Saturday started out pretty rough.
Words for a writer are like paint for a painter and wood for a carpenter. Heart and Soul would rot of death if they had no access to the written word. Had I been stricken with this awful disease before typewriters graced the tips of calloused fast fingers, if I had [...]

Day 3: “I would hurl words into this darkness and wait for an echo, and if an echo sounded, no matter how faintly, I would send other words to tell, to march, to fight, to create a sense of hunger for life that gnaws in us all.”

I’m not a rock, anymore. I’m a person.

First, a funny post about my son, written by my hubby, Hal.

Got an e-mail from Sarah a few days ago, hitting Liz and I up for a dinner date at a vegan restaurant. It took a couple of days to respond because I’ve been feeling so despondent about everything. When I got the e-mail, it [...]

As I was walking Camus tonight, I passed my neighbor’s porch and had to fight the urge to bum a cigarette from her. I wanted to sit, smoke, and spill my inner life onto a porch swing. To someone who could wave at me as I strolled back into my home. Her, my age, [...]

Since last week, I’ve been feeling a bit on the low side. I’d even go as far as to say I’ve been depressed. I’m going to be making some long overdue appointments that have been put off [since having children] in hopes of gaining a clear picture of what is going on with my health. [...]

Not a whole lota’ new or exciting has been happening around here. I had a mini-bout of depression last week leaving me feeling like a pretty big looser for no other reason than, I’m not doing anything with my life right now. When I finally got a chance to share my self-loathing thoughts with [...]

One. Week. Left.
Max starts school in a week. I can not tell you how relieved I am about this. He is really in need of playmates and attention in a way that I can not fulfill. His energy level is through the roof and I’m always way low to the ground. Fortunately, Bella seems to [...]

I’ve hit an energy wall. The lack of sleep, disconnection from my husband, and Bella’s constant suffering has thrown me into a state of depression.
There is absolutely nothing worse than watching your baby suffer. I have done everything I know how to do. I just set an appointment with a homeopathic practitioner (despite [...]
