Something that I remember about growing up, is that reading was always greatly encouraged.  There was a bookcase taking up a whole wall in the back of the living room, and to reach some of the books, you had to use a chair.  We had all sorts of books, encyclopedias, set of books about the...

I cant really remember when it happened.  I know it has been more than a year or so now.  There must have just been a moment where all was right in the world and something shifted.  I don't have that many memories from my childhood of them, and I was not always so fixated.  It...

It is quite accurate that all the world is a stage.  I hope that y'all recognize this quote from a Shakespeare play.  In the last couple of weeks, this was something resonating with me while thinking about some things that I was looking forward to.  Granted I have always had a flair for the dramatics,...

Once upon a two months ago, I injured the poor Doozer Mobile in the parking lot of my apartment complex.  Somehow it became quite-complex to get her fixed.  Between two Ford Dealerships, my insurance company, and several phone calls, I was finally able to drop off my beloved car and get transported to a rental...

When I returned to the great state of Florida weeks ago, I came home to a totally empty fridge.  I was excited to get to the grocery store and fill it up with some yummy and healthy options.  So excited in fact, that I backed out of my parking spot a little too quickly.  You see it...

When I arrived at the airport in Philadelphia this time, I did not even know what to expect.  I knew the weather was clear that day, and I had gotten texts from the air line telling me that the flight was still on schedule, but you just never know it seems.  Still, I hugged my...

Just as there were things about my childhood home that I found to be very different, there were also many things the same. The smell of my Daddy's records, the way that music seemed to make cleaning the dishes after dinner not as tedious a task, and the way that no matter what -I belong... Continue Reading →

It has been an eternity since I have written a new post, and while I have meant to the time just did not present itself.  I was super sick, to the point where delirium kicked in and I thought I had sneezed glitter.  I also watched the same movie three times just so that I... Continue Reading →

There is a quote in the movie "Blow", you know the one with Johnny Depp where he plays the drug dealer George Jung.  The movie came out in 2001, and I thought he, and the movie were the coolest thing ever for some reason.  We can more than likely blame it on my being 19... Continue Reading →

Every single year, we all have a day that we can use to celebrate just being alive. Really you can do it everyday, but what I’m talking about here is your Birthday! I know that some of y’all out there choose not to acknowledge your special day, but I am not one of them. I... Continue Reading →

Y'all listen..there are things that no one, and I mean NO ONE shares with you about the process of losing weight. I am not one to shy away from the truth about something.  Unless of course, it involves murder or jello..those are things I can not get on board with.  But really, some people will...

If I stop to think about it, the place that so many things happen and so many moments are shared..is the couch. Life happens on the couch. It’s where you are gathered with your family watching movies, where you might lay under a blanket when you aren’t feeling well. Sometimes it is where you are... Continue Reading →
