My little girl favors friction and challenging others’ ideas. One day her ideas might be the best ideas in the room. One day her opinions, admiration, or approval will be sought after. It’s up to me to help her direct that energy into constructive outcomes. She will be a person that’s compassionate and forgiving with…

My parents are officially the only people living on their street. I feel the remainder of the block’s western lands upon which Castle Twin Pines now sits should be given to my Lord Father and the Lady JoAndrea to include the southern hill of Hickory Street unto the Bend of Two Hand Touch at the…

This evening, I told a friend’s 16 year old son “Statistically, 1 out of every 6 females in your school will become a professional dancer.” Was that statement fabricated and irresponsible? Absolutely. Did I tell him that because it was funny or because it’s exactly the kind of thing adults told us as kids? Both.…

Today, I understand that longevity is not enough reason to preserve a relationship. Relationships are important to me. I’m a people person and people pleaser. It’s tough for me to let go of people. I don’t want to do it. I want to breathe life back into it. I want it to survive. I’ve invested…

Today, I realized I haven’t had the kids for Halloween. I think we’ll just pick whatever weekend we want and where costumes. Because why not?

Advice to Me: Control what you can control. Don’t lose sleep over what you can’t
