I’ve been doing a lot of introspection the last couple of weeks. Candidly, I’ve been doing a lot of introspection the last couple of years. The me before my divorce and the me after are two completely different versions of me. Both versions are good people. But the me now is a lot less judgmental,Continue reading “The Final Stage.”

I was awoken this morning around 3am by the sound of Bub throwing up. After cleaning it up and coming back to bed, it was then I realized  – in all her 15 year old glory – Coco had peed the bed. I got up, stripped the bed and went to go sleep on theContinue reading “Run From The Universe.”

There’s no other word that comes to mind than “sacred” to describe September 11th. I didn’t post anything about it yesterday, but it’s impossible not to reflect on where I was every hour of that day and the feelings surrounding it and myself. It is still unfathomable to me and to this day, I still struggle wrappingContinue reading “September 12”

As many of you know, I have been pretty public about my adventures in online dating as of recently. No one I know enjoys it – I certainly don’t, but I am trying to put my best foot forward and put a comedic spin on this. Anyone who has participated in this incredible sociological experiment canContinue reading “Single For Life?”

Both Chris and I are surprised she is still kicking, but elated, nonetheless. We got her when she was 3 or 4, so part ofContinue reading “A Dog’s Heart.”

My longest relationship (outside of family) is going on 22 years.  The one consistency in my life since I was 18 has been the gym and working out. I fell in love with lifting when I was introduced to the sport of crew in college. Part of being on the crew time was sessions inContinue reading “My Safe Place.”

My favorite people are funny people. And they don’t need to be stand up comedy funny. Sneaky funny people are DEFINITELY my favorite. Those. THOSE people are my people. The unsuspecting quiet ones where they may say something discreet that you really have to pay attention to that make me laugh harder than anyone.  OneContinue reading “Laughter Is The Shortest Distance Between Two People.”

I’m fortunate enough to have an abundance of people in my life who inspire me regularly. And not for the typical reasons. While some get inspired by the uber successful, I try to look at things from a different vantage point.  Everyone struggles. Everyone. Everyone has their stuff and everyone has their path. In theContinue reading “The Inspiring”
