Rambling on about time, tenderness, and learning when to step back and breathe… Life is changing. People are changing. I am changing. Some days everything seems to move in slow motion… others zoom by. I look up and another day is gone. Another week. Another month. Three-fourths of the year has slipped clean off the…

Rambling on about life and boundaries… Standing my ground. Life is a journey—although, if we are honest, it often feels less like a scenic train ride and more like assembling furniture without the instructions. We learn as we go, grow as we stumble, and hope the wisdom we collect will make the next stretch a…

While I do not share my poetry often here, rarely, to be exact. I don’t know why. It was how I started writing. I wrote to heal, and to clear my mind from the clutter of life. I wrote through my happiness, my memories, and yes… My grief. So, I have been nudged today because…

Rambling on about taking the time, the little things, and trusting… Every now and then, a body needs a little reminder: give yourself something small to look forward to. A good meal. A movie on the couch. A quiet cup of coffee before the world starts hollering. Time spent caring for yourself is never wasted…

Rambling on about Fear, History, and Humanity… When posed with the question, “What place in the world would I never want to visit?” my mind immediately begins to unravel a tapestry of thoughts and feelings rooted in history, personal experience, and a deep awareness of current events. It’s not simply about geography or culture; it’s…

Rambling on about Personal Exploration and Losing and Finding Expression… Words are my anchor. They’re the threads that stitch my day together, the bridge between my mind and the world outside. I’ve always been chatty—a lover of conversation, a collector of stories, someone who thrives on connection. Yet lately, I find myself treading water in…

Rambling on about To-Do List, Boundaries, Solitude, and Self-Care…. We all have a to-do list. Whether it’s scribbled in a journal, tapped out in a phone app, or jotted down mentally, these lists capture our intentions, goals, and responsibilities. Some items are routine such as chores, groceries, work tasks, but there are others that linger,…

Rambling on about Finding Solace and Strength in a Day for Myself… Sometimes, what we need most is just one day, one day to step back, breathe, and allow ourselves to simply exist without demands or expectations. Today, I gave myself that day. I minimized interactions, speaking only when necessary, and allowed myself the luxury…
