Less is More

Rome is burning, but the truth is, I’ve never really cared about Rome. The status quo of western civilizations. Colonization, the theft of history, and the denial of fundamental human rights. I know and accept that we can’t all live in harmony because humans are not a harmonious lot. We rape, pillage, and take more than we need. Waste what… Read more »

If you want to win at life, start by letting people do what they need to do to make themselves happy. Mind your own business. Do what you need to do to make yourself happy. The End  

Lost Part Two

For as long as I can remember the majority of my extended family has been on a diet. We’re all, shall we say, ample side. Weight-watchers was the main one, but, every once in a while there would be the Non-Fat Only Diet, Cabbage Soup Diet, Fasting, 80/20 – any time I went to visit I was not looking forward… Read more »

I left out a lot of details because there are others that have newer and more helpful info – but if you have a question, please feel free to ask. You can contact me… Read more »

When my family would go on Volksmarches, I learned to cope by giving myself markers “I have to make it to the end of this fence. If I… Read more »

Well, sort of; one day in 2006 while hugging and swaying to the music “You’re Beautiful” came on and Michael and I were singing the lyrics together.  He was singing “You’re Beautiful,” and I was singing  the parody “My Cubicle.”  We laughed. In the Summer of 2013, during a significant depressive episode, brought on by stress and more stress and I wanted… Read more »

My Intrusive Thoughts.

      Comments Off on My Intrusive Thoughts.

Yesterday was a stressful fuck. First a dental cleaning – not a big deal in the scheme of things but I hate it none the less. After the cleaning, I was told that I needed a crown. Three hours later I am having my right tit smushed in between two plates. Apparently, the mammogram I had the week prior has… Read more »

I can certainly understand the fear that comes with traumatic events at the hands of people who seem to have some “control” in your life. We all have happened to us, to our loved ones, and we continue to sit on these secrets. We spend so much energy trying to be safe and quiet, and the trouble with that is… Read more »

We are getting ready to embark on the road trip of a lifetime this morning and I find this tidbit in my email —   LOUP, what wouldn’t you give to live, love, and be happy, deliriously happy, forevermore? Well, that’s just it, you needn’t give anything, LOUP. Just decide to live, love, and be happy, deliriously happy, from this… Read more »
