Today, I’m sitting here at the kitchen table. Still using the FIVE BELOW keyboard. The house is in disarray and I’m unemployed. Yet…I can’t help but to smile. The patio door is open, and it just recently rained. The outside world has this amazing smell about it. I can hear the orchestra of different birds … Continue reading Sometimes You Just Gotta Quit Your Job

How Long Do You Grieve?
Forever, that's the short answer. I started writing this in January of 2023. I’ve had to take long breaks in between writing it. It is probably my longest post. It finally happened. After years of anxiety and fear wrapped around the mere thought of losing my grandmother, she passed away. September 11th of this 2022, … Continue reading How Long Do You Grieve?
When is it OK to Die?
“No matter what you do in this life, you’ll never make it out alive.” I think, whether we choose to acknowledge it or ignore it, on some level we understand that we are going to die some day. It is a fact. Some people may be facing death right now, having been told they only … Continue reading When is it OK to Die?
The Great Flood of 2022
So this morning around 3am we awoke to the sounds of a massive thunderstorm in our area. We live on the third floor of our apartment building with vaulted ceilings so thunder always sounds a little amplified and this was BIG THUNDER MOUNTAIN energy outside. Shortly after falling back asleep we had the EMERGENCY ALERT … Continue reading The Great Flood of 2022

The Stag Moon is called as such because of the fact that it is in the month where … Continue reading The Full Stag Moon
An In-depth Update
Having all this free time really leads to a lot of boredom. I was able to go back and read a few of my older posts. I can’t believe that I really hadn’t written anything here since 2020. Now we are a full two years out from that and my how the world has changed. … Continue reading An In-depth Update
Communication and Feelings
There are life lessons that I'm very lucky to have learned early on in my life. There are certain things that people older than me don't seem to have a firm grasp on. One thing that I've learned that has helped me immensely in all of my relationships can be boiled down to one single … Continue reading Communication and Feelings
Synchronicity Strikes back
A few month's ago I wrote about a night at a friends house where things seemed to be syncing up a little too much. I'm having another moment like that! Einstein said "A coincidence is God's way of staying anonymous." I can't help but feel this way. I've been on my butterfly tangent as of … Continue reading Synchronicity Strikes back
Coming Out
I've been out openly as a homosexual since my teenage years. I was lucky enough that I didn't have to fear my family taking it poorly. I didn't think they'd abandon me or kick me out, the worse I thought was that it would make things slightly uncomfortable for some of us. I came out … Continue reading Coming Out

It's based on the true story of how Julie Powell turned her love of Julia Child and cooking into a successful blog … Continue reading Why do I write?

Working in a nursing home is both a curse and a blessing some times. Yesterday was a bit of an emotional roller coaster. One of my residents that I was very close with passed away. When I got to work one of my coworkers told me:"M_____ is gone."I was confused at first, "Where'd she go?" … Continue reading The Book of Life
Alzheimer’s and Grief
You don't know it's the last time until after it's already gone. When I was little, my grandmother would tell me that she had nights where she couldn't sleep. Her mind would race and she would think about people late at night. I was too little to understand the concept then. Now, I find myself … Continue reading Alzheimer’s and Grief
