I stand here in my kitchen today slowly but surely getting Thanksgiving food prepared. The turkey is in the oven smothered and stuffed with butter and herbs, and the rolls are sitting out rising, awaiting their turn to be baked. Next comes the pie, I can’t wait for that.

A puddle of fears, a mountain of tears
Sitting in silence the body and mind at war. Fight and flight responses firing at once. Fighting is impossible, With flight, there is no escape. Filled with torment and hate. Internally screaming with anger and rage Panic ensues when boundaries are broken How foolish I’ve been And how foolish I am. False hopes and dreamsContinue reading “A puddle of fears, a mountain of tears”
You like music don’t you?
Honestly who doesn’t like music? In some form or another we hear music everyday. It’s a part of every culture, no matter where you go.

A sign?
So I recently posted about losing our beloved family rabbit, Rupert. We had him only one short year, but he made a huge impact on us. He passed away from health issues that I just couldn’t fix no matter how hard I tried, and believe me I tried hard. If you didn’t read, or remember,Continue reading “A sign?”
The hammock
The summers air feels soft against my face Two pairs of tiny toes against me as we sway The precious tired stares from within my arms, The sweet sleepy face beside me. I would live in that exact moment for eternity, and I would never want for anything more. This hammock, this moment, these souls…Continue reading “The hammock”
