Sometimes I fall into this dark head space and I feel like I just turn numb inside. It feels like I stop caring and it feels scary to me. It feels scary because I am someone who feels deeply. I genuinely care about people and their well being, and what they may feel or think.… Continue reading Dark spaces
Hello readers! Back to writing as our typically sunny Southern CA experiences their first Tropical Storm since…awhile. I read somewhere that it’s been 80 years since a storm of this magnitude was headed our way? Not sure how accurate that is because I’m grabbing this info from a friend in my bookclub text chat.

Today I stayed home from work because I’m sick and resting from a respiratory infection and possible pneumonia. As I finally willed myself to get out of the dark bedroom, I walked around our quiet house. Both my girls were at my parents house because their Spring break just started today, and my husband is… Continue reading Ready to begin again
It’s funny how from one instant to the next your emotions and feelings can switch so quickly. This morning started relatively well.

I’m sitting here contemplating that in a little over 2 months I’ll be turning 47, and when I let the thought of that decade settle into my mind and heart, I’m quite honestly a bit surprised… Continue reading A new season to discover
I love lazy mornings with no plans in sight for hours. They make me feel so calm. The kind where it’s 9 in the morning and everything feels light and airy because there is no rush of an appointment to get to. It’s Thanksgiving day and not only am I off work, but Manny is… Continue reading Grateful for the calm
I love this quote. You ever go down the rabbit hole of photos and just feel this deep nostalgia? Or listen to a song that just fills your heart with tender memories? I wouldn’t change a thing in my past. Not the heartache, disappointments, let downs by people I cared for deeply or looked up… Continue reading Sweet Moments
