Wow, I haven’t written anything here since March. Let’s catch up. I’m now 224 days alcohol free. It’s been a great journey and one I have loved learning from. The power I […]
Let’s Catch Up
Life, it Happens
Life happens. Regardless if you actively participate in it or not. Your life, my life, it happens. After January’s writing challenge, I was exhausted from writing and being creative. I set my […]
Moving Out and Growing Up
It’s time to move out and to continuing growing up. Literally and figuratively. This is my last Saturday in my very first apartment here in Sydney. I’ve lived in an Art Deco […]
Until Then, In the Darkness…
The hardest thing about this December 17th is that I cried daily leading up to it. I’m not talking about a few tears. I’m talking about cry until you get a god […]
Like a Memory
There are things in life that trigger your memory or memories, to a certain time, a certain place, a certain feeling, etc. For me, there are certain songs that will remind me […]
No Pen Required, An Honest Conversation (Mostly with Myself)
I’ve been working on this post for a while. How long is a while? In a writer’s world, too fucking long is how long but it’s been about 1000 days in the […]
Vital Signs
I have a “Goliath” that is physically, mentally, and emotionally making me sick. It has put more fear in me than it should have. I have realized how much mental, emotional, and physical energy […]
Dead Living

Sunday Reflections
The month of February I was not living from the choice of what I wanted to do. I was living in the choice of what I should do to get through the shit I had on my list…aka sleep walking through the monotonous motions of a life I was not choosing to live but a life I was letting choose me.
THE $23.69 LIFE LESSON
If I am honest, I am undeniably single. I have been since 1999. It has been by my choice and I must say, it’s been one of the best choices I’ve made for my life. Some people need someone to feel complete and happy, and I’m pretty darn complete and happy with me. I don’t knock those who need someone, but I am an advocate at learning to spend and love yourself. RuPaul says it best: “If you don’t love yourself, how in the hell you gonna love somebody else?”
FOLLOWING YOUR JOY
“Following your joy, finding what it is when you lose your track of time and trying to direct your life so you can do that as much as possible you’ll start enjoying life a lot more and you’ll find that things will fall into place. That’s the secret to happiness and finding who you are, is following your natural instincts of what makes you happy.”
