My dead relatives come to me in my dreams at times. The story is so real; forget they are no longer of this Earth. I ponder through out the day, just what the dream meant. I try to decipher with all the tools interpreting your dreams offer, and still there is no big revelation. Instead, I am left... Sign in to see full entry.

When your world stops, and the universe continues to spin you find yourself in this void of space and time, which never existed, for you. The most wonderful or equally devastating thing may have just happened to your heart and there is a pause. You contemplate its meaning and as you come to again.... Sign in to see full entry.

That’s what it feels like. Addiction. You can’t get enough of something... food, drugs, sex, a person, a thrill, or an experience. All the while you know this thing…isn’t a necessarily good thing for you. Yet the pull that brings you back time and again, it is bigger than anything you’ve... Sign in to see full entry.

I have the luxury of marrying into a family who own a “lake house”. Growing up in Chicago, no one had a lake house. You just went to Lake Michigan, if you wanted to be by the lake.

Heartbreak pulls you right back to high school physics. It tells you that for every up there will be a down.

In the early morning hours on a crisp day in October, the fog laid gently on the hills. The sun had been up a few hours but had yet to burn off the blanket of cool air on...

I saw something pretty remarkable this weekend. It's something you see in life but rarely on stage in front of a crowd. The opening act at the concert I attended were the bearers of the gift. Love so clear a blind person may be able to see it too. As I watched them perform their sound check, I saw... Sign in to see full entry.

I watched a woman mother her two young boys as we both sat on the cold bleachers in the arena. Our daughters were in their weekly ice skating lesson. I enjoy being able to watch my daughter skate, a luxury usually reserved for my husband. He rarely has much quality time with the girls; this is his... Sign in to see full entry.

A parade of unseasonable rain passed through our city last week. Two inches of rain could have been nearly two feet of snow. Where I sit toady, I’d taken the snow. I have a basement in my home. Three quarters is finished, one quarter isn’t. The fourth that isn’t we’ve had seepage so we kept it... Sign in to see full entry.

There is an expectation that our daughters have, that I find so interesting. Not quite sure if it’s inherent to their process as a female, or if they have learned this behavior in social modeling. I’ve begun to witness how they would like you to notice something “different” about them. It could be... Sign in to see full entry.
