Hi You, Haven’t posted in a long time. Haven’t felt comfortable enough to post what I want. Haven’t felt like myself emotionally in a long time. So, what I do, I hide. Hibernate. As someone said yesterday to me, “when you’re hurting, you run away and lick your wounds, like an injured dog.” Well, ifContinue reading “January 1, 2024”

Hello You, I read something yesterday morning before going to work; I thought, “awe, exactly!” It’s not about how much, it’s about what’s behind what we give. Love. Well, this message hit me square in the face. At work, I talk to people all day, every day. Some conversations are quick, easy, some challenging, othersContinue reading “March 10, 2023”

Hello You, I started this program, Storyworth. They send you a question a week, you can answer as many or as little, as slow or as fast as you’d like. At the end of the year, they compile all the questions into a book. A book of your tales. So here goes nothing…Question 1…How didContinue reading “February 19, 2023”

Hi You, B, a letter just for you… You know I’m an over thinker, I’m working on it, and conversations stay with me. What we talk about resonates in me. I’ve told you before you make me want to be a better person inside. To be a better human for me, you, your girls, andContinue reading “October 12, 2022”

Hello You, Last night, B asked me something, a question that honestly surprised me to hear come from him. Even though it took me back, there was no hesitation. I answered, “No.” It’s a hard no. I cannot fathom the idea. I won’t say what it was as it is private to the both ofContinue reading “September 22, 2022”

Hello You, Ok, so maybe I should be asking the question, “Is the universe a friendly Universe”, after I’ve had coffee in the morning. Or maybe I should be taking a breath first before I start my day. I keep missing the buck sometimes. And it seems as though it falls to one person. How?Continue reading “September 18, 2022”

Hi You, Do you believe in the Universe, and that what you put out into it comes back twofold to you? Lately, I’ve been feeling lost. I suppose the word lately is an understatement. It’s been months, ok, years in the making. Again. I won’t go into the whole story now, that’s another letter ofContinue reading “September 17, 2022”

Hello You, This morning I walked my normal weekend route, which usually always brings peace to my mind and body. It’s something I look forward to all week. When I’m there I write, I breathe, I let the week go. But, today felt different. Today, my mind was racing. My belly was nervous. Why? WhatContinue reading “December 11, 2021”

Hi You, It’s my moms birthday in a couple days, and I never know what to get her. There have been few and far between moments where I have found something that I thought she would like. Or, what I thought was the perfect gift. Gift giving has always held this love hate feeling insideContinue reading “November 28, 2021”

Hello You, J is baking. I’m writing. And I couldn’t be more content at this very moment. There are few places that feel like home. Safe places. Places that when I think about being, whether I’ve visited or not, they feel warm. Cozy. Happy. I was in a conversation with my friend P yesterday, someoneContinue reading “November 20, 2021”
