This is a more general category, it more than likely will be something that I am personally attached to or affected by.
Confidence is a funny thing…. I have more than my share of it. I have taken great risks in various parts of my life, some have failed miserably whereas others panned out to a ‘t’ yet, when it comes to other people…. I am not going to say that my…
It should be nearly impossible not to like who you are…. I make no assumptions that I am perfect; however, I wake up each morning happy, excited and ready for just about anything that may come my way. I do this because the possibility of not waking up is always…
Anything new causes some sort of ‘adjustment’ period, whether it’s a new pair of jeans, a career or even a vehicle… there’s a period in which you are learning. For instance a new pair of jeans can be a rewarding or horrific experience, depending on the size. It’s not necessarily…
Throughout the years I had always loved dogs, but, apartment living simply did not allow the type of dog that I wanted. I wanted an English Mastiff, Newfoundland, Great Dane something along those lines.. until I met “Toke” – a brindle, pit bull chained to a tree. When I would…
I really enjoy writing this blog, I do. I have made some wonderful friends, opened myself up to whoever may come across and in truth have learned a great deal about who I am; however, I have no desire to write much about Mr. Cute here. I am finding myself…
Throughout my childhood I can remember family vacations to Breezy Point Resort… we would load up in the car and make the trip. Never did we experience a vacation like the Griswold’s; however, we still had our moments. I know that we stopped in Royalton, MN at Treasure City, I…
My blog post schedule is similar to that of airplane arrivals…. some are delayed, in other words, they were started and parked in the DRAFT area, whereas others are dead-on-balls-accurate (it’s an industry term, My Cousin Vinny)… yet, some posts are early, in other words they were premature thoughts, experiences…
I’ve thought a lot about 3 little words and the huge expectation that typically follows. I have said I love you to many people… My Parents, My Son, My Best Friend and never once do I wait and/or tap my finger for a reply. I already know that they love…
I have been keeping things a little on the hush-hush side about someone quite delightful…. as I’ve stated before this blog originated as an avenue where I could express myself… share what I choose and in some cases write for future review. Perhaps I’ve kept this person quiet simply because…
We Need To Talk… These 4 words strung together are typically indicative of the beginning of a drama-fest; however, to me, they are a statement… one that upholds my self-theory that women need to talk more than men. Every once in a while a poem comes to me.. although the…
Have you ever known a person that simply cannot pick up on when it’s time to leave? I am not just talking about your house… but a restaurant, a store or a state. There are certain people who prefer to stay in mid-moment rather than getting going. I have come…
Our Next Contestant Should Be Coming to the Stage Right Now….. In many ways I must say that my choice in potential suitors has greatly improved; however, at the same time I am coming to the conclusion that dating sites are predominantly for men that are simply not willing, able…
I’ve taken a moment to reread some of my posts on Mr. Special and I must admit that I was quite smitten with him, probably to the point of sickening; however, that is how I felt and in truth, there are still some lingering thoughts of him. My friends helped…
No, not what you’re thinking…. Somewhere in time the title above would not be said by an Independent Woman… for fear that someone, anyone would think that she was weak, needy or a loser; however, after some internal thinking… I am more than OK in saying this… and in truth…
I have been known to use the phrase; people may not remember what you say, but, they remember how you make them feel… I really believe this! As I think about this it forces me to think about how we say things… and to get even more in-depth… how what…
In a recent discussion with a friend we got on the subject of Brownies & Nuts. I happen to be a major fan of nuts in brownies; however, him, not-so-much. In fact he went onto say, that if we were to get together.. he knew that he could kiss brownies…
With a slight modification of Johnny Paycheck’s song, I’ve come to the conclusion that I do deserve better. I am not referring to a ‘better’ man nor am I even referring to a man in general… Overall, I deserve better! Of course, I am writing this post in mid-drama, yet,…
I attended a bar the other night.. watched several young ladies flaunt all that they had in sequined dresses that were way out-of-place for the peanut shell floor; however, each generation has their own mating call. I watched as they tripped over one another and made attempts of boot-stomping dances…
I have spoken at great lengths about why I write this blog and how cathartic it has been for me. From where I sit, it is perfectly OK for me to do this as I gain insight, am able to express myself in a creative way and there is always…
When I started to write this blog, I was doing it just to put my thoughts to paper so-to-speak; however, I’ve been pleasantly surprised to actually have readers! Thank you! I am honored that others read what I write…. I will never ask you to come forward, if that’s not…
