There Are Warriors Of All Kinds
“You can close your eyes to things you don’t want to see, but you can’t close your heart to things you don’t want to feel no matter how hard you try.”
That quote is in reference to just some of the things I have been feeling quite deeply lately. I’ve had a lot on my mind, [...]
Sex Addict Serial Cheater or Just a Jerk
This time of year has historically been a difficult challenge, especially in terms of love and relationships. Over the course of my dating life the transition from fall to winter has not only been seasonal but also deeply emotional for me. I often try to block out the reasons why this occurs. Like I won’t [...]
A Labor of Love
The first few months following my daughter’s birth were an absolute whirlwind. Primarily a result of my increasing insecurity, exacerbated by semi-crippling anxiety about whether or not I’d be the best parent I could possibly be for her. I worried that our bond would be negatively impacted if our legal relationship, especially, was to never [...]
Deciphering A Purpose
Every day I reflect on the person I am becoming.
A constant work in progress I used to call myself, but it’s more like a constantly evolving process in which I’m resolving my former doubt – living life as I know how.

I met my karma head on. After all, it was mine - I earned it, I deserved it, I knew it was coming and so I braced and prepared myself for the world [...]
Relationships: Cancer Changes Everything
(circa 1998)
Where is my will
Where has my spirit gone
Flown away like a dove
Released and peaceful
Yet I am not pure

Always the occupant
Of mortal thoughts
Imperfect premises
Must it be this way
A constant contemplate…
We went from being at peace to declaring war in a matter of days. I absorbed the shock the best way I knew [...]
Breast Cancer Blues
I have often been asked to write about particular topics, as those who know me know that my life has been an eventful one, and I usually have distinct knowledge of the subject matter in question.
At last I have come to a turning point where I’ll be addressing subject matter that is not foreign to [...]
Who I Am
I am a hoarder; of secrets, thoughts, wants and desires. Of good books and journals. The way a beautiful woman’s smile – lightens a mood, a home, sparking memories that I’ll never forget. Long gone are meaningless sentiments that have often been disregarded. I’ve done nothing in my power to forget the past tense, ’cause of all the [...]
