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…
a sister I never had…
"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times." Yep. It's true. True of every moment that this world goes round. For someone it's the very best day, the very best moment of their life. For someone else it's the worst, the beginning or the end. It's a package deal the ups … Continue reading a sister I never had…
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…
dinner – breakfast conversion chart…
I was honestly under the impression that I don't want pizza often. It's not that I don't like pizza. It's just that I can't eat it all the time. It could have been the weekly pizza night as a kid. Or the fact that I have a kid and those things are like little pizza … Continue reading dinner – breakfast conversion chart…

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?

a new pet peeve is born…
Can something be a pet peeve if you've only experienced it once? 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…
night and day…
Fear can be a motivating factor. Especially in the night or wee hours of morning. Before dawn brings with it soothing light to remind us that our worst nightmares are not about to come true. What is it about those horrible places that dreams can take us? Waking up with that seed of horror planted … Continue reading night and day…
the long lost poems…
So they aren't really lost, nor were they written too long ago in the grand scheme of things, but I would say 16 years is long enough to pull them out of their paper tombs. I'm in the process of typing up and storing away many of my old pieces and as I do so … Continue reading the long lost poems…
