Maybe Not So Bad

Andrew’s been away. And so I’ve spent quite a few nights and days solo

The Trappings

I like nice things, of course, who doesn’t right?

Because Sometimes I Forget

I’m so lucky – but sometimes I forget.

When it Rains it Pours

That saying is so true.

Truly The Best Gift

An evening spent with two friends.
Both of whom respect me, accept me, and love me.

F*** It!

There’s this thing that happens…when you think about something for too long.  It becomes the only thing you think about. It takes on a life of it’s own. So what you need to do is take that thing – whether it be a person, an event, a job, whatever – take that thing and say. “F**k it!”


You can only be worried and thinking about it for so long. Take it and put it in a tiny box in your brain and forget about it.  Trust that it will turn out for the best, or that you can whether the storm if that’s what it becomes.

We only have so much control and so much say over the events in our lives and the actions of others.
I say that we choose to smile and let live.
That means let ourselves live and trust that those people/events will be as they should.

Don’t Text, Call.

 I used to hate the phone.  I hated it because you couldn’t see the person when you talked to them.
I love those moments when you sit – coffee shop, park, whatever – and a silence falls.


People fear silence, but I love it.  There’s a silence that happens when there is comfort.  There’s a silence that happens when you sit with someone – friend or lover – and neither of you feels the need to speak but can instead sit there in each others presence.

That is the best. But now texting has come. And I text a lot. A lot. And I miss the phone.  I find myself missing the call and talking to someone. Hearing their voice and hearing the silence. Texting is even further away from that elusive presence sitting.

So call me. Don’t text. Don’t ever text.

The Kiss

Arnhem-Maxi-Dress-womens-boho-fashion

Kiss.  The kiss.
Lips touch and universes are born.  That’s how kisses should be.


They can be tender.  Passionate.  Desperate.
Gentle. Rough. Playful.
Romantic. Soft.

But whatever they are, whatever you make them, make them moments when two people come together for a brief moment in time.
Make them moments that freeze a heartbeat.

Make them moments when universes are born. Even if only for just one brief second.

Go kiss someone.

Here’s To Our Friendship Flaws

Spell-Shorts-Arnhem-Kimono-Star-Wars-Tee-Boho-Style

I have very imperfect friends. Some overshare, some drink too much sometimes, some say stupid things at the most inopportune moments, some can be harsh …basically they make mistakes and have flaws, and are human.

All of them are well meaning, and caring, and accepting, and honest.

I can tolerate a lot as long those things are present. Tolerate isn’t the right word. A lot of things don’t bother me because of the presence of the others – that’s a better way to put it. In fact, I count on my friends being imperfect, because that means that they’ll hopefully be forgiving of my own imperfections. Of which I have many, and I try to surround myself with people who will forgive me when I say/do something stupid at the most inopportune of moments knowing that I probably don’t mean it, because I’d like to think I’m well meaning, caring, accepting, and honest.

On the Road Again

Arnhem-maxi-kimono-lace-romper-fedora

On my bike that is.  My bicycle is tuned up and on the road. I know, I know, some people continue riding all year ’round. I admire those people…..those crazy people. Me? I like to ride my bike when it’s warm – ride all around the city – but not when it’s cold. So there’s this moment in Spring that occurs when the days are reliably warm enough that me and my bike are traipsing about town getting errands done.

It’s also really cool to be able to do that first 30 km ride and be totally fine afterwards.  Here’s to cycle season!
