It only takes one, One reason, One idea, One person, One thing To make a difference. It only takes a moment, A thought, For events to fall into place, To thrive, To achieve, To inspire, To build. And even though it only takes a decision, A wrong move, An inopportune choice, To bring everything down, […]
The Power of Loss
It’s been hard living in the world mom created for us without her. Everywhere we go a memory ambushes us, reminding our broken hearts of the missing shards; of how much she would have enjoyed sharing in the fun. I can’t quite explain it. Four years into this motherless daughter journey, life feels more like […]
Petit Regret
I’m sorry for thinking that my love could save you, For not seeing the truth and its lies… For believing that in time you’d learn to love me too… I should’ve known better.
Be Whelmed!
The older brother sized hole in my heart is ever expanding. Ever present. All consuming. Impossible to ignore. So much love poured out of me and into the ether hoping it would find him well, like the emails and texts I would never be able to send. For as much as my father insisted he […]
As of 3/24/2023, I’m back with my former employer. Although my job in tech was fun, the timing was right to shake things up a bit. Big Tech was going full corporate and I wasn’t liking it.

He chose to say “yes” to every request that crossed his agenda, reserving some time to chill and explore how he felt after agreeing to experience new activities and […]
Love, Eternal
Today I lost another friend to doubt and indifference; to social norms impossed by others; to the cruel reality of adapting to change and overcoming fear. I struggle to see the need of the inflicted pain, Of the perceived life’s lessons; The need to judge a person and deprive them of forgiveness for following their […]
Ether
I feel him, In the darkness… A glimmer. Hope? Love? Lost or found? It sure feels like the end. It was foolish of me to claim his heart, Even after he claimed mine. Without love, what was given can never be returned. What was owed can never be repaid. Perhaps one day we’ll realize how […]
The 9th House On The Right
There’s been one constant in my life; one undeniable and certain truth. Whenever I was feeling blue, happy or plain homesick there was one place in the world I could count on to remain the same: Grandma’s. It was 1960something… Layo and Delia settle on a one story, 1000 sq ft, cement and rebar beauty […]
