The preamble to proposal

This was something I wrote a few months ago when Jon and I first returned from Oregon. It’s remarkable how things grow:) MARRIAGE TALK We have now talked about marrying one another more so than I have with any other suiter….combined. This morning we discussed what weddings meant to both of us while nibbling on [...]

Cornucopia-Part 2

The following was submitted for a short story contest last year. Some of you may not think it’s very short, but there are certain spirits that can speak to you while you read it, if you let. I hope you enjoy. CORNUCOPIA                           [...]

Cornucopia – Part 1

I have been in the process of cleaning out my life for the past few months. Last week I made a donation to Goodwill: five boxes of clothes/accessories, sporting equipment, and a printer. This past weekend, I consolidated three boxes of pictures into one, by shredding duplicates and memories that no longer serve me. As [...]

How much do you want it?

Do you ever have a seemingly innocent conversation with someone, but walk away with this one line that you just can’t seem to get out of your head? A line that somehow turns into this alarm clock in your brain. It starts repeating loudly as it lulls you from your comfortable bed, forcing you to [...]

Mom Mary’s Magic Medicine

After much deliberation, I have decided to share a draft with you, my readers. I figured if you are loyal enough to read my daily thoughts, than you qualify as the perfect critics for one of my upcoming endeavors. As many of you may know, I am dabbilng with composing a few children’s stories. This [...]

Rant about Cox

Before you let your mind stray into naughty land, this entry is about bills, bills, bills. It’s a fact that if you use a service, you are expected to pay for the convenience. However, I hate it when the billing cycles get all mixed up. Last month’s Cox bill was due on June 7th. I [...]

The difficulties of dinner

I love food. What Cajun doesn’t? More importantly, I love GOOD food. Not just good tasting, but good for me. There are multiple concerns to decipher given these conditions. #1. COST. Why does healthier eating cost so much more? Probably because there are more human working hours tending to the care of my nourishing food, [...]

Domesticated Training Wheels: the Mission

SO here’s the idea. My life has taken a grave turn since graduation. It’s cliche in almost every way. Find a job, somewhat settle down, learn about domestic living. It’s a part of my life that I have yet to master. And I had been very down about it. See, I was ready for a [...]

Moving Her-story

I’m not exactly sure , but I think my obsession with “Lost” has propelled me into an alternate reality. One where things out of the ordinary happen and my path is illuminated every day. This timeline that I’m now on is perfect and I feel very connected to my own island. However, instead of the [...]

The Orange Juice Philosophy

An editorial I wrote two summers ago: I have come to understand that I live my life by various philosophies. It allows me to bend my own rules instead of having to defend strict beliefs. Maybe, I don’t really like to be wrong and I like to leave some space to play. Recently, I started [...]
