Random rantings of the misfit kind.
The other day, I had the most amazing discussion with an older woman, in her early 80s, named Joyce M. I met her at an alteration shop, and she watched as I tried on my bridesmaid dress, waiting to be pinned. She told me how beautiful it was, and we chatted about her wedding, and... Continue Reading →
Forgiveness. It's a word that's been on my mind for a couple of weeks now. I'd been contemplating whether or not I should write about it, and then Sunday morning, India Arie's cover of the song "Heart of the Matter" rolled through on Pandora, and then her song "Wings of Forgiveness" came on. So yeah, the question... Continue Reading →
What's your vision for 2015 and beyond? A friend of mine purchased a book for another friend, entitled, "One Word That Will Change Your Life", and, while I haven't read it (I plan to!), the idea is a novel one. What better way to keep yourself and your goals in sight than to give yourself... Continue Reading →
Every once in a while, we find ourselves lost, confused...feeling out of place. We look in the mirror, and all we feel is disdain and displeasure with the image reflected back at us. We feel insecure, unloved, depressed - every negative emotion and feeling available. And some days, it's seemingly impossible. We'll never find true... Continue Reading →
Every once in a while, we meet someone who seems to speak to our soul - perhaps even sing to it. And we try so hard to make that person fit into the vision of our future, ignoring the red flags, the doubts, the things we considered deal-breakers with others. For some reason, something in...

Dating, in this day in age, is difficult (as I've said in other posts, I'm sure, of which I'm also sure you're sick of hearing, but eh). Throw some kids in the mix, and you're just asking to be single until those little ones go off to college. Child-less people feel weird entertaining others with children,... Continue Reading →
I really hate the term "cuffing season", just as much as I hate what it stands for. To me, it just illustrates how shallow and self-centered our generation can be, how pathetic we can appear, and how anti-social we actually are in this "social"-media heavy society we live in. We spend seven to nine months out of... Continue Reading →
It's okay to be alone with yourself. That's what I've been telling myself for the past five days. It's human nature to want to be around people, connect with other souls (no matter how much you may tell yourself that you'd rather be alone). We crave conversation, shared experiences, love, companionship, all those good things.... Continue Reading →
It's so easy to a bitter, sour person when things don't go your way. Maybe you didn't get that promotion you wanted, or they left you out of the equation yet again. Maybe your archenemy just drove by in the car you wanted, or purchased the house you thought you'd be able to buy. Unfortunately, bitterness won't improve... Continue Reading →
