A friend of mine says she only dates a man with facial hair, well I’m here to say that having no hair makes you very hair conscious – not in a good way – ear hair, nose hair, a wild hair – all of these things appear glaring to a bald woman. In an era where young men are shaving their testicles as a part of their daily grooming habits, why can’t the rest of…
February 02, 2013 Taurus (4/20-5/20) You locked eyes with someone recently who you are going to see again very soon — are you nervous? Don’t be. They are more interested in you than you think, although probably not in the way you envisioned. When it comes to getting to know them better, don’t overdo it. Don’t share everything about yourself in the first minute and a half. Let things unfold slowly and naturally. You should…
Is it morning or night when you wake up at 3AM? I’m not quite sure. But this morning, I was up and so I packed about seven boxes full of stuff. Stuff that I’m inclined to believe I have too much of despite a major purge back in October of 2011 when we first started renting via VRBO. Stuff that also has attached memories to it, much like the view out of my window this…
I was listening to Drew Barrymore talk about her life and how her experiences helped make her stronger. Well I concur, Drew, my life has shaped me into a survivor – forget about what from – just life in general I’ve survived is all I want to say. Today was the usual dose of the dosey doe – a little shrinking by E who continues to tell me that all the wrongheaded decisions I made…
A friend stopped by today, a singer who has that Abbey Lincoln sultry jazz voice. We were talking about karma – as I told her I just paid my debt for an affair I had now eight years ago – I paid that debt for seven hard years. So I’m done. I have no balance on my karma. She said do you really believe it was karma. I said since birth I was always someone…
Last night I went to a Waldorf parent teacher meeting and the eurythmy teacher, Jeremiah, walked us through a wonderful movement to Maya Angelou’s I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings. It was so wonderful, peaceful, exhilarating that I’m hoping he takes us up on our plea for adult eurythmy classes. I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings The free bird leaps on the back of the wind and floats downstream till the current ends…
January 30, 2013 Taurus (4/20-5/20) Since when did you get the idea that you could ever be a bother to your friends? No one expects you to go through anything tough alone … so if you’re feeling overwhelmed, under-whelmed, or just plain-old-blue, call up a friend for a chat and a giggle. Pick someone who knows you inside and out, so you’ll feel totally at ease and uninhibited. The engage in some back-and-forth. Leaning on…
A couple of days ago they took Ms. Marie to a nursing home. I’ve spent nearly eight years watching this woman walk around the bayou in a smelly coat and bubble hat in 90 degrees or 40 degrees. Ms. Marie was “almost” born on the bayou, she was born a few blocks from here and moved into her house when she was a year old. She lived there with her cousins living in the house…
I spent the weekend revisiting staying at the LaLa and what that would look like and so when a counter offer came on Saturday evening, I was suddenly back on the fence about what to do. Should I stay or should I go? The ultimate decision. A friend said to me, “What did it feel like when you thought about staying?” I said, comfortable, okay, and I began thinking about how to make it work.…
