I surf Pinterest in between sips of coffee. My ‘quote habit’ sucks me in. I reserve this addiction for the same space I save animal videos. Why? I usually can’t stop myself from looking. I am a writer with writer obsessions, things like pens and pretty paper. In fact, REALLY pretty pens make me as…

I am a bit nervous this morning. I am on the way to meet a friend. We have a few too many, obvious parallels and instead of feeling this is helpful it makes me sad. I never, ever, want to see a heart hurt again. Let alone one that would have never had the courage…

I am in my car. I am lost in thought as I listen to Sara Evan’s song, “I Get A Little Bit Stronger.” It is a song that is an ode to healing little by little after a lost relationship. Today there are no tears like these songs usually drag out of me. It could…

“When she transformed into a butterfly, the caterpillars spoke not of her beauty, but of her weirdness. They wanted her to change back into what she had always been. But she had wings.” – Dean Jackson “The things that make me different are the things that make me.” – Winnie the Pooh “Today you are…

It is late. I fidget as I try to fall asleep..picking up my phone here and there. This is my new routine. This is what the stress of divorce has done to my nights. A text pops up. I read it and tell myself not to cry. It’s not a bad text. It’s actually a…

“Adversity is like a strong wind. It tears away from us all but the things that cannot be torn, so that we see ourselves as we really are.” – Arthur Golden “Don’t let what you thought you were yesterday keep you from becoming what you’re meant to be today.” – Vironika Tugaleva “My burden is…
