For most of my life, I hated being alone. I hated the fear of what was going to return, I hated the fear of not having done enough, or done something wrong. The uncomfortability of being part of a dysfunctional home was preferable to the fear of not knowing. Plus, having someone else in the … Continue reading Spending Time Alone
The Behavior Of…
Today, I need to talk about the behavior of our government officials, our politicians, those whom "we have entrusted" (the truth of that is a subject for another post) to positions of power. This is an issue that is in every government, every nation, large or small. It can come from local elected officials to … Continue reading The Behavior Of…
Drama, Drama Everywhere…
and not a bite of news on which to think. The last several days, as I usually do, I've been watching the headlines in the "news", and I keep wondering, "Where is it? Where is my news?". I keep watching the headlines, and nothing that I see in the news matches what I see and … Continue reading Drama, Drama Everywhere…
Summer In The Desert
Summer in the Arizona desert is brutal. It's hot and humid, I've been sleeping for two days straight, and I still can't wake up. It's also killing my drive to be creative. I have all of these things I want to write, and do, but I am having the worst time with finding the drive … Continue reading Summer In The Desert
Setting Realistic Expectations
Now that I'm feeling a little bit back on track, it's time to get down to some more practical writing, which I've been missing. However, I do recognize that there are times when I need to step back from writing for any variety of reasons: spending time with family, taking time to gain a fuller … Continue reading Setting Realistic Expectations
So Here It Is…
July 5, and I'm just barely getting my first post of the month written. Still, it is July in Arizona, and the heat bakes almost any desire to do anything right out of most people. Meanwhile, I've had to make some decisions about certain areas of my life, and where I need to make the … Continue reading So Here It Is…
Dreams Do Come True…
And, yes, miracles do happen. When I was attending church a few years ago, occasionally the opportunity would come up to talk about something recent that had occurred in your life, a blessing or unexpected surprise, happy endings, that sort of thing. Occasionally I would get up and speak about something that had recently occurred, … Continue reading Dreams Do Come True…
New Life Progressing
Once again, nearly a week goes by and I am just coming back to write another blog. I did say that this page would follow life, and so it is. Much has happened in the last few weeks. Since I've starting listening to music again, everything has opened up and my creative passion has come … Continue reading New Life Progressing
Living Up to Expectations
For most of my life I tried to live up to other people's expectations: family, friends, teachers, etc. Most of the expectations I was expected to live up to were also directly conflictory with other things I was being told. For example, "you can be anything you want to be, but you can't do ... ". … Continue reading Living Up to Expectations
The Power Of…
When I was a child, I used to tell my mother, "When I grow up, I am going to have...)", and I would list off all of the things I wanted for my life. In true fashion for her, my mother would find ways to denigrate every thing I said, and tell me why I … Continue reading The Power Of…
