How are you? Fine.How's work? Fine. How's your marriage? Fine. How are your friendships going? Fine. Photo by Monstera on Pexels.com Do you sense a theme? I do. I say fine when I can't find the words that really tell my story. I haven't opened up to many people...and what I did share was only …

the end is here
The end of 2021 is here. There were definitely times this year that I wasn’t sure if I would make it through to see 2022, let alone who would be by my side. This year has had its ups and downs. It can be hard to remember the good when it seems like all that …
are you happy yet
A couple of days before Christmas, I posted on my Facebook page a message along with a picture that said I was trying to be real. I was trying to put it out there, that no matter how much society tells us to be happy, that I just couldn't. I know that many people had …
cheating
Photo by RODNAE Productions on Pexels.com I personally think that there are more people that have dealt with infidelity in a relationship than we think. It's "easy" to come out with infidelity when you are the one "wronged" and you choose to end the relationship. But what about those of us who have stayed in …
maybe it’s time for goodbye
I've been on the fence about writing this post all day...partly because I know that if certain friends read it, they are going to know who I'm talking about even if I were to leave names out. But at the same time, I have found that if there is something that is on my mind …

rollercoasters are not my thing
Change. It's inevitable. I know it's coming. I know that I can't stop it. That doesn't make it any easier. Even good changes can be hard. That doesn't mean that I necessarily fear them...quite the opposite, sometimes, change can be thrilling and exciting. I feel uncertain. With the uncertainty comes questions and this unsettling feeling …
through my eyes
Do you have anyone in your life that you look at and you see who they really are? Not just the physical side, but you see them? There is something special about seeing a friend for who they really are. My BFF is going through some hard times lately...feeling angry, sad, guilty, and unworthy. But …
margaret
I met Margaret in the summer of 2006…shortly after hubby and I had officially started dating. She was married to his best friend. She was a new kind of friend to me. I don’t know how to explain it, but our friendship was different. We came from two completely different backgrounds – stable versus unstable …
thankful for them
My kids started school today. 5th grade and 3rd grade. I’m not exactly sure when they grew up enough for them to be this age. I swear I haven’t aged that much. There are days when being a parent is really fucking hard…where you can’t help but wonder why you thought having a family was …
