There are events that shape your life. They can change you beyond anything that you could dare imagine, both good and bad. I cannot go into the specific details of this particular trauma because it might hurt some if I did, but yesterday heartbreak came to visit. One would think a woman who has…
Sigh…. Even when you know something … it hurts when the news finally comes. Such is life. There are ups and there are downs. One must learn to savor the moments of joy … the moments of beauty … for there are always going to be the moments filled with sorrow and pain. Autisim isn’t…
Yes, you read that right. And NO, I am NOT posting picks. I know I wear my suit in front of other people, but I lie to myself and think about Mikey’s fabulous expression, and I pretend that I am just that HOT. Pictures however require that I acknowledge reality. I prefer my Fantasy. The…
This post is an expansion of the my brief post on my FB page. I felt that I should explain to you all, those who have followed me for the last two years–WHY I have been writing so little. I know I have told you there has been depression, stress, and changes. Most of my…
