Today is my last day of unhealthy eating & being a lazy slob. I’m changing my habits for you. I can hear you tell me “you know you can do it, you just have to work hard at it.” Hopefully in 30 days I’ll be 10lbs lighter, eating healthier than I do now, and feel better about myself. I know I can do it and … Continue reading Changing for You
I had this idea come to me last night. Last night wasn’t a good night for me. I miss my mom but last night, I missed her a lot more than I usually did. I really needed motherly advice, her motherly advice, but she’s no longer here to give it to me. So as I cried off and on for most of the night, caught … Continue reading My Letters
Well, I’d like to think I do have this thing called life figured out, but who am I to kid Mama. I’m great at giving the right advice and I’m great at listening. I suck at following advice for others. I think it’s a trust issue. I don’t know why I have trust issues, but I do. I think the trust issues are the fact … Continue reading I Think I Got This Figured Out
I finally decided to sit down and go through the mail. It wasn’t my mail, it was my mom’s mail. They were all medical bills and condolences from hospital staff. Tucked in all that was my mom’s death certificate. She left this world on December 17, 2009. She’s finally home with her dad and her mom. Knowing that was one thing. Realizing it was another. … Continue reading Death Certificate
Everyone keeps asking me if I’m okay and even though I say yes, they give me that look like I’m lying to them. Yes, one week ago my mom died. Yes, one week ago I lost one of the most important people in my life (but I have others who are just as important still with me.) Why can’t I be okay with death? My … Continue reading Hope Comes from Letting Go
Today @ 12:55 pm, Heaven gained their biggest angel…even if she’s only four nine and weighs in at 85 lbs. Tonight, the heavens shine a lot brighter with their best star in the sky. Today, my mama, my Crazy Little Thai Woman, the woman who I adored, passed away. I could go on about what happened, but those who know me and who I hold … Continue reading Lek Taylor

It’s Sunday, October 18th and it’s 9:02 pm. I’m sitting in my room listening to the sounds of life outside my apartment window. I much prefer the sounds of the countryside. I recognize the sounds instantly there. Here, I’m not sure if the noise I hear is from a neighbor, a business, a light rail, people, the settling of a new apartment building, and so … Continue reading Goodnight Baby
