Sometimes there's a moment in your memory that stops everything. A recalled scent makes you hungry. A comforting sound makes you wistful. A chill reminds you of a misty morning. A sentence turns over in your mind. A remembered shadow on the wall makes you tremble. As much as I'd like to live in the … Continue reading memory embraced…

sound bite…
The world outside my window is full of life. Life that I'm thoroughly disconnected from. Living in the city you hear the ins and outs of the daily lives of all manner of man and beast. From the frantic scurrying of the urban squirrels along the ground, in the tress or balanced precariously on the … Continue reading sound bite…
the opposite of abandon…
My words have never been as cautiously chosen as they have in the last year. While I used to select certain words and syllables with great care, listening to their cadence, their beat, the way they fell from my lips when I breathed them aloud. I wrote with abandon, playfulness and honesty. Kind of. With … Continue reading the opposite of abandon…
advice for a long haired not hippie?
I was just in one of my happy places. The shower. Taking a long hot shower. Thinking deep showery thoughts while the water pressed against my skin and the heat and steam threatened to steal my breath so I could relax. And as I am a girl and not a hippie and in the shower … Continue reading advice for a long haired not hippie?

I ask because something happened over the weekend that made me bat shit bonkers annoyed and I never ever ever want to see it again... but the times being what they are I'm quite sure it's going to happen at some point. You … Continue reading a new pet peeve is born…
almost spring cleaning…
I woke up in the morning when the sun was sunny and popped out of bed like some chipper little bunny rabbit or something eager to start my day. My day chocked full of a ton of menial little tasks! Closet cleaning, drawer sorting, book boxing, dish washing tasks! And away we went. Up up … Continue reading almost spring cleaning…
mending…
I sat with needle and thread. And tweezers and scissors. And an ice cold drink, just in case. But I sat with needle and thread and mended things that needed mending. A button here, a ripped seam there. And the zipper of my favorite bag. The end stop had come off and when I unzipped … Continue reading mending…
hbo shows, meet cami’s life…
There are days as I sit and watch the world go by and listen to those around me that I wonder if I’m in the waiting room for HBO shows. One mom talks about her divorce and her ex’s divorces. Messy and messier still. Another hands out homemade cookies and talks about the planned community … Continue reading hbo shows, meet cami’s life…
of words, thoughts and symmetry…
It began as a conversation with my daughter. Discussing eyes. Then eyelashes. Mascara. We ended up at fake eyelashes. The fake eyelash is something that many women have a chance to get to know throughout their lives. Some of us loathe them. Some of us love them. Some of us manage to avoid them. My … Continue reading of words, thoughts and symmetry…
