I'm a little late to the blogging world but in case you haven't heard, the holidays have come and gone. I'm not going to repeat what everyone else has said about how they slowed down for the holidays and enjoyed special moments with their kids, because we did and it was wonderful and the older [...]

Getting Comfortable
I remember the days when writing was my crutch, my life support, and my way to make it through the day. The words would pour out of my fingers and it was absolutely healing. I really needed it in those days. Soon days turned to weeks, then to months and now that has turned to years, [...]
Removing the Noise
The husband and I just returned from 7 days in Aruba at an all-inclusive resort. Some shake their heads at me for all-inclusive but to me it means I don't pick up a damn thing in my room, I don't worry about money, I don't pay for anything, I can fall asleep in the middle [...]

Triggers
When I went through my divorce 6 (6!) years ago, I fully dealt with it. I can say that I look back now and I just don't know that person. I don't know that wife, that person who signed divorce papers, the person that cried a lot of tears and went through a lot of [...]
