I am unsure what language single men speak these days; however, I was recently mystified once again. A budding friendship had begun and things were light, fun and banter was at an all time high, even the tires had been more than kicked, so things were on an open-minded, even…
It’s no secret when we experience something we want it to last or we want to have it happen all the time; however, even the best meal would become status quo if we ate it all the time. I learned that when I took the meter of bratwurst challenge, I…
I should be strong enough to face you; however, it’s the truth I’m afraid of. I should be secure enough to trust you; however, it’s not my love I doubt. I should be bold enough to ask you; however, why do you insist on holding onto the answers. I should…
Years and years and years ago…. I was dating online, when it was taboo, weird or downright crazy. I was less than savvy; however, I thought it was a super concept and so I thought ‘what the hell’ and signed up. I had perused the profiles of several interesting gents…
I am in a real pickle. I’m in an awesome relationship; however, he has shaped a completely incorrect view of me. We started out more than grand; however, extenuating circumstances marred that blissful beginning. Where do I go from here? Is it worth setting the record straight OR do I…
My Aunt Jackie had a beautiful service… on the way home I started to think about my own funeral service. What would I want done? Who would handle it? Would I want to be seen or is cremation the answer? In all seriousness, I would want to create the picture…
It’s no secret that I’m a long-time Country Music fan; however, what you may not know is that Country Music has not just been something for me to listen to… the lyrics in songs have dictated many of my thoughts, perceptions and in truth, feelings. I would be hard-pressed to…
If you’ve ever met me you’ll know that my louder than normal voice and unfiltered comments are just some of the things that I am known for; however, what you may not know is just how small I feel at times. I realize that no other person will ever ‘complete’…
Recently I had placed myself in an awkward position… in an effort to help a family member in need… I offered up my house. I made the offer prior to truly thinking about the logistics, yet, he came to me – homeless. I live in a pretty small house as…

It would be the most incredible occurrence in life; however, the timing is completely wrong. How can something so wonderful be considered so very wrong? Well, there are many things in this life that if they would have happened in another time or place – they would be celebrated, announced…
Last night I spent a great deal of time speaking with a very handsome man. I had wondered if he had interest or if he was seeking conversation with someone other than his travel mate. We spoke of past relationships, where we are now, the B-52’s and photography. It was…
Recently someone told me that our relationship was ‘temporary’. I had to do everything I could to remain calm; however, after I had that not always taken ‘time-to-think’…. I realized how true that was. Life has a way of showing us just how ‘expendable’ we are. We all know that…
On Thanksgiving 2014 in the wake of the Darren Wilson Grand Jury decision, rioting has ensued across the country. I’ve chosen to watch The History Channel’s series; The Men Who Built America vs. news reports of those who choose to ‘burn this bitch down’. It’s puzzling to me that anyone would participate…
It’s hard to let things go. I’m not talking about losing them, but more or less just letting whatever come – come. I’ve fooled myself into believing that I was in control or that I possessed some magical power to will things a certain way; however, life’s lessons have proven…
Some love comes in an instant, whereas, other love comes in time. I’m living a fairy tale, there are no swords, or castles – it’s the 2 of us, together enjoying one another with zero drama. We watch a few couples in the neighborhood endure police interaction, other suitors and…
I hate whenever someone says the word “Drama”. Lately my life has been pretty calm, cool, dare I say even collected? Yet, I still have that other shoe to drop feeling. There’s no actual reason for me to feel this way; however, it’s difficult to separate previous experiences from now. I would…
