This is the year I stop overanalyzing myself. My weight, my appearance, my worries, and my fears. This is the year I “Go with the Flow” and do it with Grace and self-love. So wherever you are in age, love yourself first! ❤️ After all, we must love ourselves first; so we can love others […]

Good morning, come on in. My husband is still sleeping but I am up and just finishing my first cup of espresso. Would you like one? Perhaps some tea? I can make you some regular coffee as well, just give me a minute to dig out the coffee pot. Oh, I don’t have creamer just […]

So I just walked into one of those undercover coffee cafes. ☕️ I walked in, realizing that after all the black glass doors and windows, I might not belong here. As about eight men are staring at me, I walk up to the counter to order, hopefully not my last cup of coffee. At this… Continue reading Killer cafe’

 The other day I heard a song I hadn’t heard in a while. Miranda Lamberts The house that built me. I’ve included the link and lyrics for you below. My daughter at the age of 16/17 always asked me to listen to it, I knew what the gist of the song was about, although the […]

Once my husband went to bed; I needed a few moments by myself, completely alone. I didn’t want to stay up and watch endless TV for hours, so I shut it off and leaned back into my couch and let the weed kick in. It was a nice day that turned to shit: planning an… Continue reading When the Light Enters You. ~ An homage to Omid Safi

Some days are just plain boring. Same routine, same schedule same agenda. Some days go by so fast that you can’t remember what you ate for lunch. Then some days last longer than a week. The days you keep checking the time to see whether or not fifteen minutes have passed rather than the hour… Continue reading Some days are just harder than others.

My husband and I just finished the two part series on “AKA Charlie Sheen” documentary. I have to say I haven’t been able to find a stronger word than ‘Profound’ to cover it.
