Re-upping one of my favorite DIY projects. It still makes my heart skip a beat! 😍 One of our favorite things to do, besides art projects is to decorate. Always having more ideas than money, this was one of those times to use both skills. After a long marathon session of 9 X Design…
50 Years Of Learning
On September 3rd, I turn 50. Y’all, it’s weird as hell. It’s a number that doesn’t feel like it fits but I know I’ve been through a lot. In an effort to be somewhat introspective, I sat down to make a list of what I know so far. I don’t know if it will…
UPDATE: WOW, Time Flies! — Recurve Emma
YES. This is my baby. I am sharing her post today with you guys because, well, she’s flipping awesome and she deserves it! She is working on raising the last of what she needs, well, for a complicated reason. After an extending depression/anxiety period that begun in 2016, she began therapy. When things came up…
Food Memories
I wasn’t prepared for the flood of emotions when I opened the box from Borough Furnace this week. Winning something so well made is overwhelming. Cooking has been part of my life since I was very young, at my grandmothers’ side, learning everything I could about anything she did. Her chicken and dumplings got…
Past, Present and The Ghosts That Haunt Us
Please be advised there are trigger warnings for issues surrounding sexual assault, oppressive language, suicidal ideation, homophobia, abuse, abortion. “If I ever see that faggot again, I will fucking kill him.” I felt my stomach lurch. I was 13 and in the midst of a sexual awaking I didn’t…
Movie Season
One of the unexpected parts of becoming a member of Film Independent is that I am a voting member in the Spirit Awards. I am sure I was told that but deep in my work on my own screenplay, I haven’t looked up much in the last eight months. I finished the eleven digital screeners…
Here We Go Again!
Not gonna lie, the past 12 months have been some serious nightmare fuel. Combining that with some rather serious family health issues this last month, I think I have had all I can take. There is no way 2018 can beat me up the same. I can’t let it. I won’t let it. I have…
Dear @Pink
WOW. What a week its been, huh? I guess you know some folks got upset by your tweet advocating for the change of nature of the president. It seems you also got pretty offended at the idea that people thought you voted for him. In fact, it looks like you have surmised that…
Hey There New People
I am not sure how you found me, but pull up, stay a while. I don’t know if I have what you are looking for but I am pretty sure you will find something you didn’t expect. (For real tho…HAHAHA) You can read the “about” or dig around in the topics but here’s a quick…
Soldiers, Contractors and the Killing Of Hope
I typically post this stuff elsewhere but this is something I couldn’t get off my mind since the Op Ed from Erik Prince. Some segments of our society would like you to think that sending mercenaries into Afghanistan equates to privately funded space exploration. They would be wrong. The continued trickle of soldiers and…
