Shhhh… Don’t Say The P-Word!
It feels like I might be missing something in life. It can’t be a mid-life crisis. I am too young for that. Maybe it’s because I am not married, or because I don’t have children… Ok, a furry four-legged child… sorry Crash! It’s like that feeling when you hold a baby (which is very rare […]

I am driving to my favorite shop at the mall to search for something that will make me feel better. Ahhh, retail therapy. It begins wandering aimlessly for an item that I had no idea I couldn’t live without… nothing can compare to the rush you feel as you swipe your credit card. You feel alive! […]
Why Do We Say Hurtful Things To The Ones That We Love?
I tried to find a way to sugarcoat this title. Because for me, this one sentence, brings a flash of all the hurtful things that people have said to me, and all the whoppers that I’ve shot back… (Hey, I never said I was perfect! Ok, so maybe I am, but don’t hold that against […]
