2022: New Year, New Me?
January 1st, 2022 I love new beginnings. A fresh season usually begins with a moment where, whether we choose it or not, something that wasn’t meant to carry on ends and something new takes its place: moving to a new city, starting a new relationship, welcoming a little life into the world, launching your first business, etc. They’re occurrences that are noteworthy enough to effect the trajectory of our lives. And while those events happen sporadically to each of us from time to time, I think there’s something inspiring and rather enticing about being given the opportunity, along with all humanity, to accept the invitation to make this the new year, new me.

The Hurt of Not Writing
Yesterday I didn’t write , but I wanted to . This wasn’t writer's block (I have written a piece on how I deal with this here), this was something else. Normally I can write about anything , a piece of junk I found in the street , something I found at the bottom of a rucksack , a person I have met , an album or book I like , or something that happened to me in the past.

The Church Robbed me of Motherhood
My unexpected journey of motherhood began about 10 years ago in July of 2011. I never expected to be pregnant. I only took a pregnancy test for the heck of it. I remember that my exact reason for “peeing on the stick” was just to see what it would say.

What They Don't Tell You
On today's episode of "I didn't want to feel today, but here I am..." I thought to myself as I scrolled through various social media. "Social" being the farthest from the truth to me. I found myself scrolling again through recommended friends on Facebook. It wasn't hard to get lost in the lives of people you used to spend so much time around.

A walk with the darkness
I learned years ago not to put all of my thoughts into the digital realm. Especially when I am not in my right mind. It seems when I take drugs another side of me surfaces and many things start to happen at once. The one thing that happens is my thoughts become confusing. I then begin to have dreams every time I close my eyes. Sometimes I feel as though the dreams are visions of a future that is unclear. Other times it is like I am somewhere else completely. There are times when I felt like my eyes were opened while dreaming because I felt awake in the dream itself. I don't remember what I was doing before the dream started and I wake up expecting to be in the same location I was in during the dream but I'm not. It is a strange feeling to have. You wake up disassociated from the reality you last remembered.

Can We Please Just Get Along?
Does everything really have to be so tense? Here's a scenario that should be completely innocuous: we had our kitchen cabinets painted this week. The painting contractor, a very nice man whose services we’d used several years ago, gave us an estimate that made our eyes pop, but that’s what good work costs these days. And his guys were good. They showed up on time, pretty much, every day, and did their work with care and skill. They treated us, our possessions, and our house with respect.

2022 will be my year!
New Year, New Me. Sounds so cliché, I know that. But I feel like 2021 was such a great year (At least the second half of it). And it ended with so many opportunities for me to grab in this new year. Let me tell you why I believe 2022 will be my year.

Dimensions
When we think of dimensions, we think of other worlds in fantasy novels or movies. We don't think of the parts of our brains that hold memories, past, present and what will pertain to the future. We do not realize that our brain is more mysterious than meets the eye.

Predictions for 2022
So, I've been doing this for a few years. Let's jump in to this one. Judy Heavenly is amazing she gets a lot right, and she gives specifics. So this year I will only do her predictions. She believes Covid-19 will make its way out by the end of 2022. Judy thinks there will still be state and local flare-ups in US but life will return to the post-pandemic normal. She thinks 2022 will be a new reality or world with a re-shaped economy. She also thinks people will change their long-held beliefs as they adjust to the new society trying to get back to normal.

How Do You Like Me Now?
When I was in 5th grade a classmate and I decided to write a novel. I can’t remember what our novel was about. All I remember is that I would write a chapter and then I would hand it over to Tonya and she would write a chapter. Then I would read over what she wrote and do my best to follow in line. It was kind of like telling a story over a campfire with a stick that they passed to the next person to expand the story.
