PROCRASTINATION

This will be short… apologies… that is all.

As a young woman, I spent most of my days just trying to fit in with whatever crowd I found myself adjacent to; even now I still find myself struggling NOT to do that. Honestly? I’ve never felt “a part” of anything. I’ve always felt as if I float through this life alone. Now whileContinue reading “Sexual Wampum~2”

Who You Are

I watch my granddaughter learning to navigate the world around her. I’m told she looks a lot like me, fair skinned, thick hips and thighs. She has a quick smile and deep, deep dimples. She is an open slate, or more plainly ~ an open target. I made up my mind when I first sawContinue reading “Who You Are”

HELLOOOOOOO!

It’s been 4months since I last wrote to you. Apologies! So much has been going on with me. The kids are well, the hubby is well, I am well. The weather is hot! I feel like breaking into Gladys Knight’s version of “The Way We Were”. As I mature, I find myself remembering, ME. IContinue reading “HELLOOOOOOO!”

Sexual Wam Pum

Well, today was our last “session”. Periodically I speak with young women who have questions about marriage. She’s getting married in a few days and well, she still didn’t understand why I wasn’t as excited about it as she wants me to be about it. Experience has taught me the signs of pending heartache. Am IContinue reading “Sexual Wam Pum”

And the God of peace will be with you. 10 Now I rejoice greatly in the Lord that at last you have revived your concern for me. You were indeed concerned,but you had no opportunity to showContinue reading “…Learned To Be Content…”

Hail and Farewell!

I truly don’t know how to feel. It’s odd. The only thing I can compare it to is seeing my grandfather cry back when John F. Kennedy was killed. I remember that my entire street and then my church cried. I didn’t get it then, because I was young, but I did get that something wasContinue reading “Hail and Farewell!”

Me encanta el pan

I’m using an amazing app called Duolingo to chip the rust off of what I know about the Spanish language. I must say that it is truly helping me to remember and learn new things. It is set up like a game and yes you gain points that can be used to purchase other areasContinue reading “Me encanta el pan”

Rose by any other name…..

“What’s in a name? That which we call a rose / By any other name would smell as sweet.” Sigh, Many years ago, I realized that the name of the post, must grab the attention. Then the first paragraph must hold the attention. It is then in the hands of the reader to kill orContinue reading “Rose by any other name…..”
