I am worthy of a life free of fear And I deserve to have someone I trust to pull me near Whisper "I love you" sensual and sincerely in my ear And not cringe from disbelief
Happy No Fear , original poetry
Back to life…back to reality…
It was the first time that I purposely chose not to try and "use" the time to cram in every library, museum or other extra curricular event that looked exciting and intriguing during the holiday break. They both get so over-worked (in my opinion) at school that I wanted them to just do nothing for a change.

Keeping it Real – Original Poetry 12/15/13
Will the calls and cards and letters Soak up every grief-stained tear Will his grandchildren cease to miss him At graduations and weddings from year to year
My Voyage to India (and not the Republic)!
I can't even put into words the overwhelming feeling that came over me walking, arm in arm with my niece, approaching the stage while Ms. Arie sang to a theatre filled with just us 25 or so VIP Experience guests. She waved to us and made us feel as if we were her BFFs sitting in her living room, and all I remember thinking is...how did this happen? How am I worthy?
I’m back!
It's been several months since I've written anything on my blog and I apologize to my loyal followers for the long absence.
I Hope You Dance…
I was so stressed during the day that my head hurt all over and I could feel the tension in my shoulders so intense that I could hardly turn my neck most of the afternoon. It's amazing how stress can sneak up and almost paralyze you, forcing you to take notice and counteract. I wanted everything to be perfect for my daughter's first time going to the dance with her dad, yet my body was screaming "what about me???!"
But for the Grace…
I know there's been so much that's already been said about the senseless killings of the Sandy Hook Elementary School children and staff, and so many early judgements about the killer, his family and why it happened. But I feel like I need to share the fear that came up for me and maybe for... Continue Reading →
My Angels always show up for the after-party…
It's just a part of my reality now. I've accepted the heartache that wells up inside my soul when the Mother's Day commercials start to pour in. Even though I am a mother, and I get my props this time of year from the media (and boy how that makes me feel valued!), I still... Continue Reading →
This is the best time of your life
"I just wanted to tell you to enjoy this time in your life to the fullest because these are the best days of your life." These words really hit home for me because aside from me taking my own personal inventory, I often wonder what others see when they look at the past year of my life. What do my ancestors think of me? What compliments or constructive criticism would they offer? Do they even see what's going on, and if so what's their perspective? With all of their wisdom, what advice would they give me for the coming year?
