dreaming pink diamonds
I’ve never really been a girly girl. God knows I’m no tomboy (that would imply being sporty, which I am not) but ribbons, make-up, heels, shopping? eh.
Likewise for jewelry. It’s not that I don’t spoil myself or like the finer things but… spas and five-star hotels are more my weakness than flashy fashions [...]
Independence is the easy part
In college, contemplating and confronting so many things at one – love, feminism, liberty, life — I began my wonderings about independence.
I wrote poetry in bluegreen notebooks:
“ Dependent, from Latin,
meaning: to hang from
So tonight I am wondering:
Do I hang from you? “
Hanging from was not a good thing, I concluded then. I [...]

I haven’t been writing as much lately. Yes, I’ve been busy with work and work and work. Yes, I’ve been trying to learn about some other facets of the internet to grow my blog and make it better, perhaps even profitable.
But also, I’ve been blue. Deep, beautiful, aquamarine blue, in my core.
Home is…
Too cheesy to say “where the heart is” ?
Probably. But it’s true.
I’ve been thinking a lot about home lately. Not just because Nablopomo told me to think about it – it’s their theme for June, but ABOUT home. About where it is, how you know it, how you hold onto it, how [...]

how to be popular
too funny. among other good quotes:
“well, call me next week Jerry.”
“looks like your asking so late went over like a lead balloon.” and finally
“girls who park in cars with boys are never popular. not even with the girls they park with.” poooor jinny. that strumpet.
Yes. I’m discovering [...]
To anon or not to anon, that is the question
I started this blog with the hopes that it would spur my own writing, be a therapeutic and creative outlet, and maybe, maybe inspire one or two other people along the way, or touch them somehow. Besides my mom.
It’s done those things and I’m so, so grateful.
Along the way, though, maybe my journalistic heart or [...]
Meme – a – licious: hitting the interweb big time
My pal, Soupy Meg has tagged ME, yours truly, for a meme.
What the heckily is that? Well, as she so eloquently puts it, a meme is kinda the interweb version of a chain letter. okie, she didn’t say “interweb” but still. Others say it’s like tag – zap! you’re it. But it’s not [...]
The biggest gift
My new friend, Eleni and her husband, are wanting to give. They’re wanting to give big – they’re wanting to give… themselves, to a child who needs them. Below is her letter that asks simply, can you help in any way, big or small, with this giving?
I know mentioning adoption, fertility, babies, spurs emotion [...]
4/365: Amy
4/365: Amy: Freshman orientation, life beyond high school arrived. We shared one laugh and became soul-deep friends. Slept outside the dorm, cried, danced, ate grapes and cookies, sang sad songs. you taught me what joy is.
Part of my 35/365 project. What’s 35/365 or x365? See here.
2/365: Becky
I’m working on my version of the x365 challenge started by Dan Waber on his 40th birthday: write 40 words (no more, no less) every day for a year. I’ve varied it slightly – I’m 35 so I’m writing 35 words. I may not write one per day but I love the concept and will [...]
