A Love Note to Crying

Honesty moment- I. LOVE. CRYING. I did just say that, yes. In all fairness, I don’t always love the reason for my tears (painful things aren’t necessarily what I call ‘fun’ or ‘fantastic’), but I love crying. The fact that the human body has the capability to create tears in the first place, completely fascinates … Continue reading →

Dysfunction to Function

Dysfunction is ok. Dysfunction is good to an extent (yes it is-promise!). To what extent is subjective and isn’t really the focus here. What’s important is that we remember that dysfunction exists. We all experience it. We’re all in it together. It’s easy to love the things you love. It’s easy to love the parts … Continue reading →

Marry Thyself

A few years ago, I watched a Lifetime movie (if you’re judging, you can kindly quit that right now! I know you’ve watched some questionable footage in your day..) about a woman who married herself. I could not have thought this idea was more ridiculous. I mean, the woman had a ceremony and everything. She … Continue reading →

Sometimes I Don’t Get Poetry…Until I Do.

Poetry is beautiful, weird, frustrating, fun, sweet, and a billion other things. I have to admit that, all too often when it comes to poetry, I’m what you could painfully honestly call ‘dense’. Many times I just. don’t. get it. I can’t say for certain if this is by choice or by some inept neurons … Continue reading →

Dream Crushers Are Helpers Too.

  “When people undermine your dreams, predict your doom or criticize you, remember they’re telling you their story, not yours.”  ~Cynthia Occelli   Who was the last person to crush some dream of yours?

Tales of the Musical Maven Omnipotent Queen Part 2

I know you’ve all been in physical pain waiting for this conclusion to my concert weekend. Ok, well, I truly hope no pain at all, but if you were constantly rolling this around in your brain, on the edge of your seat trying to figure out what happened, then that’s plenty fine. 😉 No more … Continue reading →

Tales of the Musical Maven Omnipotent Queen Part 1

I have returned and recovered from the epicness of last weekend that was Mixtape Festival. SO many great concerts, laughs, squeals, and music-gasms (yes, I did just use that term) were had. Today’s post is just about the glory of Friday night, or the Track Suit & Kelly Clarkson special, as I’ll call it. My … Continue reading →

Back to School Time. Now Where’s That Hottie?

Every year around back-to-school time, I get a hearty mix of ‘H-E-double-hockey-stick-yeah, I don’t have to do that anymore!’ and ‘oh, school, you were so good to me…’. I miss buying those beloved school supplies. (I am absolutely obsessed with office supplies, btw. Give me a fabulous bright colored patterned notebook, some mechanical pencils, and … Continue reading →

My Double-Dutch DREAM Team

Truth be told, I’m not super fantastic at double-dutch. That’s not because of the other folks involved, it’s just a result of me struggling with two ropes whirling at me at the same time…Needless to say, I won’t ever be on an Olympic double-dutch team should they decide to start that sort of thing. Dreams … Continue reading →
