So I took the plunge and started my life over again. Now what? What is it that I am trying to do that I couldn't do before and with a partner? My new house is coming together. There are curtains hanging in the bedroom and dinning room. I even have a table cloth and place …

Back on Track.. Well.. Kinda of…
Thank you for continuing to patronize this site in my absence. In the last two weeks, I have ended a long term relationship and moved into a place of my own again. It was a hard step to make, but a necessary one. Sometimes even when you love someone it isn't meant to be a …
Mind on Holiday
My brain has decided to go on holiday a little early.. it is months away from spring break and summer is just a dream at this point; but still it has decided to be preoccupied with distracting me from writing to concentrate matter it feel is more urgent. As a result, posts here may become …
Exams, Cars and Delays
This week my students take their mid-semester exams. It also marks the beginning the semi-annual whine festival; especially among the seniors. Their continued enrollment and graduation is on the line. Participation in the program is voluntary. If students aren't benefiting from the program then they can go back to their home school. If they aren't …
Working my life away… or
Two weeks, I began two more jobs. I already had two... well besides writing. Monday nights, I am reading tarot at a local bar and Tuesday I am tending the same bar. Both of the new financial opportunities were the result of a good friend needing help and me needing cash. Maybe I am crazy …

Getting to Know Jane –
Today, or more aptly yesterday, I began my endeavors to get to know Jane Austen. In high school, I was able to avoid her acquaintance through my English teacher's disdain for her. None of my college professors introduced me, so I escape being forced to read her. I am not a huge fan of romances …
In Closing the Year….
The journey that I began when I started this site has taken me into an arena that I never imagined was actually possible; writing a novel and getting my poetry out into the world. I have won two blog awards, entered and won my first writing contest. For a girl who subtitled her first handwritten …
Blank Page
The page went blank a couple of moments ago; all my precious thoughts disappeared. The words that I was trying to craft were lost. They could have been retrieved. When they blinked out of existence I could have clicked undo and restored them. I didn't. I stopped myself. I just stared into the blankness and realized …
The One I Didn’t Buy…
Like many Americans, I buy holiday gifts for loved ones and friends. This year, I labored over one gift in particular; not the actually gift, but the idea of giving this person another gift. Normally, I am not the kind of who keeps a gift tally. If I give you a gift, I don't expect …
