How could anyone tell you you’re anything less than beautiful
How could anyone tell you you’re anything less than whole
How could anyone fail to notice
your loving is a miracle
so completely part of my soul.
– Lyrics from a song I heard a long time ago. For anyone who has doubted themselves, doubted their worth, [...]

The following was inspired by a creative writing prompt — weave a story that revolves around the cliche, “drown your sorrows.” This is an entirely fictional post, don’t worry about me!
I don’t get the expression, “drown your sorrows.” I have tried it, numerous times, and it hasn’t worked yet. I tried sitting at the [...]

Then I was really shy, especially in crowds
Now, I am comfortable talking to just about anyone and rarely feel like the shy wallflower girl anymore. I still feel a little shy at times, but it doesn’t paralyze me.
Then, I felt invisible in many ways
Now, I am confident wearing short black dresses, striped tights and black [...]

The gifts I would really like to give to the people I love are of the intangible sort that are hard to wrap up and put under a tree. So I will list them here instead. While I realize that won’t make my wishes real, I firmly believe that putting positive energy and good wishes [...]

I know I am biased, but I really do think she is the sweetest, happiest and prettiest pup.
Myra got an early Christmas present on Saturday — a new soccer ball. She absolutely adored it. She would chase it way longer than she chases her other balls. She would beg to go out so she could [...]

When I started at my job, my boss kept telling me I needed to decorate my cube, but I didn’t think it mattered.
But I have little things all around my desk at home, and it is my favorite spot in the house, because they are all little things that I love to see. When I [...]

I am a woman
What does that mean to you?
Do you think sugar and spice and everything nice?
Well, you shouldn’t, doesn’t always apply
Do you see me as a pretty poster girl?
Oh so pretty but so not real? Not my style.
