Writing

Rough Draft

A few weeks ago I mentioned that I was starting a book project. Since it has been a month or so since I mentioned this fact, I felt like I needed to follow up and say that, Yes, I am still working on this project. Phase One of this project, the R & D, orContinue reading “Rough Draft”

Physical Therapy For The Soul, Part III

In the first two parts of this three part series, I looked into physical therapy; what it was and what the emotional equivalent of physical therapy would be. I looked at differences and similarities and contrasts between these two therapies. In this third part, I am going to attempt to delve into what the spiritualContinue reading “Physical Therapy For The Soul, Part III”

New Project

I’ve started a new project. (I can see my husband rolling his eyes at this statement. Hardly a week goes by when I don’t ‘start a new project’). This project, though, is a for-real-I-have-a-goal-and-a-purpose project. It’s book project to be specific. You’ve all heard me moan and groan for the last four years that IContinue reading “New Project”

Therapy Session

I sit here at my dining room table feeling…feeling what? I have a big mug of tumeric ginger tea by my laptop, full and very hot. It’s still steeping. The tumeric ginger tea isn’t a fancy brand, it’s the cheap-o kind I got at the supermarket, but it’s decaf which is the important part. DecafContinue reading “Therapy Session”

Short Term Work

I feel like it’s been a while since I’ve written. I feel this back up, what I call ‘creative constipation’, happening. There are things I want to write about, it’s just taking the time to write about them. And Time, per say, right now, isn’t necessarily an issue — not like when I worked atContinue reading “Short Term Work”

Creating a Routine

Since being out of work for the last week or so I’m trying to get into a new daily routine. I’m trying to put into action the things that I have had in my head. Like, when I was at work, I would think, ‘This or this is what I would be doing if IContinue reading “Creating a Routine”

The Resting of Desire

I wrote this little poem — I guess it’s a poem? — earlier this year while at a farmer’s market selling my handmade aromatherapy goods. I had a little space between customers and this popped in my head; or more rather my heart. Often when I am at farmer’s markets I want to buy everythingContinue reading “The Resting of Desire”

A Poet On Vacation

Tiny, translucent clouds, wispy, soft, light, drifted past the bright, full moon as it shone upon the dark water, casting a romantic hue in the atomsphere. The waves, flowing, crashing, dancing, came to their shore-boundary and pulled back again, as another row of dancing, foamy waves came and took its place and they, in turn,Continue reading “A Poet On Vacation”

Writing For

In most of my writing I am not writing to or for a specific audience. I am just writing for myself, whatever I want to write, whenever I feel led to write it. It’s personal expression, emotional processing, things that I feel need to be written or said or read. You all know this byContinue reading “Writing For”

P. S.

I felt like my last post was kind of another mash-up of random thoughts that I’m just stringing together about healing and God and temporary stuff, in the context of It’s Worth It. I feel like I’m trying to find the words that express how I feel inside which comes out in a conglomeration ofContinue reading “P. S.”
