Just a blog about life, memories, family, friends, and everything else along the way.
A friend recently told me about her idea to turn her property into an event center. Those who know me well know that made my heart skip a beat. Planning events is my jam. I believe I am good at it and I really enjoy it. I blame that on my mama and raising me …
In the quiet of the evening, the silence is sometimes deafening. There is a battle in my head and in my heart. I was conditioned to be around people. My family specifically. But then things all fell apart. And I fell apart. My world fell apart and I went from being surrounded by people who …
Yesterday, I attended the funeral of a friend and coworker. He fought a battle with cancer for a lot longer than most people knew. I can’t imagine carrying that weight all by myself, without much complaint. But, he did. In the last waning days of his life, he lived it to the max. He knew …
Have you ever just wanted to drop everything and run away? To find a place where reality doesn’t exist and something more peaceful does? I call this place the unreality. It’s the place where everything in the world is right, is just, is fair, is happy. It’s the place where the underdog wins and everyone …
While most people are making their new year resolutions and plans for “new year, new me,” I’m sitting on my sofa with my DoorDash order from Zaxby’s wondering why the breading on their boneless wings is hard enough to cut my gums. It’s safe to say I haven’t quite made it to the point of …
I believe that life is a series of epiphanies that bring us to where we are supposed to be. Sometimes we have to endure the same epiphany like it’s new until we finally get it. I don’t have brain damage (unless you count the two concussions) that would make me learn things at a slower …
For the first Christmas in many years, I didn’t put up a Christmas tree. Last year, I was so excited to decorate the tree and the rest of my house. This year I was doing the waltz with a Sitz bath and just hoping that somehow, the tree would walk out of the closet and …
Time passes and years build upon years. One day you find yourself like me, sitting in a public place watching people and asking myself how did I get here? Not my physical location but at this point in time and space. It doesn’t feel that long ago that I was a child on an elementary …
I planned to make my famous cheese straws for some thoughtful Christmas gifts. I bought my ingredients yesterday and even set the cheese out earlier today to soften. I shredded my cheese with the grater attachment to my Kitchen-aid mixer. This is the attachment I just had to have but have used maybe twice in …
As I sit here, shaking Sweetarts onto my shirt and eating them from the little pocket my cleavage makes in my shirt, I can't help but think that I will never fit in. Truth is I never have. That probably doesn't come as a big surprise. I'm known for oversharing about a lot of things …
