Short and Cute
New Idea: We control our own attitudes. When you’ve reached that point in soul puberty that you can understand your frustrations when they happen and you can evaluate the triggers that would spark such an attitude change BOOM, another stage completed. Now, this is not to say that I have reached that stage but I believe I am on the cusp of controlling that and I hope that by summer I have...
Searching for Light?
Still working out the kinks of my first 365 but can you imagine where I will be a year from yesterday? I’m very excited. Hopefully I will be pulling my hair out studying like a madman, no pun intended, and attending University of Texas, Austin. Ah, a girl can dream. Regardless, still working out the special kinks of this task I have so openly laid out before me. I don’t just want to...

One † is bad and 5 † is the best, some we believe are sent from heaven so...

I run because it’s the only thing that reminds me of my body. I float along half the time, disengaged because nothing is engaging. Being engaged for so many years, to be precise…15 and 1/2 year long engagement. We had our ups and downs, but I could always depend on you. Through the fall and then scooping into the spring with less momentum but excitement for the oncoming spring. We...
Walking in my own shoes
…has been getting substantially harder as time crawls on. Why do I constantly stumble over the same roadblock continuously? It’s like I want to trip and fall, perhaps I like watching myself be in pain and wither like a snail covered in salt. It comes in waves. For women, everything comes in waves. Have you ever noticed that? Love, sometimes it’s stronger, sometimes its more...
It's official!
