My ramblings and wanderings through life

  • When I was young I thought I wanted to have a huge family. Since I had moved around so much and never felt as if I “belonged” in the sense that people wouldn’t question my roots or right to claim a family as my own, I thought that if I had my own kids I would then obviously have established my place in the world. So, for many years, I imagined myself with…

  • Around the middle of December, I had had enough of a repeated conversation between the man and myself on the topic of money. 💰 Whenever things get heated, he inevitably throws out “well, you could get a job”, which is a rather low blow given that we both know that isn’t exactly true in the conventional sense or the way that I think of having a job. So, rather than repeat our basically…

  • Despite great plans to get myself scheduled and settled, it’s ten days into the new year already and well, as they say… ‘the best laid plans…’. To be fair, I have scheduled myself and made multiple attempts to stick to it. The problem is life and others in my life do not seem to understand or follow my schedule! 🤪 🤷🏽‍♀️ Surprise! Ha! 😅 Really, it is fine. Although I have set the…

  • I wrote this as a draft for another article I was going to submit, but realized it was a bit too personal to share on a non-affiliated space. 🤷🏽‍♀️ There is some repeat from an earlier post last week, but in any case, I thought I’d put it here for record-keeping and, well, this IS an affiliated space for my personal musings. 😝 Also, as this is the sum of my reflections for…

  • Well, we’ve made it another year together! ❤️ I would do it again and look forward to every additional year of our adventurous life with each other. To be sure, there is yet to be a dull moment and while I might like some aspects to be a little less ‘exciting’, I would not change the stories we get to share. So, cheers to many more! 🥂 ~T 🔥🐉♋️

  • I knew nothing about this person other than what I saw on TV when he was part of The Ellen Show or from his social media account dancing with his wife and family showing nothing but smiles on their faces. As many posts online state, one never truly knows what is going on the inside of someone’s mind and heart. So, it is with sadness that I read/discovered that this person I recognized…

  • While I was home I came to a realization that surprised me. I’m tired of ‘changing’ or trying to do so. Obviously, the core person I am is the same – and likely always will be. However, I constantly believe that I need to ‘better’ myself. Whether that is through what I eat, how I exercise, my mental state, my spirituality. Instead of trying to change others, I have always been introspective believing…

  • While I was home I had an interesting conversation on the idea of what it means to be ‘selfish’ and if anyone can truly be considered ‘self-less’ or ‘altruistic’. A deeper discussion on this might come in a later post, but for the moment, I want to discuss words and their meanings. First of all, for me, words are just words. A word, in and of itself, is neither completely positive nor absolutely…

  • It has been nearly a week already since I returned home to Italy. The time has passed so quickly as I’ve been trying to adjust back to life with socializing, routines, priorities, and the like. Unfortunately, my lack of consistent sleep has been defining much of my productivity – or lack thereof. So, my priority for the next few nights is to sleep with the help of Valerian Root, which is a herbal…

  • It’s been less than a week since being back on American soil and visiting home. It is so nice to be amongst those with whom I am most comfortable and those who know me best. Even though I have not been home to visit for five years, it has felt as if I haven’t been gone that long. At the same time, I feel as if I have always been gone. I know……
