Through My Eyes

Today I am amazed at the number of pictures we take in any given season- yet they are safely stored in the ‘cloud’ somewhere. We hardly ever go back to look at them. We rarely ever print them. Question of the day – ‘ Where is the cloud?’ I treasure my collection of printed picturesContinue reading “Through My Eyes”

Loving- Risky Business

I just about 18 years old – he may have been 19 or so. Our college was small and everyone knew everyone. As a transfer student, I was new to the culture of this college. There were unspoken rules, traditions and behaviors that were unique to this campus. I later learned it was common forContinue reading “Loving- Risky Business”

Training Days

Though amazing, my high school was not for the faint-hearted. When my guidance counselor saw me for the first time at open house, she jokingly asked my mom if she was sure she didn’t want to transfer me to another school. She commented that I looked like an 8 year-old. Navigating a blend of crazy,Continue reading “Training Days”

You Still Shine

Things have a way of being here today and gone tomorrow. Sometimes, however, there’s that one thing that grabs a hold of your heart for whatever reason. My dad gave me this necklace in 1990 – that’s 34 years ago! It’s the only thing that I possess at this moment that has my dad’s markContinue reading “You Still Shine”

The Familiar I Almost Forgot

It is not uncommon for some to get into a funk for a number of reasons. Often, we reminisce about lostContinue reading “All Kinds of Love”

Right for Me

Today my high school celebrates its 81st birthday. So much of who I am grew out of my 5 years at this noble institution. Many of the bonds I formed then are still very much a part of my world today. I would do it all over again – maybe this time around, it wouldContinue reading “Right for Me”

It Takes Me Back

Bloganuary 2023 : Day # 16- ‘ Do you have a memory that’s linked to a smell? I don’t think I have a memory that’s linked to any particular smell. However, when it’s hot and rain drops touch dry soil there’s a smell that takes me back to childhood. Sometimes I stand and take aContinue reading “It Takes Me Back”

That Year – That Moment

Day 21 – ‘What year would I time travel to?’ Any year, any moment, any time that I can experience life at it’s fullest is game for me. I am blessed to be able to feel – feel those emotions that remind me that I am. I am a woman, gentle yet fierce, flawed yetContinue reading “That Year – That Moment”
