  • The Stage

    Can't make no sense of my lifeCan't understand about interacting with those around meFeel like invasion of privacy and collaborative effort to disturb peace is the toll of the dayPay to play...and play and play and playGuess if life gives me only these cards to play...then I too playAnd then, another dayanother attempt to make my best play.November 20, 2011

  • ...evil understanding...

    ...being at the brunt of the evil hand, disconcerting envy, and meaninglessness hatred is no foreign space for me to find my self in. I safely assume, that it is not very distant to any of us. We live in a mean world. Just as the zebra boldly wears his black and white strips, so too does life deal t

  • ...in a most serendipitous way.

    I've written before about my attempt to rekindle a love life with an old lover of mine, yet have found the course static and inconsistent. Each day I contemplate the ultimate question...'is this affair of the heart do-able?' Our mutual desire to find a love style that fits and is comfortable to both

  • torn and tattered

    Life has the most profoundly interesting moments. And also offers the most unsettling periods of lull. The challenge for me is finding a place of peace and passion in the midst of the two...which chronically threatens to elude me. Yet, this day that I blog I stand firmly in the mist of a moment o

  • Hello Again!

    It's was this time last year when I began to blog on Yahoo! Shine. I was filled will excited energy and buzzing to share my life and thoughts on an electronic media platform. It was new and I was hyped. During those days I was dealing with an extensive time in the job search market, suffering from u

    Life is a b---- and so are You.

  • Swept Ashore...life still ain't a day at the beach

    It has been a while since I've written a Yahoo Shine blog. I guess it may because my life has been in a state of change and evolution. The universe opened the window to my prayers...and gave me 'that which I asked for'. So, I am now back in the American labor force...employed...a working woman and w

  • His Masterplan is in His Hand...life and death!

    I recently wrote a blog that discussed death. Many may wonder the correlation that I draw between Death and the sap that seeps from Maple trees. The basis comes from ole' folks tales. Most of these tales are based on the years old folks spent watching the earth, the atmosphere and seasons as guiding

  • trick or treat...LIFE

    Have you ever felt that life has played a strange trick on you? Wondered why you are here, yet not really a part of the process called life? Lost...lacking any real understanding of the how's and whys of your existence? Purpose...I just want to know…now that I am here in this world, how am I to su

  • one would think...

    I've been divorced from my ex for thirteen years, had two other significant relationships and given birth to two other children. ...One would think that I would be over that divorce by now! Considering that he has remarried and for eleven years lived in a state of 'what appears' happy marital bliss,

  • Our Daughters...always family, but will they one day be Friends?

    As I look at the photos of my daughters and my niece I think of female bonding. It has always been an adage in our family that the females are the family anchors, the strength and glue that hold the family together. This may be so. Idealistically I would love to see my daughters closely knitted toge

  • here looking at me too!

    Last evening my male companion proposed spending the night at my home. He simply wanted to sleep over rather than traveling home during the middle of the night. It seemed pretty innocent, yet it caused me to have to take a real look at my boundaries and ideas, especailly since I have college, teen a

  • Nine Years and Still Going On

    This day is the anniversary of the day that I gave birth to my last child. A beautiful and very much blessed baby girl. She came into this world kicking and screaming and punching towards all the opportunities that this world offers. She took her first breath with the gusto of a winner, a survivor,
