The Holiday Season can be rough even for the best of us. Some are grieving the loss of a loved one, some don’t get along with their family, some don’t have the money to give the gifts they would like. I recall a couple Christmases as a single mom with no family dinner, nor giftsContinue reading “The Feels”

Love is Love
Love. Something we cannot live without. We desire to give and receive love- on many levels, not just romantic. It’s basic human instinct and is vital for our soul and emotional health to thrive just as oxygen and food and water are necessary for our physical body. Why, then, is love so hard? Why can’tContinue reading “Love is Love”
Strong Women Haters
This is a touchy subject for me. Growing up I was called “stubborn”, “defiant”, “moody”, a “bitch”, “opinionated” – I never seemed to go along or get along in the family as the only girl with two brothers being raised by my father. For twenty years my father used all his Army Reserve Psychological OpsContinue reading “Strong Women Haters”
Fear Energy
If there is a silver lining at all to the 2016 American Election Cycle is that we have very visible proof of what what happens when an entire nation is frozen in fear.

Life is Short
I’m creeping up on the 5-0 and will reach that milestone in a couple years. On my latest birthday I got to thinking about just how different 50 is to my generation than what it was to the boomers. At my age, my mom was a grandmother (though she looked so young) and had lessContinue reading “Life is Short”
Mothers and Sons
Show me a mother with a son and I will show you woman trying very hard to raise a man who treats women well, is responsible, hard working and a person who will make a fine husband and father one day. Not in all cases, but my experience is that this is what we wantContinue reading “Mothers and Sons”
Mothers and Daughters
It would take a book to discuss all the complexities involved in mother-daughter relationships and I sure don’t have it all figured out from either the daughter or the mother perspectives. I was separated from my own mom at a young age. When I finally got to live with her again I was a 17Continue reading “Mothers and Daughters”
