I think that if my dad listened Tom Petty’s “Wildflowers” he would say this is exactly what I would say to you, your sister, and your nieces. Every time I hear it, I imagine my dad telling me to do exactly as the lyrics say. I don’t know what inspired Tom Petty to write it, but I’m glad he did. And I’m even happier that … Continue reading Wildflowers
wan·der·lust [won-der-luhst] –noun a strong, innate desire to rove or travel about I guess I take after my dad. He is a long haul truck driver. He’s happy as a clam in sand on the road. He loves to travel. Growing up, we were rarely in a place long. First it was military and then it was construction. I lived in Hawaii as a toddler, … Continue reading My Wanderlusting Soul
I’ve been in a mood over the last 2-3 weeks. Winter funk, blah funk, or just down…not sure, but what I am sure about was that I needed a soul cleansing. For my soul cleansing, I normally clean out the closet of crap I don’t need. Clean the house out as well, and clean out the office. Those that work with me like it when … Continue reading Strangers to Friends
Here’s another one of my alter egos. I have several. My real self and all it’s glory is Shelia Taylor and my hockey self The Hockey Maven and now Scorpios and Rabbits…the rebirth. I started this years ago and then merged it with my Shelia Taylor domain. I was getting lazy and didn’t want to have to write for 2 websites, but now, as I’m … Continue reading Scorpios and Rabbits…the rebirth.
There are days when you wake up and you have that feeling in your bones that it’s going to be a great day and then there are days when you wake up and you have that feeling that the world as you know it might come to end. This morning, I woke up on the thin line in between those two. Something has been bugging … Continue reading My Life Choices Are Mine
On December 27, 2010, I started the coloring session of my new tattoo with Travis @ Fu’s Custom Tattoos So what hurts the worst between the outline and coloring? Hands down, the coloring hurt the most BUT the day after, the place where the tape clung to my skin over night hurt the worst. No lie. The tape and I aren’t friends. I can happily say though, Session … Continue reading New Tattoo: The Color
Well it’s a Saturday night and I’m sitting in Palm Springs, California. It’s been one year and and one month and twenty days and fourteen hours and forty eight minutes since you have left. And it’sstill seems like yesterday I was laying in bed with you while you took your last breath. I keep hoping that I’ll walk in the front door of the house and you’ll come … Continue reading Time
On Thursday, January 27, 2011, I started the outline & color of the back/shoulder piece of my tattoo with Travis @ Fu’s Custom Tattoos I find that tattoo experience only quasi painful and oddly stress relieving. Between the sounds of the tattoo guns buzzing, the music playing over head, and the sound of conversations from others in the shop, when I enter Fu’s Custom Tattoos, I immediately … Continue reading Ink, Needles, And A Tattoo Gun
On Friday, December 3, 2010, I finally went to get a tattoo. The design has been in the works just 2 weeks shy of a year. This is not my 1st tattoo. It is my 8th tattoo. My 1st tattoo was when I was 18 years old. It’s on my right shoulder blade and is a tiny bear holding a flower. It is not a … Continue reading New Tattoo: The Outline
