• Comparison and Contrast: Good vs “Bad Guys” 
    Comparison and Contrast: Good vs “Bad Guys”  The title of this blog sounds like a college paper. However, I think comparison and contrast is a valuable life skill and can be applied to any area of life. These days the media is full of stories about sexual abuse, harassment and sexism. Hundreds of men […]
• Hearing
  Hearing   I am imprisoned in silence Your insecurities The prison guard I utter wordless screams But you do not listen   What I have to say matters You won’t you listen My thoughts are vast and deep My heart cries out Desperate for you                                                                        To listen Wisdom falls from my teeth I am […]
• The Storie(s) I didn’t Intend to Write
    Sometimes I look back at my life and think where along the line did I hop on a train with a drunk conductor? I thought I had my story mostly figured out since I was a small child. I wanted to travel and I wanted to have a career. I did exactly that, traveled the […]
• Musings
      Brutally honest and open musings. No hiding or pretending. But despite the darkness, there is hope. There is light and I am onward and upward.     Freedom begets more questions Self-trust   Tears, oh so many tears. When will they stop? Even with no liquid left in my body; my heart is […]

• Waiting
  Where are you? I’ve been waiting My soul supplicating the universe Generations have come and passed Remember the little market we had on the street corner? The hustle and bustle of our neighbors? Scurrying to and fro on the cobble stone streets The love we shared in our tiny apartment above the shop The love […]
• On Memories
    I sit cross-legged in the dirt A little girl and grown all at once There is a fire before me The flames tell me nothing No truth in them Just the heat warming the tears on my face Smoke drifts upwards from the flames My dreams of us, my love for you up in […]
• The Letter
  Today,  I pulled out a letter encased in a thin yellow envelope, and with shaking hands I read it, though not for the first time, for by now it’s faded and worn. Written in royal blue ink, it’s pages are slightly wrinkled at the edges. “My beautiful, beautiful baby,” it says. The post The Letter […]
• The Recipe
  When I cook, I use recipes as guidelines. I read two to three recipes on the same concept and then wing it. Kind of like my life, I seek out advice and wisdom and then usually say “YOLO” as I wing it my way. However, some recipes should not be “winged.” At eight years old […]
