V Day

Here goes another Valentine’s Day. I am not going to complain about being single. But, I am single. I am not going to bitch and moan about there being no man in my life, because, there is no man in my life. I’ve come to see this holiday in a much different way than I … Continue reading »

Society’s Definition of…

What is pretty? What is ugly? I am being more specific, really….when it comes down to it; what makes a person attractive or not attractive? Soul. We all have our own perceptions, but, so does society. Sometimes I think people fall victim to jumping on a bandwagon or just accepting a norm that isn’t at … Continue reading »

“Ten years ago, I was…”

I am finally going to do one of Mama’s Losin’ It‘s writing prompts. I could probably blog every day straight for the next 2 years if I did all the ones I wanted to. But, today, I chose this one. There are happy memories associated with it, and…who doesn’t love happy?! Ten years ago was … Continue reading »

1991

Last evening, I spent some time with my Mom, my aunt and several of my cousins. It was a scrapbooking party but I didn’t do any. I’m just not crafty. My mom was working on the year 1991 – and had her calendars saved from that year to help her remember – she claims she … Continue reading »

Searching for the words.

Today was one of those days. A day where life just smacks into you with all it’s might, slamming into your heart, your mind, your being. I was left feeling….well, TOO much, much more than I had expected to feel. And now I feel a little dazed. And confused. It’s strange when you have a … Continue reading »

No, not for me. *lol* But, I know I am in a good place when I can still, after everything, be grateful and feel peace. The main reason being that I am surrounded by tons of love and support but, … Continue reading »

The Fang Factor

In my book, there are 2 things one needs to be a great film vampire. Having seen pretty much EVERY vampire movie EVER made, I feel I am allowed to express these opinions. Well, really I’d express them anyways because I don’t care if people listen to me or not. And, if there is one … Continue reading »

The Story of Names

A few months ago, one of my previous co-workers asked me how my daughter got her name. For those who don’t know, her name is Berlyn. Like, the town in Germany. The Berlin Wall. And….the 80′s new wave group, Berlin. Most people don’t realize I actually DID chose her name because of the 80′s new … Continue reading »

Hello? Is it me you’re looking for?

Lately a question has been running through my brain. “What happened to me?” It sort of throws me at first but, it also seems crystal clear – I don’t know myself anymore. It’s more than just “what happened” – it’s, “where did my old luster for life, my spirit, my sparkle go?” I know that hindesight … Continue reading »
