Today’s post is just to provide a little space to some of the best words ever written — and one of my absolute favorite quotes by the wise and great Francis Scott Fitzgerald. Great words to live by. Enjoy! For what it’s worth: it’s never too late or, in my case, too early to be…
Have we collectively become more sleep-deprived these past few months or is it just still us, the usual suspects — the insomniacs, the night owls, the creators, the brokenhearted…? These Drowsy Notes are a documentary of one of those sleepless nights. Five hundred twenty-four notes, what’s another one? 4:40 a.m. on the clock and heaviness…
No fall air was cool enough. No comfort found in words. Every little sound in the soulless night was a sinking hole. But their words… those words against the screen screamed like deep red blood. Seen by the blind, a voice heard by the deaf, mind read by the nescient. A nonexistent heart beat that…
Available at stores below: Smashwords | Amazon | iBooks One thing every independent author knows is how darn hard it is to go from idea to writing to publishing, all on our own. Whenever any non-writer says, oh I could totally write a book, I have to imagine they’re not aware of all the snags that…
Who’s the therapist in your life? Or are you that someone? You know, that person who, whether their profession or not, has the spine, the mind, and the guts and that swag that screams, “so what?”— do it and do it twice. And they’re classy enough to be your trusty go-to when the going gets…
I’m so happy to see how many platforms are finally talking about toxic positivity. I’ve been saying it for years — that it’s okay to be a realist, it’s okay not to be okay, it’s okay to allow oneself to experience all the emotions that everyday life and certain situations trigger in your mind and…
Maybe we can get together tonight or sometime this weekend? That’s not a text you send to a woman you claim to be in love with; that’s more appropriate for a hookup. And, ending it with a question mark…so typically him. It means it won’t happen. Sometimes, I wish I didn’t know his grammatical personality…
Cluttered minds have a thing or two in common. We can’t just get to our daily tasks like normal people do. A spider web waits outside as we try to climb out of the dark; in other words, out of bed. Do I follow this line or this one over here? And, where does it…
In the sky a bird rejoiced. We say they sing for rain. One of those things you almost miss because you looked away. Always looking down, scrolling to no end, while in front of us a sublime scenery takes shape and form. I say to myself, let’s just walk; no music, no browsing, no talking,…
Faceless. Like time itself, endless. Walking away from trouble until again it finds me. Words evaporate in the air, talking is pointless. To be ignored once deserves no merit. To be ignored twice is a warning sign. Be ignored seven times and it’s time to retract, back up, analyze. Just what are you doing standing…
During my walk today, I had the time to reflect on some things: I don’t like the way things are headed right now. I know I’m not the only one. I’m a major believer in peace and in our ability to do good. The statewide protests against police brutality have shown the best and worst…
The verve was gone. She did not recognize herself. She left the salon almost mournfully; while the hairdresser had flat-ironed the ends, the smell of burning, of something organic dying which should not have died, had made her feel a sense of loss. I couldn’t relate more… And what about this one: Relaxing your hair…
