Life, Laughter, Love...and Shiny Objects
When someone loses their life to drugs, alcohol or suicide, is it really a life wasted? Think about it. Does the cause of their death negate their whole entire life and being, up until the point we lost them? Does it make them unworthy of the very life they lived prior to their death? When […]
New Year’s: The end of an old year, the beginning of a new. A time for recaps and resolutions, lists and liquor. Right? Okay, we don’t do resolutions around here…and sadly, we never made it to the liquor cabinet for even one drink last night…BUT we did get to the recap and lists! Here’s the […]
Happy Happy, Merry Merry! I was planning on sitting down and coming up with some really deliberate, meaningful, deep and inspirational post about Christmas, the Holidays and all that is Merry. But then, well – I just got too busy with all that Merry stuff and ran out of time! You know how it goes, […]
Our road. It’s a hard one to be sure. But then aren’t we all on hard roads, for one reason or another? When talking with others about the speed bumps on my particular road, the mental illnesses that my son fights daily, people often respond with, “Ugh. I don’t know how you do it…” I […]

Get it? I’m WRITE and RIGHT where I’m supposed to be. It’s been four months since I’ve been focusing on my writing. Something I always wanted to do. Something that I always needed to do. And…it’s been four months since I’ve been gainfully employed. Gainful employment. What does that even mean anyway? According to Wikipedia, “Gainful […]
Okay, so you know how yesterday I wrote the post Moms…You Are Enough. And it was all about us Moms believing we ARE enough? I talked about how we need to stop comparing ourselves to other moms and determining our worth based on that comparison? Yeah, well…I’m still learning this concept myself. Perhaps this is […]
Moms…listen up. You are enough. Do you hear me? You…yes, YOU ARE ENOUGH. And I’m telling you this, as much as I’m telling myself. Too often, I find myself comparing, measuring, rating myself. Especially my role as a Mom. That seems to be one of the roles I doubt most about myself. And probably because […]
