The reset
A sad song had been helpful. A walk had been of great use. A silly television show such as Big Bang Theory helped her laugh. Now she was going to go to a game where she could scream, boo, cheer on and just let it out. Or so […]
The day after a beautiful tribute
It was not something I had thought about. It’s not something I had ever envisioned doing. It’s not something I had looked forward to. But I did it. The day came and not only got through it, but it also went well. I’m talking about the memorial service […]
I won’t run or hide: I’m coming back somehow
There are times when you are faced with situations that are completely unbearable. And, no matter how many times you note that “this too shall pass,” you can’t self-soothe. We often, as a society, advise new moms to let a crying baby cry it out and “self-soothe.” That […]
The annoyance of checking off the widow box
This year has not been easy, and it’s only February. Some people say it can only get better from here. Statistically speaking, I’m not convinced of that. Nonetheless, I keep going allowing myself to vent here and there along the way. Today, I just had to stop and […]

The place was a vault of time that had passed
She looked up at the building. It had taken her two hours to get her. Although, in actuality, it had taken her ten years. Here she was with all the courage she could muster. She put gloves on and grabbed the fire escape ladder. She climbed up to […]
You make me laugh silly clown
For some, clowns are scary. They can be creepy. They can be a bit other-worldly. I, myself, don’t know what I feel about clowns. I knew a real clown once. He was odd but not creepy. He was nice but hiding a big secret. Which I never will […]
My dog in blue
My sweet, sweet dog. He is a bit skittish and anxious. Yet, he is extremely playful and content in ripping a chew toy apart. In seeking moments of zen, he brings quiet and levity. He’s also a chameleon. He is a grey dog who, at times, looks blue. […]
