Diary 101 #6 – Thinking back…

When I say my mind never stops, I mean it. The last few days I have really been stuck in the mindscape of why: Why was I the way I was in my teens? I'd love to ask the people that knew me then why exactly did they treat me or not treat me like … Continue reading Diary 101 #6 – Thinking back… →

A Look Back on 2021

Did 2021 even happen? To some of us, 2021 was the great entry back into life from the 2020 shutdown, for others it was just an extension to 2020. For me personally not too much changed.

Christmas Memories

I thought I would write here a few more of my favorite Christmas moments. One Christmas, I had to be 9 or 10, and this was the great year of Cabbage Patch dolls.

When we were done, she sat back and said words that I'll never forget. “Wow Evie, looking at you today you would never know that you went through all that”. She went on … Continue reading Seeing Others As They Are →

Memorial Day

How traditions are no longer a part of my life and how making new traditions have been hard for me. When you move to a new place, change … Continue reading Memorial Day →

Life Friends…

I could not be more different from my Amber. We have always been day light and dark different. About the only thing we had in common was the fact we both breath air. Maybe that is why we are able to be such good friends.
