As most parts of the U.S. is trying to recover from a massive snowstorm (the closest we had was an hour away), I'm finding myself trying to take a few minutes to breathe, catch up and get an update posted. It's not that there hasn't been anything to talk about. There's been a lot of … Continue reading That’s Not Rain….

At The End Of The Day
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
I have to start with this. I can't say I love my job. 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! Even with all of the problems that go … Continue reading A Little Help In Small Places
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

I hope the same for all of you. The new job is going well. Retail is difficult enough and this time of year it's always … Continue reading Happy New Year
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
No Sugarcoating
From time to time, it becomes very difficult for me to ... do ... anything. That's where I am, and that's where I've been for quite some time now. I feel stuck. I feel changes coming, and like I can't make a decision about anything because I don't know what's going to happen. I have … Continue reading No Sugarcoating
As The Year Winds Down
This has been an eventful, and sometimes brutal year. For myself, it involved not one, but two job changes, and the passing of a close friend, as well as other friends losing loved ones as well. It's been a year of pain, and a year of growth, but there have been times of beauty, love … Continue reading As The Year Winds Down
