Alone
I am fully committed to titling these posts instead of using the Musings tagline that I started awhile back. I mention this because it always amazes me how the titles come to life. Those of you who are my FB friends know that Puppy died on Friday evening. I had suspected something might be wrong …

Being Broken
It took everything to just write this sentence. Those of you who know me know that I am never, or rarely, at a loss for words. I have so much bottled up inside that I can’t even begin to express it. There are moments of insight, gratitude, clarity and the need to share that with …

Gratitude
You have to look really close, and maybe you still won’t see it, but there is a message in that “box” of sorts in the middle. I was in the shower on Wednesday morning and finished up. As I grabbed my towel, I had one of those 2 second lightening rounds of thoughts. The “box” …

The Age of Change
Greetings. You may have noticed I am back to actual blog titles and I can’t tell you why, only that it is time. I also am back to providing a title without knowing exactly what I am going to write. The titles come to me and voila, then so do the words. It may or …

Communication, and Lack Of
The last time I posted I was somewhat confused. A lot has happened since then both inside and out, and I’m having a period of clarity. This journey started many years ago, and then I was fearless. I may not have been mature, or clear, but I was fearless. I learned to harness my intuitive …

Musings for 9/3/2018
I just read a post somewhere unnamed, that may have been directed at me, regardless being preoccupied with life and coming and posting only ever 30 days or so. It stung. It’s true that I am preoccupied and that I am not present for anyone or anything except that which directly affects my day to …

Musings for 8/12/2018
I still struggle to share and write, and realize that I am doing as much turning away as I am leaning in. Aren’t we all just struggling to survive most days? I guess that’s the glass half empty viewpoint. I could also say how much wonderfulness there is in the world. It’s always a double-edged …

Musings (And Stuff) for 7/22/2018
I know, it’s been a long time since I’ve written. I became very depressed after I moved. I may have said that last time. And then I felt like all I was doing was whining, so everything I wanted to share, I just didn’t. There is a value in not spewing your story constantly. It …

Musings for 5/28/2018
I discovered last Friday morning, via FaceBook, that Erin’s friends apparently graduated from 8th grade on Thursday. I was not prepared for the feelings that followed, and I am a little ashamed to share them. I mean, what normal person is bitter that children are happy, healthy, and have moved on 4 years later? I …
