I’ve always loved to write. And told myself someday I would write a book.
This is a start. Thank you for reading!
Elysia
Elysia I said my good-byes to Elysia, the woman who got me started and taught me reflexology, on March 5th. That was the day I attended a workshop with her to learn how to use the wooden dowel during a reflexology session. This was to be her last workshop before she...
Eight Years
Hi Mom, It’s that time of year again. Time to write your letter. Eight years. Eight very long years. Yet somehow it still seems like yesterday, it’s gone by so fast. I still miss you every day. A few weeks ago, I pulled my phone out of my pocket as I could hear it...
Seven Years
Hi Mom, Me again. Another year has gone by without you. I wish I could say it is getting easier. It’s different, but not easier. Today, the anniversary of your passing, marks the beginning of my downward spiral so it’s always a difficult day. I get taken back to that...
Six Years.

On a Wednesday night, Marc and I found ourselves at Carrabba’s. I had never been there before. We were trying to decide where to eat and it was right there. We sat at the bar, it was just us and the bartender (who was hilariously sarcastic and entertaining). As we...
God Bless America.
It’s been a while since I’ve felt like writing. I feel like my mind has been hijacked by all the crap going on in this country, and the world, the last couple of weeks. I literally can’t seem to pull myself away from it. I find myself falling into the abyss, even...
Reflection
I’ve been doing some self-reflection the last few days, thinking about this past year. Although COVID certainly brought many different challenges to all of us, my 2020 was not all bad. Here are some of my highlights. First off, I would like to congratulate myself. I...
