My apartment is safe, I’m not being watched. This isn’t a case of paranoia so much as an awareness of just how under-observation we are anytime we’re out there in the world. In my apartment, though, I’m free to be unapologetically me without interruption. In my apartment the window is cracked, snow blowing in andContinue reading “Poetry Series – My World”

Poetry Series – Best Day
I don’t believe our best day is ever in the past. I think it’s already happening. Right now, we’re living the best day we possibly can – and if you’re not, now is as good of a time as any to start. Right now, this is the only day we have so it must beContinue reading “Poetry Series – Best Day”
Poetry Series – Chicken Butt
Some things become outgrown, over-used. I don’t know if this happens by chance, length of time, frequency of occurrence, or what other criteria it goes by. Perhaps with a little extra care, we can preserve the things most important to us longer than they would have lasted if we had approached with reckless abandon –Continue reading “Poetry Series – Chicken Butt”
Poetry Series – Magic Portal
I was an imaginative child, sometimes in a way that was shunned. Now, I’m an imaginative adult and I’m finally letting all of the conditioning come undone. Step into your magic, lean into yourself.

Poetry Series – “Kiss Me” Cookie
I find such great irony in the fact that we both have said we don’t pick up on something unless it’s – BAM!! – right in our faces, yet we both show love in the most subtle of ways. I’ll never forget the time my Aunt asked if we have our own little language goingContinue reading “Poetry Series – “Kiss Me” Cookie”
Poetry Series – Dream Girl
Yesterday my son walked into the kitchen and said “Mom, do you ever know things and you don’t know how but you are really sure about them and then they come true?”. Yes baby, absolutely. All the time, actually. I took the opportunity to explain to him that I think if we stay open toContinue reading “Poetry Series – Dream Girl”
Poetry Series – Gomez
I get just about zero of my boyfriend’s references to movie quotes, shows, but I love that it never deters him from making them and trying to explain what he’s referring to. Having a kid early took up most of my time to watch anything but cartoons and the movies I have seen only lingerContinue reading “Poetry Series – Gomez”
Poetry Series – Free Eater
I’ve struggled with disordered eating, a lot more seriously than I’d like to admit, over the better part of my teenage and adult life. The thing is when we don’t feel like we have control over most of our lives we’re willing to grasp for anything to take control of, even if it destroys us.Continue reading “Poetry Series – Free Eater”
Poetry Series – Gamble
Gambling has played a funny role in my life. I’ve never been one for sports betting, mostly because I don’t know sports, but I’ve taken a chance on just about everything else presented to me in life. Sometimes the payoff was beyond what I could imagine. Other times I’ve faced great losses, learned things theContinue reading “Poetry Series – Gamble”
Poetry Series – Drunken Love Confessions
If you’re on the brink of giving up hope on love, I’ve been there. I don’t think we should ever give up hope on anything, though. What’s missing will be found in the last place you look and so often we find things when we stop looking. Maybe it’s okay to keep hope but toContinue reading “Poetry Series – Drunken Love Confessions”
