I’d been saving the bottle. It was special. Something I’d hoped to drink for a special occasion. A celebration. Nothing poignant, nothing bittersweet. Just simply, happy. But the months passed and there it sat, nearly forgotten. And, life went on and nothing much, nothing good anyway, happened. The bottle became a fixture of the crisper [...]

Amidst my own ongoing relationship drama, I recently found myself on the front lines of the dissolution of a marriage. I had been privy to much of what was happening first-hand, but even I was caught unaware by the tipping point that would launch the relationship into a full-fledged separation and inevitable divorce.

Well then, let’s get to the topic at hand. There are perhaps no “right” words to write about what the last three months have brought to both of our lives. With or without meaning to, my boyfriend and I both placed expectations upon what living together would be- me, naïvely but in good faith, and he, apparently [...]

Five years. Last week, though (like the bad little blogger I’ve been lately) I only just realized, marked five years for me as a blogger. Reflecting on that time, both upon blogging and the content on which I write, I’ve experienced quite a bit of Life over those years… I fell in love. And out [...]

Over the weekend, I was out running errands around the city and found myself in the Loop on State Street. If you’ve never been to State Street, then imagine a place where wandering homeless persons and panhandlers gather alongside packs of high school children loitering aimlessly.
