It took me more than a couple of decades to realize that my ability to write, while quite natural to me, is not so easy for everyone else. That it really is one of my gifts. I’m honest enough with myself at this point to realize that I’m not the best writer in the world, […]
Ramblings
The “C” Word
Just as I inevitably thought, I got it. The “C” word that has altered our entire world as we know it. I’m not going to rehash my entire experience or even go into the details of how I was physically impacted. I will share that I have no idea where I picked it up and […]
Will the REAL Scott Benson Please Stand Up
You may find this hard to believe, but there is a real-life “Scott” in my world. He is loosely modeled after a real person, and many of the situations Scott faces my friend has been through, except the illegal stuff. Or, have I been sworn to secrecy? Ultimately, the story is a figment of my […]
Women Are Catty
Women are Catty That’s right. I said it, and I’ll say it again. Women are catty. Not all women. But in general. I’ve touched on this before, but I think it’s a subject we can talk about time and time again. I have a theory (yes, another one) that this stems from insecurity, ignorance, and […]

Game Day
Another short-lived, would be romantical escapade was referred to as “Game Day.” I met him at the car wash. We caught each other’s eyes, but I wasn’t really looking for anything. I had just let go of the idea of any involvement when I cut off “The Bag.” I hadn’t even been dealing with my […]
Hawaii (part 3)
Our family trip to Hawaii earlier this year was so epic that I had to split it up into several posts! I’ve been breaking it down by the day, activities, and whatever stood out about the experiences. I’ve tried to be a bit concise since there was so much that I absolutely loved about the […]
Story-Telling
I’ve always been a daydreamer, spinning stories, fairy tales, dramas, and all kinds of other stories in my head. Sometimes I’d keep a story going for days and put myself to sleep letting the story spiral and unfold night after night, picking back up where I left off the night before. I suppose that creativity […]
