I would like this blog to reflect many different thing even though right now my life is in a state of transition and heartache. So today I thought I would mix it up a little and write about something I get asked about often, perhaps 2-3 times a week, my silver hair. Why did … Continue reading Antique Blonde
Get Your Sh*t Together
This has been a week, I will not call it hard or difficult because that word would not do it justice. There have been good, bad and ugly events, so I'll just leave it at that. I had an energy audit courtesy of our friends at Duke Energy and as the guy walked through my … Continue reading Get Your Sh*t Together
Chasing Rainbows or A Journey through Life’s Struggles with an Eternal Perspective
I spent a few days in the NC mountains where my family is from and where I spend the majority of my growing up years. I stayed in cabin right on the Cane River and I could hear the river and the strangest sounding frogs (seriously) at night. At first I thought they were ducks....but … Continue reading Chasing Rainbows or A Journey through Life’s Struggles with an Eternal Perspective
Tethered to the Earth
Four months ago you flew away. Your soul was released to fly. No longer would you struggle with each breath, you exhaled your last before our eyes and WENT. I will never in my life forget the image of your going and how much I wanted you to both STAY and be FREE. I have … Continue reading Tethered to the Earth
Notes from my wall: Wildflower
I have always loved this quote, originally from Alice in Wonderland but have not really know why I like it. Lately I have been pondering what about it intrigues me. Wildflowers are oftentimes also called weeds. Dandelions come to mind and who doesn't remember blowing on one to make a wish or making a beautiful … Continue reading Notes from my wall: Wildflower

Lost
On Tuesday I had intentions of accomplishing great things (namely house cleaning) since everyone had been around this weekend but, when faced with the day, I crumpled. Alone. When they are gone, I feel the Great Alone. I was actually looking forward to quiet and time to clean but It suddenly became something different. I … Continue reading Lost
Six Weeks
Today marks six weeks since Sonny died. These six weeks have been both a life and a second in time. Remember when you were pregnant or had a baby? You marked time by days and weeks. In pregnancy this continues until delivery ( I am 41 weeks, when will this baby come?) After, it lasts … Continue reading Six Weeks
Dreams
I am sitting at my desk in my newly rearranged room, contemplating my new life. I actually thought about it a lot even before Sonny died. I asked him what I should do so many times. He wouldn't give me an answer and it hurt. I couldn't imagine life after he died and the idea … Continue reading Dreams
