Divine exhasustion...
Today, I put my parents to rest at Arlington Cemetery. I am so very tired, but really want to give a full account of the goings on. It was superb. It was amazing, and it was so wonderful to have my parents honored in such a way. It was done... Continue reading

From sadness to madness...
The healing is wonderful, constant, always flowing. The sadness is not so much now. However, the madness has begun to show. I was introduced to my anger again recently, and it's a mighty powerful and very sensitive thing. It is not to be taken lightly or ignored. I must learn... Continue reading

The ties that bind...
Part of my healing is letting people go. Most were easy, as they weren't a big part of my life. But there was one. One who had hooks on me from many years ago. The only way to free myself was by exorcising him from me. I wrote a letter... Continue reading

Rrrrrrip...
Today, I told my healer something I never thought I'd tell anyone. It was something that I felt guilty about uttering to the universe. Turns out all it was doing was hurting me. I'm finding my healing to be strange, wonderful and utterly maddening. How we lie to ourselves in... Continue reading

Fear itself...
I've come a long way, baby. At least that's what my healer tells me. I've done a lot of very large cathartic things, and have finally restored myself to some sort of level where I actually have a storehouse of energy to pull from and don't go through every day... Continue reading

Burn, baby! BURN!!
Today I burned someone out of my life. Literally. I thought I had excised him by throwing out all of his pictures earlier last year, but apparently not. He'd continue to show up in my dreams and in my decisions and in my depression. So, I was told to write... Continue reading

So THAT'S what you call doing your own thing...
I've hit the wall, so to speak. My energy resources are down. It's not a matter of having enough "get up and go" so much as about having the food for that "get up and go". I've lost weight. Yay! I'm learning to better efficiently use food to my advantage... Continue reading

The Journey continues...
Turns out this grieving thing is deeper than I think we ever allow ourselves to understand. I am seeing a Naturopath to help regain some semblance of balance. This includes a heart-felt talk, a short acupuncture session and taking some Chinese herbs. This woman I'm seeing is a jewel of... Continue reading

It's a bitch...
I am doing a new musical work. It's pretty cool to be involved in something that will not be what it started out to be. Again, I'm so thankful to have something to keep me plugging along. It gets rough. I still grieve hard. It gets rough. But then I... Continue reading

The truth hurts...
I had a wonderful day today. I met up with some of my favorite people and went to San Francisco for a day to meet yet another one of my favorite people for lunch, and whatever else our day fancied.
As one is wont to do in San Francisco, we... Continue reading

Home for the Holidays...
Many years ago when I was about 34-35, my mother had made up her mind. She said that Christmas and the Holidays were more for the little kids. That we should spoil the crap out of them, and not feel the need to purchase for the grow-nups. That the family... Continue reading

...and on we go...
Still in Maryland. Still chilin' out and am enjoying the extended chill out period. I am NOW realizing that I really needed this time to do nothing. And I do mean nothing. I haven't done a damn productive thing since I've been here. We had a wonderful Thanksgiving and we... Continue reading

Putting on the brakes....
I'm in my niece's apartment in Maryland listening to music, writing this post, and the kids, Aschelle and Aleiah are asleep...with their daddy who'll be going to work in a few hours. The TV is low in the background, and the apartment building is being buffeted by high winds that... Continue reading

I am a victim...
...of my own bullshit. For some reason, I believe that grief should have a time limit. A definite line that tells you, OK. You're done feeling lost now. Get on with it and get to work. Thing is, I'm continuing to do a lot of work in the background, it's... Continue reading

Back in the saddle (shoulder)...
When Mom died, it threw my life in enough disarray, that I had stopped socializing with my usual groups. I stopped Kung Fu, I had no choice but to sing, as I was in a show, but I had stopped most everything else for a good long while including knitting.... Continue reading

Begin catharsis...
Today I made a decision that basically turned my day pretty much upside down. I finally reserved my ticket to DC for Thanksgiving. Little did I know, what an emotional scab I just picked. It started me crying, which prompted some reaching out from friends (which was gratefully accepted). I... Continue reading

Looking in...
I watched the sunset tonight. It was beautiful, peaceful, wonderful. It made me introspective, as they are wont to do. What came from my experience is that we have to be thankful and grateful for all the bad things as well as the good. Every last bit of it. I... Continue reading

Stop, look and listen...
I am, blessedly, in Humboldt County for 6 days. It's a shame it's only 6, but you take what you can get. I arrived...about noon (left the house at 5:30am) so as to get the most out of my first day here. Which amounted to unpacking, heading to Ramone's for... Continue reading

Hurricane...
I think I've just come to the conclusion that life is a hurricane. You get caught up in the whirlpool, with the cars, the cows, the fenceposts and debris. Life in chaos. But you have a choice. You can choose to get as close to the eye as possible. Thing... Continue reading

Never say never...
So, I find myself in a position I never thought I'd be in. It's not the position I ever thought myself to be, but I do believe things in the past have led me here. It was most definitely my mindset. And still, I have no complaints, really. The lesson... Continue reading

People are LOSING THEIR SHIT over a gymnasts HAIR! WHAT IN THE EVER LIVING FUCK!!?? You want to know a fact? She probably wouldn't have been allowed... Continue reading

Turn and face the strain...
So, I just got back from helping to pack my childhood home. I took some stuff that was mine, that I wanted from either of my parents (We found my father's old shoe brush. He used shoe polish and hand polished his shoes all the time) and junk that I... Continue reading

To New Beginnings!
So, It finally became blatently apparent that I don't have a presence on a certain video conglomerate. And if I intend to benefit from it, I would have to do something. Now! Not later, now. And this is what I came up with. It speaks from the heart is honest.... Continue reading
