It's been raining here in the desert today, a beautiful day. Kind of romantic even. It's the end of Valentine's Day. It's quiet now. I had only one wedding to perform today. It was a nice one, older retired couple. Those are sometimes the best weddings to be part of. With older couples, they already … Continue reading At The End Of The Day
A Little Help In Small Places

The manager and I don't get along, there's never enough time to get everything done, and I always feel like I'm fixing a problem that someone else created. But I do Love my job!

Depression Can Be A Bitch
Something I have fought all my life is depression. If you look back at some of my other posts, sometimes it becomes obvious that I have it. When I was around 20 years old, I was diagnosed with what is called "Cyclothymia". An easier way to know what that is - A-typical bi-polarity (more extreme … Continue reading Depression Can Be A Bitch
Community Is Where You Find It
A few months ago, my husband and I were having a conversation about how there is no real community anymore. He's right. There isn't. Communities, in the sense of who you live in a geographical area with, don't exist anymore. We have online communities, organizational communities, service communities, but we don't have neighborhood or town … Continue reading Community Is Where You Find It
New Year, New Opportunities, New Growth
I've already spoken about how much last year, quite frankly, really sucked. It was devastating emotionally, draining physically, and my stress levels skyrocketed beyond belief. I am grateful to say that so far, this year is already different. I'm not going to tell you that life is easier than last year. It's not. We've had … Continue reading New Year, New Opportunities, New Growth

Little Challenges
So my husband and I have both been trying to make changes in our lives. He's recently given up Facebook, and I'm not far behind (I'm giving up the personal one only, the professional one will still exist.). We've given up any and all pay internet tv (we already don't have cable or satellite). Then … Continue reading Little Challenges
Happy Solstice
It's a peaceful, quiet night here, the perfect kind of night to go outside and watch the stars twinkling in the night sky. It's a perfect night to go look at the lights blinking on the water tower Christmas tree the city puts up every year. It's the perfect kind of night to sit back … Continue reading Happy Solstice
