It’s 3:00 pm on a Sunday as I write this. I’m sitting on the couch. My cat is purring next to me. And I’m wrapped up in a sweatshirt blanket in an attempt to keep the icepack on my hip from freezing me to death in the middle of July. I still don’t get why […]
Vintage Different Strokes Collection
My family has taken on the daunting task of cleaning out the basement. In doing so, I stumbled across a few bins of old inventory. What kind of inventory, some of you might be asking… In 2007/2008ish, I started my own business: Different Strokes. I considered myself an artist and I produced a variety of stationary […]
Use me, Lord. Use me.
There are people in this world that have no idea what they have done. The significant role they have played in my life. The way my voice cracks or my eyes tear-up when I think about them. Speak their name. See their picture. These people marked the most painful pieces of my life with kindness. Many will […]
Yesterday Sucked. But Today I Feel Stronger.
I’m not going to say that Monday was the worst day of my life, because I know that’s both untrue and overly dramatic. That being said, it still sucked. A lot. I love my job, but work was rough. The last week or so has been pretty bumpy; nothing is ever easy. Mary says that’s […]
So I Said No.
I’d like to say I’m sorry. But not to you. To myself. I’m sorry. I’m sorry I haven’t written in a while. I’m sorry this page has collected dust. I’m sorry I haven’t updated my plug-ins for a month. I’m sorry I haven’t been around. I got swept up in another whirlwind. My dreams are […]
There Is No Us. There Is No Them.
I don’t usually watch the news. I find that if I turn it on, it’s impossible to turn off. And it’s usually the same thing over and over again. 5 minutes worth of news lasts 3 hours as reporters and anchors tell the same story again and again. It only fuels the fire and causes […]
My “Last Chance”
I’ve talked about it before, but I’m going to talk about it again. Because apparently it’s a big part of my life. You can’t just ignore these things. I’m 4 weeks post-op from hip surgery #7. When people see me on crutches, they’re all like “Wow, you’re a pro!” Thanks. I’ve had a lot of […]
Fighting For Our Lives
I haven’t written in a few weeks. Recovering from this surgery is slow, boring, and depressing. There. I said it. I’ve had no inspiration. Whenever I find myself lacking in inspirational material, I usually try to watch a movie that’s sure to stir some emotions in my heart. So that’s what I did last night. […]
