Sometimes silence is louder. Sometimes the inconvenience is worth it. Sometimes we have to be reminded that we're lovable. Sometimes we have to remind someone else they're loved. Sometimes we should remember that it's not our intention, but the perception of our actions and words that determine the response. Run your filters. Be good… Continue reading We are the world…
I always feel like somebody’s watching me…
I saw this meme on Facebook. Image from Facebook and Google Images Ouch. I call bull. Very few people are the same online as they are in person. Do you know why? Because some of us use Facebook for its original intended purposes. To keep in touch and enrich each other’s lives. Sure, we have… Continue reading I always feel like somebody’s watching me…
Count on me…
So my first day in Grad school didn't go quite as planned. I got to my class, took out my materials and waited for the professor. As I was wondering where he (the professor) was, I got a text from a strange number on my phone. It was Carter. He was at the train station… Continue reading Count on me…
I gotta go back, back, back to school again….
It’s that time of year! YAY SCHOOL! Hey, wait! Where are you going? I'm sorry. I can't help it. It's just that I have always loved going back to school. (Truth be told, I didn’t like leaving it June!) The smell of my new plastic My Little Pony lunchbox with my matching book bag. Picking… Continue reading I gotta go back, back, back to school again….
Into the woods to Grandmother’s house…
I know I’ve been away for a while but I’ve been enjoying life. And working. Fussing with teenagers, setting up a house (I know…a never ending project) and welcoming a new grandson. “Gibbs”, as our grandson is affectionately referred to in our house (because his name is Jethro) arrived early August. The plan was for… Continue reading Into the woods to Grandmother’s house…
I see your true colors…
Omagosh, y’all. Today…I was THAT GIRL. I was so embarrassed; I thought the only thing to do was call myself out on it. You know which girl, right? The judgey one who is always talking about how not judgey she is. I saw a girl walking about with an ankle monitor on. I thought to… Continue reading I see your true colors…
Measure in love…
“Five hundred, twenty-five thousand, six hundred minutes… Five hundred, twenty-five thousand moments so dear… Five hundred, twenty-five thousand, six hundred minutes… How do you measure, measure a year?” It seems that since December 8th in 2016, I can listen to this song every day and tell you why that day is another milestone. I know… Continue reading Measure in love…
What time is it?! SUMMERTIME!
Ladies and Gents, now that we’ve had our unofficial summer kickoff weekend (Memorial Day), let’s talk about the elephant in the room: beach bodies. “Beach body” is a made up term we use for the way we want our bodies to look during the warmer months when we don less clothing. I have something to… Continue reading What time is it?! SUMMERTIME!
Proud to be an American…

When will my life begin?
Hey there! I'm back. Whoo-wee, there has been a bevy of activity lately! My students had their end of the year banquet. It was tear-filled but over flowing with laughter. It was a good time. Let’s see….I graduated with my bachelor’s degree. (Technically, I graduated last summer but the ceremony was last week. I didn't… Continue reading When will my life begin?
