This Was Us- More and Less than expected

March 31, 2019

So I watch "This Is Us" a little behind everyone else.  Not intentionally, that's just how it happens.  

Well anyway, I was catching S3E16-Please Don't Take My Sunshine Away and I was triggered.  Not by the heartwarming hospital scenes between Toby and Kate, even t...

Originally written December 25, 2014.  I ended up injuring myself majorly on that run to catch my flight.  My first full day in Belize was spent in pain where I couldn’t even lift myself from the bed!  But using the local spirits (as in liquor) I pushed through.

Thankful Alone

November 23, 2018

My angel Neicy had been on my mind a lot lately. My recent move has me unpacking boxes that have been in storage for a few years. As I unpack the kitchen boxes I stumble upon the ‘friends’ tea set she gifted me one year.

Daddy’s Girl

May 30, 2018

That’s my pops.  His health and mental being are fading at a considerable rate.   

So a few weeks ago when I saw him for his birthday there were a few moments of clarity. In one of them he heartfully apologized for not being there as a father when he should have and no...

New Orleans - Foodies Unite

May 30, 2018

So many times people reach out asking about where to visit in the city that's close to my heart.  I compiled a list and have been forwarding it via email for years, I've decided to place it here for easy access and retrieval.  Please feel free to send me your feedback...

Not as it appears.

May 10, 2018

Yesterday was a rough day. I chose to self medicate and quickly go to sleep hoping to just not have to think about it all.
 

  

Looks like wine, but it’s moonshine.

Strange Fruit - Montgomery Lynching Memorial

May 5, 2018

Elderly woman in her wheelchair silently taking in the memorial.  


She stops at a particular county and pulls herself up to read the names. Then lets out a wailing cry that seemed to come from her womb, maybe her soul, definitely her heart. 


It was a member of her famil...

Today, I purchased pajamas.

April 4, 2018

I purchased PJs today y’all.  It’s really not a big deal until I realized why I had not worn nor purchased PJs since ... well I can’t remember.
