Comfort

 

Photo Friday, comfort. One person resonates comfort in my life and that’s my mother. Even though she drives me crazy most of the time, I know that after all of life’s trials going to my mom and having her hug me is the most comforting thing on the planet. I can only [...]

Tony Robbins in utero

Pregnancy for me, brought a lot of crazy emotions to the forefront, mostly about myself and who I was, what type of mother did I want to be and what kind of person I wanted to be.  These thoughts started my journey of self-actualization.  As I have mentioned before I LOVE self-help books, most of [...]

And they say it couldn’t be done

Have you ever tried correcting a child’s unwanted behavior and it worked?! Dude, it can happen and not just in those super-parentbaby books.
As I mentioned in my previous post that Maggie was whining so much that jumping off a bridge or eating my own feet seemed not only like a viable option, but downright heavenly. [...]

Some days I need to go back where I came from.

I had a weekend where the every word out of my child’s mouth was in the tune of a skin crawling whine. On Saturday our trip to Target was full of tears and being carried with an arm load of crap (because in my head if I didn’t get a cart, I wouldn’t buy too [...]

I think I’ve found the solution to world peace

First I need a small disclaimer, I do not smoke pot before going to bed and yes this is an actual dream I had. 
The other night I woke up from the strangest dream.  I notice when I travel or am under a bit of pressure, my dreams are very vivid and odd.  Like really [...]

They say it’s the latest spa treatment

When I returned from my trip, it was like Maggie didn’t even know I was gone. That is until I reminded her I brought presents. You see prior to me leaving I tried to explain to Maggie that I was going on a trip and she started to get really upset, I panicked about the [...]

The Stars at night….

I’ve internally debating the past few days to pick up where my story left off last week. It made me sit down and think, think about what I learned, what I would get out of writing it and if I had anything to offer in retelling it (which by the way I never retell the [...]

Where were you?

That question I avoid like the plague.  Where we you on Sept. 11, 2001?  I try not think about where I was that day and what I was doing or how it all played out, but I can’t escape it.  It’s become part of me.
In 2001 I lived in Brooklyn and worked in NYC, Harlem.  [...]

Really quick

This morning as I woke up completely groggy and tired, I walk into Starbucks order a Venti Vanilla Latte and chat with the workers about being so tired. As we wrap up our conversation the Barista said “Well it’s Monday” & while yes it is indeed Monday, all I could say is “it [...]
