You are not responsible for the ones you love, except if they are children under a certain age or a pet. It may be a controversial thought but the subject is worth discussing. Many of my Millenial peers go through life feeling responsible for friends and family, carrying huge chips on their shoulders that shouldn’t […]
It has been 10 months already since we started to foster Zach and although there is a very strong sense that he will not be able to stay with us forever, we are enjoying the possibility of hosting him indefinitely. With the new house almost finished, we hope to move before the middle of October […]
Photo Credit: Gypsie Raleigh After 15 years together, my husband and I were staring at each other across a great divide: As DINKs (double icome no kids) we had reached a defining moment in our lives and careers that separated us from our peers. We were no longer the rule but rather the exception. This […]
I’ve always been fascinated with learning where all the entrances and exits are in a building, restaurant or location. Between my 80s upbringing, the Die Hard movies and my mom’s military training I always knew these doorways, elevators, staircases and windows were important for my survival in case of an emergency or threat.

A few musings ago I posted a poem with the same title as this article and although it captures most of what I feel, there is something to be said about the subject of unrequited love. It is not unreasonable to argue that in most cases, from divorce to suicide pacts, the end of a […]
Rude, inconsiderate, unkind and uncouth. Completely amoral, unhinged and unrelenting.

Or was it you and your joie de vivre which confused me. For such an apathetic demeanor […]
I never knew who you really were. I have to tip my hat to you for keeping me in the dark for so long. Deep down inside I had a feeling that you were the one who would break my heart and scatter the pieces to the wind. Only showing me what you wanted me […]
This one goes out to all of the guys that told the perfect girl they either they loved them like a sister, that as a man they weren’t good enough for her or that they wanted a girl like their best friend. Idiots! Dear (Insert Name Here), It’s me, the girl you met once that […]
I think I know why everyone is so obsessed with finding love this days: friendship is not enough anymore. The sentiments of companionship and affection that we used to long for are being replaced with the need to belong to someone, to have a trusted ally that would never leave us, that possesses our soul […]
I wish I could say that I’ve missed you, That the days passed by without the thought of you, That no one has mentioned your name, Or asked me how you were doing. I wish I could say that I need you, Like the air I need to breath, But since I can’t see you, […]
