This blog is about something real. Something so difficult the only way I am ever going to understand it is to write it out loud. Saying it out loud makes it real. This blog is not going to be easy to read. Even for me. In fact, stop reading it right now and forget youContinue reading “The Thing I Think and Don’t Say”

I need a Tourniquet I’m feeling a little too delicate
I have a confession
Sometimes I wonder about my life. Sometimes I think its possible I don’t know anything about anything. Sometimes I think the way my children look at me is justified in asking the question they don’t dare utter- “Honestly why did you do this to me? I’m sure I have regular parents somewhere.”

When you Know More You do Better

A history stuck on repeat. A little girl with a tear stained cheek. Perception distorted, facial expressions contorted. And IContinue reading “When you Know More You do Better”
