I love my partner. I love him more than I did when we took vows. I love him more than I did yesterday. We are not without our struggles, but we both want this to flourish, and so things are never bad. It’s always just growth with us. Days like...

Well, I’ve been laid off. John’s dad’s hours got cut significantly, so each of them are able to be home with him now. This is a good thing for them (I mean, except for the job part…), but I’ll miss the little guy, and I’ll have to find new...

I’ve spent the day organizing through old papers- stories and poems from high school… my oh my. I’ve been listening to music that brings me back through my memories, from all my life. I’ve also been snuggling with my baby next to a sun-filled window and feeling content. Sifting...

I’m doing a doula training this weekend. I’m very excited to be doing something just for me. You know, for my personal betterment. I mean, I write, I am creative, I garden, I relax and nurture my friendships, I’m always up to something… But it’s been a while since I...

I decided to clean up my friend’s page a bit. I unfriended a few folks who either a)never updated anymore or b)I didn’t feel a great connection with. If you are one of those people who never updated, but you want to read my private entries (not that there...
