Throughout the days of my life, occasionally I get flashes of brilliant thought. Once in a while, I write them down to remember them. Other times I hope I’ll remember them, but I often forget them. But today, I want to share just the randomness of some of these thoughts. They may be brilliant little…
2022 Is In The Books
It’s the end of 2022! Finally, the end of the year again. Usually, I have my last post of the year published before the last day of the year. This year I’m running behind schedule. To say 2022 has been an unusual year would be a severe understatement. I can’t say anything has been “life…
Where Are You, Christmas?
Christmas isn’t just a holiday. Christmas is a living, breathing emotion. But, as such, it’s dying. There has always been a special feeling around Christmas time. People were friendlier, kinder, and more generous around the holiday season. There was a different feeling in the air, and it wasn’t from the cooler temperatures. Originally, Christmas was…
Boundaries and Social Media
In the past few days, I’ve had conversations with different people about boundaries. It made me realize how many people don’t know how to set or maintain healthy boundaries. (Or even realize they have a right to set them!) I feel that learning to set boundaries should be actively taught when children are young. However,…
Don’t Leave! I Have Abandonment Issues!

Who Is Your Enemy? (Division in America)
Who is your enemy? How do you define the enemy? I think as a nation we need to answer these questions and reevaluate ourselves as a country. We call ourselves the “United” States of America, but it feels like those words are empty now. As an empath, I can feel the emotions of not only…
Comparisons
Throughout our life we find ourselves making comparisons between our lives and others. This is normal human behavior. We can use the comparison in a healthy way or a harmful one. As a child, we usually have a few idols. In most cases, one or both of our parents are our first idols. And as…

The Rope Of Our Lives
A recent breakup in my life made me realize that life is like a rope. Each different strand of the rope adds to the strength of the whole. Just as each area of our life makes it all complete. This last week I had to close the door on a special friendship I never thought…
The Good Times
I’ve been a writer for as long as I can remember. I wrote my first poem in grade school and fell in love with poetry. I sat in front of a typewriter free writing since my dad allowed me to “play” on his Royal. But, I just realized I seldom write during the good times….
