My sister did something very brave in her blog, today. She told the world what is happening in her family. She shared in her own way the effects of bipolar disorder on family life. The short version of the story is that Tony, her other half, who has bipolar disorder, is now in jail. He …

Hobbits, I love me some Hobbits…
I have never read The Hobbit. Own three or more copies, some very nice hard back editions, but in my three plus decades of life I have never read it. Well, not until last week. When I was young, there was no one to introduce me to the classics of Science Fiction and Fantasy. Anne …
The Pages So Far
Thus far 2014 has been going smoothly, my resolutions are still in tact and the first storms have been weathered. Pages are flowing together and life is moving forward. There is another storm on the horizon as Luke will need to go back to the vet this week. A week ago he was attacked and …
Gluten Free and Budget Friendly
This week the budget is going to get tight, skinny jean tight. So I thought I would share how I make it through on weeks like this without pushing my bank account into the red or throwing my diet out the window for some cheap processed food. It is time to get smart. The first …
New Year… New Lessons
A chilly Florida day and Luke was ready to get out and go. Literally. His morning walk was rushed due to an cold snap. I was freezing while Luke was hunting for the perfect spot. Once this was achieved we ran back to the house as my cat, Jack, jogged behind us. It was kind …

My heart does not beat to a different drum or flutters with excitement. It races and takes my breath away. Literally. In 2012, my heart beat so fast, it drained the blood from my face. I couldn't breathe and I was taken away in ambulance for a not so lovely stay in a hospital cardiac …
Raindrops Thoughts
I do not give up, but sometimes I need to give in to let my fears and the tears they generate out. I am only one person who does the best she can and gets up everyday and tries to do it a little better than she did before. I want a life with more sunshine …
FML ~ Philosophy to Really Mess You Up
What about ten bad days or a month of them? Can I feel like I have a bad life then? Can I ? Is it ok to have a FML moment and not be told to suck it up. Cause I am really sick of sucking it up and I want to have a pity …
Exposing Myself
For much of my adult like I have been a big girl. The plus size section has been my home, when it comes to shopping. Once, I proudly pronounced that I was a size 14. Now, I am a size eighteen, if the jeans are kind, and my boasting has ended. As a teen, I …
