Random rantings of the misfit kind.
Every single year, around December 31st (give or take a few days), many of us begin to think about what we've accomplished that year, and what we want to do the following year. Some people set resolutions (I've written a post about that in the past), others abhor the thought of resolutions and "resolve" to... Continue Reading →
What would happen if you decided to love yourself? Like, really love yourself? What if you woke up in the morning and, instead of being frustrated that it's all starting over again, you were determined to face the day and enjoy being you? That you woke up with a song on your lips, a little... Continue Reading →
There are moments in your life in which you'll feel lost, unfocused, unmotivated, unambitious. It will seem like everything you want and dream of is always just out of reach. You will be filled with indescribable pain - pain that doesn't radiate from a clear point, but is felt intensely just the same. Your appetite... Continue Reading →
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 →
It's very easy to run away from and avoid the reality of our lives. It's even easier to harbor hatred and feigned indifference, than it is to examine ourselves and determine the role we've played in the demise of something that was once deemed important and beautiful. Hatred is not a clear-cut emotion, but is... Continue Reading →
I feel as if I haven't written about relationships in a while, and the inspiration hit when I was having a discussion with a friend on the way home from work today. We were dissecting something I'd read that examined being attracted to and attracting unavailable people (both physically and emotionally), and ultimately, forging faux-lationships with...

...when you're stuck in a moment of pain, doesn't it feel dramatic to you? Doesn't it feel that no one could ever understand the shattering of your soul...?
A week ago, I was honored to provide an inspirational post for an awesome event in CT, "The Phenomenal Women Panel". It's been a couple of weeks since I've posted on the site, but I wanted it share this one with you all. Enjoy! Earlier today, my third grader was telling her brother and me a story...

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 →
Today, I've taken the time to reflect on what has occurred in my life over the past 365 days (and I urge you all to take a few moments between the partying to do the same). This past year has put me through many tests, of my resiliency, my loyalty, and my heart. I've learned... Continue Reading →
