ALL

A broken heart. Most fear it. All try to avoid it. But I-I have lived my life with a broken heart. When I love, it is wholly- fully- ardently. I give everything and hold nothing back. More often than not, I am left alone and broken. Discarded. But with each break, something happens. More love…

Fear. Bewilderment. Anger. Confusion. And then, even more fear. It is a whirlwind of emotions. When your world is turned upside down and you were just barely surviving to begin with. Here is where we find out who we really are, and what we really made of. Here is where we must decide if we’re…

Hope is a funny thing. I believe it is what keeps us living this life. The definition of hope is an expectation. A trust in something. We all hope for things in this life. We expect them to happen to us eventually. Thus, we keep going, we do not give up. Even in the face…

I went on a pottery tour today and it evoked so much emotion in me I just had to share. As I walked in and beheld the beauty, I was mesmerized. There were coffee mugs that were etched with beautiful designs of trees, butterflies, even pansies. Each cup was unique. Even with the same “stamp”…

Stretch the capacity of the human heart…All too often we close our hearts to things that stretch us. That cause us to trust and give up control of a situation. I am convinced though that trust, and rest go hand in hand. In order to truly live we have to learn both- we cannot have…

A celebration of life renewed. A sign of spring which brings new life. What better day to begin again.I have spent much of my time regretting my past. Reliving my mistakes. Wishing for a different ending. But what if my ending were just the way it was meant to be. With every ending comes a…

It takes healing to be able to look at yourself and be completely honest about who you have been. With healing you realize that in some situations you really WERE the asshole. In some situations, you were an ASKHOLE (not listening to others and being completely stubborn in your ways). You can clearly see where…
