Between getting my ass kicked by my editors, having a tiktok finally hit FYP, and starting a new hair color journey, my life has been packed with a lot of ups and downs. Ups have included getting back into climbing with a partner, and starting to prepare for a trip this next month, and beginning... Continue Reading →
introducing Profligate Truth…
The countdown has officially started. It is just over two months until my book is officially released. It drops on Amazon, both a Kindle edition and in paperback form. I am currently waiting for the last round of edits to come back to me, and then the book will go off to one more edition... Continue Reading →
the magnificence of anger…
As I sped through the edits and restructuring I had to do for my book, I felt rising anger as I, yet again, dove deep into the actions of my parents. I went from 11 chapters, to 30 chapters, and cut a significant amount out. I made sure their accomplishments and skills were not highlighted... Continue Reading →
a different kind of january…
It's almost halfway through the month, and I am already have multiple things beginning to spin into motion. This is the first time I have entered a January and not been triggered and traumatized. This has been the first January in 8 years that I haven't been dreading what the month will bring. This is... Continue Reading →
blessed yule & winter solstice
Today is the beginning of Yule and the Winter Solstice. That downward path that started at Samhain has completed it's decent and now we begin the climb back to the light. I truly do adore this time of this year, and those feelings have been so much more accessible this year than previous years. I... Continue Reading →
musings & wonderings…
I spent two hours yesterday at my kids' school, sitting in a room with a whole team of people. The purpose was to go step by step through a document for my youngest. The day before, I had been sent the entire 15 page document, and by the time I was done reading through it,... Continue Reading →
i know who i am…
We're nearly halfway through December, and this month so far has been an exercise in contemplating the things I've learned in 2022. When I think about where I was a year ago, to where I am today, I am grateful despite all of it. And for the first time in probably forever (literally cannot think... Continue Reading →
a decision reached…
Taking some time to decide what I want to do with this space has frankly done nothing to assuage the anger I've felt. The gamut of emotions has run from anger and fury to sadness and then finality and peace. Finding my mother's letter to me from 2013 reconfirmed why someone attempting to censor me...

broken boundaries…
I have been writing online in some form for a decade and a half. For 5 of those years, I wrote what I was supposed to write, I toed the line like a good little christian. My dad was proud of what I wrote, I literally just regurgitated whatever he taught me. Although, I couldn't... Continue Reading →
to love & hate Octobers…
I both love and hate Octobers. For maybe the first time in almost 8 years I've lived in Colorado, we have actually gotten brilliant reds, yellows, and oranges as the foliage has changed with the season. I actually didn't take pictures of the fiery red and yellow trees I passed by at least twice a... Continue Reading →
