I wrote this poem 25 years ago. I was 17 years old. I titled it “When Weakness Wins”. The pretty little flower sat alone in the sun. There were no others like her, she was the only one. She was “perfect” in all the ways, except for this one petal that just wouldn’t stay. At… Continue reading Throw Back Thursday.. February 2001

What Lies Beneath Us
I’m floating on the surface of the lake with you. In an old, and tattered boat. It’s got plugs where holes once were, and we can’t pull the anchors up so every inch we move forward is sluggish and tainted with an equal pull backwards. It really is beautiful up here though. The sun is… Continue reading What Lies Beneath Us
To Be Read..
It feels like today should be a Friday the 13th and not a Wednesday. Everything feels dark and foreboding. Like a devastating storm secretly waits on the horizon, hidden by the lie of the sun on my face. My heart feels heavy today. Like it doesn’t belong in my body, it carries too much for… Continue reading To Be Read..
What Motherhood Means To Me
I haven't written for the past few days because the only thing weighing on my heart is my mother. I found myself wrestling with the thought of whether it seems pathetic to have a blog meant for sharing my thoughts on anything under the sun, yet here I am, compelled to write about her time… Continue reading What Motherhood Means To Me

Written in 2017, revisiting it fills me with a bittersweet ache for the woman I once was. On the surface, I… Continue reading Throw Back Thursday (on a Friday!): Warpaint (1/10/2017)
Throw Back Thursday (When The Storm Comes 11/15/2016)
For this reflection post, I thought it was time to take a fresh look at this blog I wrote about my rocky relationship with my mom—or maybe more accurately, the huge void where that relationship should be. I wish I could look back at this 2016 post and say that everything’s changed, but honestly, that’s… Continue reading Throw Back Thursday (When The Storm Comes 11/15/2016)
God Does Bless The Broken Roads!
Have you ever wished you could go back and talk to your younger self? Like, maybe your 20-something self? Just to say, ‘Hey, hang on, it gets better!’ I’ve thought about it a lot. I felt so lost during those years of my life. I often hear people say that their twenties were the best… Continue reading God Does Bless The Broken Roads!
A Time To Speak
Here I embark on my writing journey once more, determined to create a successful blog. Years ago, I had cultivated a rewarding blog page that garnered several followers and allowed me to share my life experiences with a wider audience. However, I felt compelled to abandon that page. I had delved into my childhood, recounting… Continue reading A Time To Speak
