2017 was a long year for me. I didn’t have much to say overall, as is evidenced by my unusual lack of blog posts. It was a difficult year, full of events, failures, rejections, and encounters I’d like to put behind me. It was not all bad, though, there were shining moments of happiness and […]

The one thing I don’t like about my life is that is intermittently, against my will, chaotic. I get stuck in ideas sometimes – trying to figure out the point of these situations. I know, intuitively, that there is a reason for those experiences, but I have a hard time just accepting that the “ah-ha moment” […]

So, this morning I am thinking about humans and our need to judge others by our own fickle standards. I was already kind of thinking about this as I did my morning trudge; I’d been considering the frustration I feel at the automatic mental comparisons I do every day. Not because I want to, but […]

I remember the first time I wished upon a star. I’d watched Pinocchio for the first time after my siblings and I received it on VHS at Christmas. I was four and a half years old – sitting in the back of a minivan, settling in for an hour long ride to evening church. I […]

I’m not big on making resolutions. Realistically, this is because I can’t control anything other than what I do TODAY. Truthfully, I can’t control anything other than what I do THIS VERY SECOND. So, I don’t like making resolutions, because I know I’ll fail in at least a few of them simply because I can’t […]

I once had a guildmate in Everquest called Freerolling. He was a friendly male halfling, and took me under his wing as a fellow halfling. This may or may not have had anything to do with my shapely halfling female avatar, her irresistible Leia-like hair of bright red, gray eyes blazing with mischief, and dainty […]

I woke up this morning to find myself snuggled up to a warm, snoring child and to hear my dog, Sam, whining at my bedside. I got up and followed him to the back door and opened it to let him out. He stuck his nose out the door, then promptly turned around and trotted […]

Awake when I shouldn’t be, I feel sad and alone. I don’t know that I feel “lonely”, per se, where I need other people’s companionship… but I feel Alone. Like there is nobody to understand me. And, the truth is, there is nobody in my life to understand me. I get so tired of living […]

I like waking up with a smile on my face. Good dreams will do that to me every time. To me, a good dream is a happy and funny dream where unexpected things happen, I say completely senseless things, understand similarly senseless things other people say, then exit the dream feeling happy and upbeat. I like […]

This evening, I will perform live for a large group of strangers for the first time in 11 years. Strangely, I feel absolutely no nervousness. In the past, even last year while recording my album, I felt nervous and anxious about performing music. Today, I just feel happy and exuberant. I feel like today is […]
