The choice of no choices

The type of parent I’ve become is almost embarrassing as my spelling.  These past few weeks have rushed past me in a blur, I’ve been busy at work, my life outside of work has picked up.  Meetings, events, gatherings, I have more things on my social calendar now then I did when I was in [...]

Sunday

Even if she is the biggest liar on the planet, I’m so very very lucky to be her mom.

When you start a relationship with a person you really like, you try to keep the cool part of you in view.  You hold back on being moody, having bad breath, being seen with no makeup and any other “real” part of you that you think would possibly turn the other person off.   After having [...]

Amendment to the first part, third paragraph, sixth line

I’m still here, still writing,  still taking self-portraits just really busy.
Found this on a walk by a ravine. A ravine where lots of people are known to shoot up and homeless people live. I’m curious of who this little boy is and where he is now.
I’ve also decided to find [...]
