I did the right thing
The Uber driver asked me how my day was and he was quite chipper. But I was even happier. I was joyful and humming. It’s been hard to hide my joy. And I should not need to. He asked me if my day had gone as expected and […]
Be who you needed when going through hard times
Dark days, somber days Restless moments Fearful nights The stage was set Helping hand and a comforting smile Peaceful silence Non-judgmental eyes All bits of what dreams are made of Now there are others Many wounded and broken Some crying and fighting with themselves Remember your own pain […]
Let it slide: Just let it slide
My son hates the movie Frozen. But almost all the boys in his 4th grade class did. So, he was not unique. He really disliked that “Let it Go” song. And, I get that. I didn’t care for it all that much the first time let alone the […]
Hiding one’s happiness from others: No way
Life is funny sometimes. Actually. Life is funny quite often. Now whether you see the humor in it is an entirely different matter. I like to see sunny skies but don’t ask me to smell the roses. I’m allergic. With that said, life is funny and it should […]
In the hopes of pinpointing a truth that matters
One can roll the dice. Can ask the magic eight ball. But what was the one true way to know what the truth may be? They always say the truth lies somewhere in between. In between what, though? Sigh. They had created their own version of a […]

Skipping out on your reality crash
You told yourself a nice little manufactured story A story of brazen lies and innuendo A bit to cast your faults onto others Was caught in your spider web of holes I threw it off like a moldy scarf Your public pretense of care offensive I’m leaving your […]
Becoming unstuck
Rooted in place Mired in mud Longing to push out Pulling onself up Becoming unstuck is the stuff dreams are made of Run away fast But run towards something Don’t runaway from Set the goalpost Create friction and forward force Becoming unstuck needs to be deliberate And deliberated […]
I like magic shows but I’m no magician
This past year has been the year of magic for me. And, by that I do not mean that the year has been one of grand delight and awe and sugar and spice. For it most definitely has not been. Instead, I am being a bit more literal […]
I’m done, done, done like an overcooked steak
I have been thinking a lot lately about the phrase “I’m done.” I wondered recently if being done is an emotion. Most people feel that it is. Some noted it’s a gumbo or stew of emotions. I most definitely know that being done is an emotion. And I […]
