Well, here we go, the last day of the second year since she passed. I am still standing, she knew I would be, however, there were moments I had my doubts. I think of her daily and everything reminds me of her. I am either remembering our life together or wondering what she would think... Continue Reading →
Something Sacred is at Stake
I have sat silent out of respect for the massive amount of loss all around us. Sickness, death, solitude, and desperation are everywhere. We are scared, tired, hopeless and terrified. Time has lost all meaning; when does it end, how does it end...there are no answers. We have been given no choice but to sit,... Continue Reading →
I keep a record of the wreckage in my life…
https://youtu.be/Q_dqfcvTZik Nightmare by Halsey Publishing what I like to call an OVERDOSE to "THE DAILY DOSE" of my Facebook page, "Always Starting...The Art of Never Giving Up". This was a very raw moment but so honest and having slept on it for over a week I am ready to hit publish. Relish in the honesty...... Continue Reading →
Blessed beyond measure…or am I?
As I sit here writing this I feel so blessed and so grateful for all that is in my life. I have more than I could create, buy, promote and yet it is my life. Every blessing. I fear putting it out in the universe because it would seem to good to be true which... Continue Reading →
Mood Swing Anyone?
Who am I? Sometimes this is a question I ask my many personalities. Scary, right? You just thought, "Did she just say that?". Yes, I did! I am in awe of the many moods we swing in and out of in any given day, week, HOUR, second...ha-ha. My moods sometimes catch me off-guard where I... Continue Reading →
Too Close for Comfort, Too Far to Regret
Well isn't this a fine mess I have gotten myself in! There are so many lessons learned and I have never felt such an array of emotions all at once. Yesterday I went back to the Psychic that I originally went to the first time I ever went; he blew my mind then...and yesterday it... Continue Reading →
Eulogy to my Hero…
#HonoringHer As today's denotes the official day my mom passed last year I thought the best way to honor this sacred day would be to share the eulogy that I gave at her Celebration of Life with our friends and family. I have revised it for content but admittedly it is still a long-read, just... Continue Reading →
Grief a year later…still sucks
This is the final five days of what was her last week. This year I am at work, working on budgets seemingly easy as compared to last year but gut-wrenching when I think about what makes it easier. I am living my life without her and while I have tricked myself into thinking I had... Continue Reading →
Music and Mom
Well I am happy to report that this month has not been the monster that I had created in my head for months leading up to August. It is August 16th, two weeks before the anniversary of her passing and I am still surviving. It's funny in this life how we prepare for the worst... Continue Reading →
I’ll decide…
This was one of my favorite things my mom would say. We would be contemplating something and she would say "l'll decide" and the debate would ensue. My least favorite thing she would say was "we'll see". She knew it would make me CRAZY and so she would say it as often as possible. The... Continue Reading →
