Ever feel like you…just don’t have much to say? Or the words don’t flow? Or you have too much to say or don’t know where to begin? Or you are afraid you’ll say too much? Or you are simply tired and cannot put two sentences together in a way that would [...]

I want you to be my love
I want you to be my love
Neath the moon and stars above
I want you to be my love
I want you to know me now
I want you to know me now
Make a promise; make a vow
I know you want me now
Like I want you
Like I want you
I want you to [...]

Here in my unraveling, I am chasing my own thread.
And I own my own part
I own my own part
My part of your broken heart.

Six straight hours of back to back meetings today; over seven hours on Monday. And what I am left with is the thought “I love people.”
I may technically be an introvert…and thus need my “down” time but I truly, truly love people. I love working with them, I love interacting, I love the exchange of [...]

Having someone love you unconditionally – having someone know the worst about you and still say “I love you” and knowing that they do and that they accept you and think you’re amazing – that is the best thing in the world.
Or at least right up there. ;p

Sometimes the most loving thing to do is to remain silent.
And to walk away.
And sometimes that’s one of the toughest things to do.

When are you going to make up your mind?
When are you going to love you as much as I do?

My roommate is the best. She has been gone this weekend and left me love notes that were either loving or absolutely hilarious - one in my laptop, one in my printer, etc. ;) Then this morning, I get an email from her, ending with the following:
Hope you have a good day! Drink [...]

Dan: So what were you doing Friday night?
Christy: Had dinner at Inn Season and then went to a baby shower.
*pause*
Christy: Yes, my friends are bearing children now.
Dan: (laughing) “BEARING CHILDREN”?!? - Christy, in 2008, we call it “having kids.”

Thirteen years ago, in the early morning hours, I finished packing my mom’s suitcase and waved to her as Dad drove her off to the hospital to have my second brother (my fifth sibling at the time). I was a pro and excited that I’d have another baby to hold and play with - new [...]

I bought a paper cutter and cute, little silver binder clips for work and I am all excited to use them today. *grin*

I have the apartment to myself this weekend.
I miss Becca.
Last night, after work, I met up with Andrea at my [...]

“authentic love is about how much you can give”

The woman is amazing.
Made me cry tonight. Granted, I’m utterly, utterly exhausted from a long, wonderful, productive workday and a good walk/workout tonight…my whole body aches in that grand fashion after you’ve worked it. I still have a million things I want to do [...]

Thinking of hate crime laws and baby clothes and just wanting to play hooky because it’s a GORGEOUS day today!!
Went out with a friend for lunch…well, sort of…we went baby clothes shopping for another friend’s shower tomorrow, but we grabbed a coffee (I must admit I’ve switched to tall, non-fat, chocolate cappuccinos now when I [...]

Remember those deliciously lovely childrens’ stories of animals that come out and play in the middle of the night? “Indian And the Cupboard,” “The Mouse and the Motorcycle,” etc…?
My home office/bedroom looks right now like World War III took place last night while I was sleeping. *grin* The rest of my apartment is [...]

♫ the human spirit is eternal and frail;
can we accept its bounds?
it’s frightening to offer oneself without walls;
how can we love unless we tear walls down?

I’m absolutely in love with Kefir!!!! In love.
The health benefits, the taste, everything.
I’ve wanted to try it for years and years and years (literally) but just randomly picked it up last weekend and I’m hooked. =)
It’s a cousin to yogurt and extremely good for you and loaded with protein, ten active cultures, blah blah [...]

Thanks to my beautiful and lovely roommate, Becca, for introducing me to the below quote.
The Authority of Compassion
Mostly we think of people with great authority as higher up, far away, hard to reach. But spiritual authority comes from compassion and emerges from deep inner solidarity with those who are “subject” to authority. [...]

Last week was a rough week and I have a few hard things to get through this week.
Life ain’t always a box of chocolates.
;p
By any means.
I’ll be thankful once Thursday comes. At least that’s the plan. Until then, I have a few major issues and meetings on my plate to address.
