Last year I said “best birthday ever”. Sometimes I have to be careful about the things I say because I just may one-up myself and wouldn’t you know, I sure as fuck did. One of my besties was kind enough to come stay with R so I could have a handful of days away. When […]
Spooky season magic Celebrated my babe’s 17th birthday on Friday the 13th: she got herself a much coveted eyebrow piercing, stek dinner, Deftones tickets and Knotts Scary Farm. I normally don’t go for haunts but that was a lot of fun. We need to do that again and next time when we’re both not nursing […]
Picking passion fruit in the front yard on a bright & warm day.An unexpected yet utterly welcome floral delivery.The symbolism of Autumn’s impending arrival with grocery store pumpkin sightings.Watching a spider bounce and weave her magic in the golden hour glow.The rain bringing in a petrichor scented breeze.

You are welcome to make me the villain in your story. You’re the clown in mine.
Summer thus far…. Solstice rituals and the return of stunning sunsetsWitnessing a run over body on the freeway with a carload of teenagers. An accident I came very close to being a part of but timing and fate chose otherwise. I still haven’t completely shaken that visual. Feeling more in touch with my body and […]
The block of time between April and May, without fail, has always been a flux of significance in my life. It’s when I got married, when that all came to a demise, when I started my new lease on life… I reflect a lot around this time of the year and well, this year wasn’t […]
The day crept in and then the reminder arrived. Three years ago today I was released from the legal confines of marriage. I won’t say it has been an easy journey, in fact, it is one of the hardest things I have ever had to do and one of the most painful experiences I have […]
