Evening Memories

Hello Lovelies,

I have something a little personal to share with you all today.  I lost my best friend in 2006, and I have long since struggled with losing him.  Today, I'd like to share a quick poem that I wrote a year or so ago about him.  I understand that this isn't the cheery stuff I try to keep going on here, but we all have our quiet days, and right now...well, I just feel like honoring him with this.  And it's better to let it out than try and keep it hidden away where it eats at you.  So, please, be kind and respectful of the fact that this is my work, my words, my very mangled heart on a page.  

New Home!

Hello Lovelies,



Hello from Vancouver, Washington!  That's right, we've moved...again lol.  I'm telling you guys, we move all the time, our life is never boring haha.  We just don't want to get too settled and slip into mediocrity, or something like that!  But, I wanted to take a moment to say hello and wish everyone a happy fall!  October has become my favorite month(though previously it was September, so it's not like it's really changed); I think because fall really takes a hold and the holidays begin.  As you can see below, Vancouver does fall right :)

Introspective Big Magic

Hello Lovelies,



I know it's been forever and a day...and that's because there's always something crazy happening in my life, and today is no different.  But the reason I've been inspired to reach out today of all days, because obviously it's been hectic and crazy for the last however long since I last wrote to you, the reason I chose today, or that more specifically, today chose me, was a combination of things, really.

First of all, I've been reading...no, let's be honest, the thing that really started this was feeling like I need to get back to who I am.  I feel like when I first got to Washington, life was hectic, but it was pretty good.  And I feel like I'd made a lot of progress and I was really becoming the person I wanted to be in terms of being very centered and spiritual, not religious per se, but spiritual.  And I feel like my time here in Washington has been not what I expected.  It has taken me in a completely different direction, to the point that I feel just like I did when I lived in California; maybe a little bit better, maybe not so angry at the world, but nonetheless, very similar.  And I wanted to get back to that place of peace and contentment that I had in my time in Oregon, at the end of my time in Oregon.  I won't lie and say that life in Oregon was all sunshine and roses, no life in Oregon was shit show after shit show, but towards the tail of end of it, there was some real progress being made.  There were real successes on my end that have been, because they were successful, slightly swept under in the rug in terms of, "Well, we already did that, so moving on, what's next in life?"
