It is easy to say, “I wish…” It is easy to dream, of things you want to accomplish or own. Life is about wishing and dreaming as much as it is about doing. The trick is to not stop at the wishing part and continue on to the doing part of the process.

Tired…so Tired
I am so tired. I am tired of grand events, parties, drinking Mojito’s on the beach, shopping for the perfect pair of shoes, sitting in the cafe’ writing the next big thing, watching the sunset over Key West with my girls and…oh wait that is not my life. I go to work every day andContinue reading “Tired…so Tired”
Deep Trust
Who do you trust? It’s easy to say, “I trust you”, do you really though? What does that mean? The trust I have for coworkers and friends is different from the trust I have for my children. The trust I have for my children is different from the trust I have for my husband. IContinue reading “Deep Trust”
Hey you…
Yes you, sitting there scrolling and scrolling down whatever social media is your time killer of choice. What are you doing with your time? Where is your life headed? Do you want to sit there day after day, hour after hour, looking at memes, reading whiny posts from your depressed friends who are sitting thereContinue reading “Hey you…”
Silent No More

I Said it
She grabs the soapbox. She steps up…to the mic and begins. Can you hear that? Listen to the sounds. The noise. It is the sound of life as we know it falling down around us. We are no longer safe in our own homes. We can’t go to the store without worrying if we willContinue reading “I Said it”
One Day I Will Be Her

I get so disgusted when I go shopping for clothes that are supposed to fit me and my curves. I look atContinue reading “One Day I Will Be Her”
Luck Means Nothing
If a circus performer wanted to be sure he or she would have good luck during a performance, they would keep the hair of an elephant’s tail in their pocket. When good things happen or things work out for us we say we are lucky. I recently went to the doctor about my aching knee.Continue reading “Luck Means Nothing”
Nothing Tastes That Good
Why even one bit of that forbidden thing is never worth it. I hear or rather read in support groups and in weight loss articles about how one bit of, let’s say mile-high chocolate pie, is worth it. For, me a recovering food addict, one bite of that thing I have sworn off will justContinue reading “Nothing Tastes That Good”
Not All Women Have a Best Friend
When you put all you have into your BFF relationship and it fails, how do you move on? In middle and high school, we are taught by other girls in life, we’re required to have a best friend. We are told that even if we do something horrible, our best friend will be by our side.Continue reading “Not All Women Have a Best Friend”
