Sometimes there are no profound endings, no last words of significance. Sometimes things just fade away. How did we become such strangers? There are no more fights. No more tears. No more raised voices. No more trying. Just sand slipping through your fingers. A break up that wasn’t. How did this happen to us? You’re [...]

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.

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. It is [...]

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 [...]

I haven’t written in nearly a month. Instead of writing, I’ve been cooped up with my thoughts. I can’t seem to escape them. I can’t seem to articulate them. And I can’t seem to come to much of a conclusion except to say I keep feeling like life is passing me by. All around me [...]

After a long work day, after driving six laps around neighboring streets looking for parking, after returning to my apartment on an empty stomach with hands full and the inside temp a balmy 86 degrees; I kept my heels on. I knew it was silly bothering to wear them as I rushed to shut the [...]

As my regular readers can attest, I. Am. Not. A. Baby. Person. But, wouldn’t you know, on a visit to Mara after The Baby was born, he actually didn’t scream bloody murder when I held him! In fact, he fell asleep. Bizarre child. Can you imagine? Which is when my friend’s husband asked if I [...]
