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.  

Be You!

Hello Lovelies,



Good morning to you!  I know it's been forever and a day, and you probably thought I was never coming back, but alas, here I am!  I'm sorry to have left you guys so abruptly.  Things got a little busy and hectic and I apologize for not making more time for all of you!

Good Morning!

Hello Lovelies,



I hope today finds you well!  I just wanted to stop in before I head to work and impart some thoughts with all of you.  So, I read a quote this morning that said "small minds can't comprehend big spirits.  To be great, you have to be willing to be mocked, hated, and misunderstood."  That's something that really resonates within me.  I have made a lot of choices in the last year or so that people don't understand.  I've made decisions that have caused people to view me differently.  I've changed, and some of the people that never really knew me to begin with, feel as though I've become someone worthy of their hate.  Let me tell you, I have not once, not for one millisecond, doubted the actions I've taken.  I know that I am a difficult person to love.  I have a BIG spirit.  I'm not an easy person to figure out, and I know there are plenty of people with similar personalities to mine out there, and I want you to know, you're not alone.  Though people may criticize you, tell you to calm down, tell you to not make so many waves, let me assure you, the moon makes waves all the time, it's okay for you to do the same.  A quote that I quite like says "she was never crazy.  She just didn't let her heart settle in a cage.  She was born wild, and sometimes we need people like her.  For it's the horrors in her heart which cause the flames in ours.  And she was always willing to burn for everything she has ever loved."  Now, if you're like me, this quote will resonate with you.  It takes a special person to understand our big spirits.
