Thoughts, inspiration, balance… and randomness
When I was a youngin' my Dad used to take my brother and I on hikes through the trails and forests of Washington state. Every time we'd embark for the great outdoors, he'd tell us upon arrival, "Remember, if you get lost, hug a tree." Fortunately, I never had to take that advice, like a … Continue reading Hug a Tree
I'll bet that there was a time when you thought, 'my life is gonna be so different in ten years.' Well, I thought that ten years ago. While there have been some fundamental changes in my being, experience, and overall outlook on life... in general, I still am where I was ten years ago. Despite … Continue reading Ten Years in L.A.
My darling male basenji, Red, is just the sweetest darn boy alive. I know many strangers, including strangers with dogs, may not always agree with me. But of my two dogs, he is the genuinely lovable one. Last week, I took both the furballs to see the vet for their annual visit. Halo and Red … Continue reading Yank It Out
Sorry I didn't blog yesterday. I've been sick. Blech. I've been in bed for about three days now. No bueno. Being sick is never fun for anyone. Being sick as a single person? Well, it just sucks. I remember there being a Sex and the City episode on this (surprise, surprise, they always think of … Continue reading Minus One for the Singles
Ah, my favorite 'friend' line. If you've uttered these words from your lips- pay attention, this post is for you. I have a declaration to make. I'M OKAY GETTING HURT. Did y'all hear me? I'm okay getting hurt. I think hurt, disappointment, failure... words that are generally perceived as negative- are all part of life's … Continue reading “I Don’t Want to See You Get Hurt.”
I believe Karma is the word. Although I think Karma is a bit overused these days. People just love saying, (insert nasaly voice) "Karma is a b&*ch". Well, if you are saying that- isn't that negative? Which means that it'll come back around to get you too? Or, "I did something good, so I have … Continue reading You Get What You Give
I'm going to get all English lit up in here. Oh, yes, I titled this post after David Copperfield's famous novel; but don't think I'm actually going to be discussing the life of Pip right now. No, it was another Englishman that led me to this topic today- Billy Speares: Ah, expectations. The death of … Continue reading Great Expectations
Ok, who here doesn't like laughing? Exactly. No one. Everyone loves a chuckle. A gutbuster. Cracking up. LMFAO. People can try to suppress a laugh. Or, people can have zero sense of humor. I for one, love it. But to know my humor is to be my humor. I'm not talking Mr. Bean or The … Continue reading I Love To Laugh
What is it "they" say? ... something like, "I don't regret anything, it made me who I am today." Right?? Sounds like hooey. Something some fake person made up whose regrets were like blips on life's radar. "I regret picking the blue sweater instead of the red one!!!" Boo. What's funny about it is... dammit, … Continue reading Regret-Me-Not
She was apprehensive as she walked toward the school entrance. The nervousness seemed to multiply with every cautious step. Around her were other people, huddled in small groups, whispering, looking at her. Nothing like being the new girl on the first day of school, she sighed. She could feel their eyes working their way up … Continue reading Bulls on Parade
