Pick a Date, Any Date

I haven’t published anything since April of this year. April? April. Which, basically means, I haven’t been writing. What have I been doing? Well…really, running after two toddlers. 🙂 It’s a fun life. It’s a mom life. It’s my life as it is right now. It’s been a weird year. A weird, weird year. AndContinue reading “Pick a Date, Any Date”

Does the Heart Heal?

Your body will heal, She said. My body, it will heal, I repeat to myself. Yet I wonder: The body heals, but Does the soul? The precision tools cut into My skin, making a Gash, a hole. And I wonder: The body heals, but Does the heart? Stitches are made Where the hole Is toContinue reading “Does the Heart Heal?”

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”

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”

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.”
