Because Relationships are Slippery and Life is Precarious…
I'm certain you don't need me to tell you that relationships are hard. You don't need to hear they are precarious and sometimes the ground between "point A" and "point B" is slippery. If you've ever met another human, you probably already gleaned that from experience. One time, in the dead of winter, my friend and I decided we wanted a treat...
How Many Of Us Are Tired Of Trying To Be Something We Aren’t?
How many of us want to be loved, accepted, and needed for who we are? How many of us are tired of trying to be something we aren't? Oh, friends, sometimes I wish I was more outgoing.

None of it Made Sense…
I was a little bit of a crazy kid, and he matched my insanity. We started out two dramatic young teenagers whose names ended up synonymous before high school graduation, and only two months after I walked Pomp and Circumstance as an eighteen year old girl, I found myself marching to Here Comes The Bride. Now that I've had children, its...
