As this year comes to a close, I’ve been spending time reflecting on work, loss, resilience, and how perspective is shaped by circumstance.

RIP, Mom
She was complicated. I could put a lot of adjectives to describe her. Some more bad than good. But for now, I will sit with all the good moments and memories I had with her and the good things I learned from her. She influenced my life so much and I let her know a […]

Go home little bird go home. Your place is now up in the sky with your loved ones that await you. Go home and release all your cries. Your pain went beyond your wings. You’ll never recognize the damage that’s been done. I’ve been told you were difficult even when you were young. All I’ve […]

Read MoreMemories through a Photograph – Innocence Lost

Read More1yr anniversary – R.I.P. Dad
I saw this at the mall and it spoke to me. I probably have a connection to it because it has water, looks like it was taken under the sea. And, I probably feel a close connection because I’m such a Pisces, water girl, mermaid. I even take baths, a couple a week, and they […]

Rest in peace, Dad (12/9/1933 -12/22/2016) So thankful for who you were and who you evolved to be. “I love you so much, too.” My dad was a man who had four girls, me being the youngest. He was a strong, funny, and sometimes quiet man. He was a man who loved football (soccer) and was […]
