Hear Her Roar
#TBT Three years ago to be exact.. The savage friend is one not all of us come across in a lifetime. That friend who will defend you no matter what and be by your side like the most loyal of humans. Beware the lioness though, she kills for much deeper reasons than survival. This friend… Continue reading Hear Her Roar
City Loathing
My life is so chaotic, with all the dog sitting, relationship turmoil, death...and taxes (movie reference, get it?) it’s a wonder the dogs even like me. There is the occasional dog who sleeps away from me, lays away from me, watches me and I wonder if they sense my unrest, my complete abandon for certain… Continue reading City Loathing
Passing On
My Mother died in August. If you follow my blog and or read the one about internal bleeding that was about her, we all knew her sad but beautiful heart would someday fail but I don't think anything could have prepared me. I don't know many girls who have a best friend for their Mother;… Continue reading Passing On

Monsters Ball

And sometimes, the answer we get just confirms our worst fears. But sometimes, it can shed new light on the problem, make you see it… Continue reading “Ask me no questions and I’ll tell you no lies”
There is no spoon…
The idea of happiness, being happy, content, a deep sigh of 'life is good' is something that escapes me, I have moments of glee or thankfulness but overall I'm not happy. Consistently wanting more, thinking of him...remembering those few and far between happy times. That may be why I have an unhealthy connection to him,… Continue reading There is no spoon…
Surgical Love
"The goal of any surgery is total recovery - to come out better than you were before. Some patients heal quickly and feel immediate relief. For others the healing happens gradually, and it's not until months or even years later that you realize you don't hurt anymore. So the challenge after any surgery is to… Continue reading Surgical Love
Frequentato
Everywhere I walk all I see are ghosts, specters, mists that look like your face, your eyes. A whiff of your smell or a flash of us laughing, sitting in that spot where we once called it love; I see places we went, things we did, things he said, things she said and it’s all… Continue reading Frequentato
