It has been another long day.  I'm doing my best to breathe and stay focused on positivity. My feelings are hurt that after years of running around helping everyone, I am at rock bottom and...

I've not spent much time journaling here.  I've actually been so knocked off balance the last year, I've just been surviving.  I'm ready to really live again.  Part of my committment to myself is...

Wow, it's been four months since I managed to journal.  I'm just not so good at getting around to it.  I've had a little more time this week, things are slow before the mad final rush next week at...

For the first time in so many years, I am alone.  Even though I do get feelings of loneliness at times, I really think I am okay.  Of course, I've always thought too much and perhaps have a few...

At times, I feel so out of control.  Just of everything.  Some part of me realizes that control is just an illusion and that it mainly just makes us feel better.  The other part, really wishes for...

...that I really wonder.  I know many, many women do it all the time, but still I wonder. The past couple of weeks have just been a blur.  The constant whirlwind of finding my 13-year-old son a...

A bright, beautiful soul, so full of hope and wonder stifled, smothered, beat and broken over time.  The soul bleeds out, not all at once, but slowly, slowly. There is no warning of getting to these...

Who wakes up early in the morning to see you up, even on three hours of sleep? Who checks on you during the day, to be sure you are okay or just to say, “I am thinking of you”? Who picks you up...

Once upon a time, I met an amazing man, such beautiful eyes and the greatest smile. We shared a dance, one sweet little kiss. We had a dinner with the most loving family I have seen; they felt like...

If you love only in order to be loved back - this is narcissistic love. Loving someone is not dependent upon emotional reciprocity. If your child stopped loving you - you do not stop loving him. You...

All of the times that I tried to believe in the unbelievable, even knowing the foolishness of it all, all of the harsh words back and forth, shooting for the dream, the one chance in a million that...

I basically made this decision...I am me and I am a beautiful creation. I may not keep the house as clean as it could be every day, but when I clean it....it is the cleanest house you have EVER seen....
