Freeing the Mind – A little…
It’s been a busy week to kick off the new month of May. Every day, I find myself saying that it’s temporary or that in a couple of weeks it will be slower. Yet, I have finally accepted – yes, just today after all these years! – that each day is a game of balance…

Spring-ing!
Yikes, the time has flown by and April is already almost over. I hardly know how the time has passed, but life is good. I am always in a state of trying to balance all the things I want to do (which is a lot) with what I have to do (which isn’t that much).…

Camino de Santiago: Planning
Some years ago, my mom or someone gave me a book about walking on trail as a kind of pilgrimage. I’m not quite sure why it stuck in the back of my mind over the years as I’ve read a lot of books so far in my lifetime. Even though now I cannot remember the…

Health: Fibroids – Update 1
So, back in February when I wrote about my fibroids, I was told to go for an MRI with some unremembered-named injection. Following that, I was also asked to go do my blood tests for any uterine cancer flags. Even with the results of those seemingly OK, my doctor continued to insist that I needed…

Basking in Spring

Birds of unknown varieties and quantities sing their songs as some, like the swallows, nestle into their homes making room for the coming babies. The lizards and bugs have also come out to play. The…

On the Edge…
The other day, I messaged with a writing adoptee friend as part of our regular check-ins with each other. She replied back that my list of goals and activities for the next two weeks made her exhausted reading it, to which I laughed. For me, it didn’t feel like much. When one lives with a…

Still Catching Up
The week has flown by. I suppose not arriving home until Monday helps with that, but also it’s been a flurry of catching up on things. Now that it is Friday, I feel as if I’m approaching being caught up even though my body is not sure. Physically, I’m a bit out of whack. My…

Family Time
Family. Such a loaded and complicated word. So much is wrapped up in this two-syllable (or three if you enunciate it fully) word. When you’re an adopted person, this word has even more implications and nuances. We are told that we are lucky because our family “chose” us. Or, as in my case, I feel…
