rituals

does anyone have a ritual? especially a mornin one? im occasionally convicted that i should have one but i don’t. the only thing that i am sure i will do at some point in the morning is get coffee. i never do the same thing twice, really, especially not in the morning. i would love [...]

think first…

is anyone else so impulsive that it spills over into every aspect of their life? i find myself constantly feeling bad or having to “clean up” after myself because i say or act impulsively. im trying so hard to change this  about me. being impulsive can be a good thing but not in this way.

the horn honker

sure…i guess at times it can be flattering to be honked or whistled at. but more than anything else, it’s annoying to me unless you are a good friend and trying to say hi or get my attention. i probably feel so strongly because when i attended Bob Jones University girls got honked at ALL [...]

without a crisis

July 29th would have been my dad’s 66th Birthday. there is not a day that goes by that i don’t miss him. Five years ago this August my dad lost his battle with lung cancer after struggling with it for a year. My dad was a smoker. he smoked all of his life. it was [...]

is it Easter yet?

They say time heals everything,
But I’m still waiting
I’m through, with doubt,
There’s nothing left for me to figure out,
I’ve paid a price, and i’ll keep paying
I’m not ready to make nice,
I’m not ready [...]

Heads Up…

My revelation for today is a weird truth about myself: when I am stressed I don’t eat, I don’t sit, I don’t talk. Basically, I become a walking, running basket case. Because I function very well under stress and pressure I tend to get more work done but when I am super stressed out I [...]

I don’t know what to say

That doesn’t happen to me often.
Have you ever felt so bothered that you wanted to talk about it but you didn’t know where to start? Or didn’t really know if you should?
yup. that’s me. Thankfully I know it won’t last long so watch out for the next blog!
In the meantime you should check out my [...]

More than words

Have you every felt like you had a lot to say but were unsure where to start so you didn’t say anything?
I feel like that a lot. Whether I am writing or talking. I have a lot to contribute and I want my opinions to be heard and appreciated but I am unsure on how [...]
