually I’ve been reminded daily lately. So what have I been doing to find the strength […]
