I sit in bed writing this with sleepy eyes, sipping coffee I screwed up and made too weak. I’m particularly tired because I’ve been up for hours after my sleep was unexpectedly interrupted. My sleep is frequently interrupted by an 80lb German Shepard who likes to be let out for a pee in the middleContinue reading “Bad Motives of a motherless child…”

Keeping it real …To fill or not to fill ??
I go through this thing every winter for the last few years now where I become fixated on the signs of aging I see on my face. Winter settles in, as do the deeper lines, and I think to myself maybe it’s time to do something about it. I begin looking into fillers, or maybeContinue reading “Keeping it real …To fill or not to fill ??”
A year in the life of…
Now that I am shaking off my case of writers block, or returning from sabbatical, however I feel like framing this non writing time frame, I can’t help but feel that one of the biggest missed opportunities is not to have written any type of assessment at all on the changing of the year. NoContinue reading “A year in the life of…”
Love Floats ❤️
I didn’t always love boats. Just the opposite really…For a long time I hated them! Well maybe not them, but certainly the feelings they evoked. My very first boating experience was with a group of drunken adults, who even at my tender toddler age I knew were not fit to be keeping me safe. PerhapsContinue reading “Love Floats ❤️”
Nothing quite like a Mother’s love …A slightly different kind of story about a Mom 🖤
Squeezing between bodies as I made my way to the back of the bar, I brushed up against a tall lean figure standing with his back to me. He turned in my direction and as I glanced up I found myself locked into the wild eyed stare of an infamous local legend. I stumbled allContinue reading “Nothing quite like a Mother’s love …A slightly different kind of story about a Mom 🖤”
🌕 Moonbeams✨Mythes & Madness 💫
I sit in the darkness of my yard. I’m grateful for the warmer air, especially since I fled the house with no coat. The rhythmic hooting of a nearby owl calms me. I am struggling to regain my composure, to slow down my racing thoughts. I want to disappear into the night but the fullContinue reading “🌕 Moonbeams✨Mythes & Madness 💫”
This is not about my mother …oh wait, everything’s about my mother….
I just received an alert reminding me that my annual payment was coming due for my website. It’s been a year. And what a year it has been!! I love acknowledging year anniversaries. I do it constantly. I’m obsessed with all things full circle and enjoy the opportunity to reflect on where I am asContinue reading “This is not about my mother …oh wait, everything’s about my mother….”
2020 Survivors
I know we’re all basically feeling like we should get an “I survived 2020” tee for making it through this year < wow that sounded more clever in my head, seeing it in print I’m confronted with the thought of just how many did not. We lost (and still are losing) astronomical numbers of peopleContinue reading “2020 Survivors”
Somewhere in between the dark and the light…
It has been in my nature for a while now to reference the dark vs light quite a bit. I suppose I use it literally, biblically, figuratively, metaphorically, metaphysically…you know, all of the above. I just really like that whole light/dark vibe…I see where it is applicable in so many situations, but if this pastContinue reading “Somewhere in between the dark and the light…”
That one time I married a monster…
I made him a Long Island Ice Tea and he went home and told his mother he was going to marry the bartender. It was my first summer as a full time resident of the small east end community I had visited frequently in my youth. As for this Long Island Ice Tea drinking customer,Continue reading “That one time I married a monster…”
