I was talking to a friend the other day who is having some struggles in a newer relationship. And even though they don’t help, all of the little pithy pieces of advice came to mind anyway (I didn’t say them). It’s really easy to take a look at someone and see exactly what the issue … Continue reading
I let him go. Really. I know too well what it’s like to be nursing a broken heart, thinking I’d do anything to get back with my former flame. I’ve thought of every tactic out there. Lonely months went by and I slimmed down to a ghostly version of my former, happy self. I alienated … Continue reading
I’ve been collecting quotes over at my personal blog for a long, long time now (about three years)! We’re all quote-nerds in the age of the internet. I love the way we have access to so many of them now, and the other night, I was scrolling through every quote I’d collected and was able … Continue reading
I felt it as soon as I woke up. “No.” I’d been going, going, going for a few weeks. I felt it in my bones, sure as anything – to all of the plans I had laid out for the day, my body was saying a strong “NO.” I’ve ignored my body’s “no” before, and … Continue reading
Has it ever happened to you? You had a bad day and go to bed feeling crappy. Upon waking the next morning, you dread going to work. Traffic is a nightmare, and once you’re at work, it feels like every difficult situation that could possibly arise magically does. You get home only to snap at … Continue reading
If you’ve been thinking that it’s been quiet around here, you’re right. Life had some pretty dramatic changes for me in the final quarter of 2012, and rather than force myself to write sub-par content to keep my posts regular, I listened to my intuition and stayed quiet while the dust settled. Now, I have … Continue reading
It happens to all of us, sweetheart. And it very recently happened to me. Things are humming along fine, and then – bam. A blow to the head. Suckerpunch. You didn’t see it coming. You’re blind-sighted. Knocked out cold. Flat on your back. Everything you’d been planning, dissolved. Ruined. Lost. O-V-E-R. It’s not the first time … Continue reading

Hope you have a chunk of time, ’cause this blog’s a big one! I think I went a little crazy with everything I wanted … Continue reading
How was your week? Mine was jam-packed; I can’t even believe it’s Friday already! If I had it my way, I’d post in Small Life, Slow Life every day. I was in fact just discussing this with some work friends after a staff meeting yesterday. We were talking (over mimosas!) about how a very small … Continue reading
It happened! It happened. I got all overloaded with work, I said yes to two big projects (one out of obligation, one because it thrilled my soul + was lucrative), I worked seven days straight without playtime. I got caught in my own trap. It happens to the best of us and it also definitely … Continue reading
