This journey is coming soon! 12 days to go! It’s hard to believe it’s so close. I feel like I have so much left to do but actually I don’t. I feel in that limbo stage. I should be doing something but I’m not. I guess this is the time to get everything around here […]
A Love Poem To Myself
I stumbled on this in a journal the other day and since finding it I’ve read it over and over again. It reminds me of all the beauty in my life that honestly I sometimes overlook or refuse to see. We have so many little blessings around us but are often to busy to even […]
Solo I Go In 4 Weeks
Holy Cow. 4 weeks until I leave. School starts back in one. Crap. I really should have done more of planning on the front end – when I first made the decision to do this – but honestly I kept putting off investing money so if I backed out I wouldn’t have flushed money down […]
Why Are You Doing This?
“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 […]
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 […]
