Anxiety, Anticipation, Angst….
Maybe it just me, but every now and again, I consider our adjectives and wonder at the commonalities or intensity of meaning according to letters of the alphabet. For example, have you ever thought about ‘con’ words? Contemplation. Conscientiousness. Concrete. All these ‘con’ words connect to the mind. Today as I sit to write my…

Anti-Social Socialite
Every day I see people – well, almost every day. I generally force myself to get out at least once in a day even if it is just for my lessons/sessions. Despite this, I still regularly crave going into a cave and hiding into my own world. For some this might be considered as anti-social…

Sometimes You Just Need a Day…
If I were to describe myself to others who might not know me, I would say that I am: *organized *no nonsense *quiet, but not shy *a listener and observer (introverted) *conditional giver (yes, I only give under certain conditions, but then I give forever and always) *loyal once one has gained my trust and respect…

Third Installment
Just two days ago I wrote about my upcoming article on Aprilmag.com. Well, it was published without my realizing it and is now up on the magazine page! It feels good to be writing regularly again and I feel as if each time I am upping my game a bit. It gives me confidence again…

Happy Thanksgiving 2016!
For the first time in years I am not actually celebrating Thanksgiving with my friends-family. We had initially planned to have a big bash, but with limited furniture and funds we decided to postpone a large party. It is sad, really. Then again, it has definitely been a year of reflecting, shifting and starting anew.…

Masochistic?
Yep, I actually Googled the definition of masochism this morning. Why? Because, I wonder if my subconscious is really masochistic…. 😐 I feel as if the darkness is winning these days. It is the season of being thankful, thinking about presents and the coming family-time, looking forward to the new year on the horizon with…

Some Awakenings…
So yesterday I wrote about my lack of certainty mostly regarding what I am doing with my life. As I spent most of the day on my own and processing my thoughts – fighting with the dark and light in my head – I came to some new realizations. Let me share a few. *I…

On the Edge…
Sometimes when I take the time to share what is going on in my life or when I stop to think about it, I can see why people say to me, “I do not know how you do it.” Most of the time I never think about the how or even the why. I just…
