January. January of 2008 was the beginning of an amazing year. I woke up on New Years Day to the start of a new life and a hot shower!
Getting my BlackBerry. I have to admit that my BlackBerry has changed my life. I now have access to my various email accounts, my Facebook, CNN, the [...]

Two and a half years ago I moved out of the house that I had previously occupied with my former spouse and moved into a small, cozy two bedroom duplex in town. My living alone experience prior to this was … um… ZIP, NADA, ZILCH. Sure I had went off to college but I spent [...]

I take my time
Unearthing the small things that she left behind.
Hand written notes.
A pill bottle.
Me.
Artifacts of her.
Proof.
She was real.
She wrote this.
She held this.
She loved me.
Items once inconsequential are now irreplaceable.
What mysteries they hold.
Mysteries of me.
Inside of her my heart started to beat.
My arms moved for the first time.
She knew me first.

Elsewhere is somewhere that people live their lives backwards. You arrive in Elsewhere and leave once you’ve “grown down” to a baby. Then, you are bundled up [...]

All of the toxic thoughts that I have had for the past couple of days caught up with me. I’m currently in bed and not feeling well at all. I’ve got my laptop here to keep me warm and a rescheduled hair appointment for later this afternoon. I’m certain that my feeling ill is a [...]

I saw this post by Steveo and it inspired me to share one of my pictures.
The minute I heard my first love story,
I started looking for you, not knowing how blind that was.
Lovers don’t finally meet somewhere.
They’re in each other all along.

In my life transformation hasn’t happened cleanly. I didn’t wake up one morning and decide that my life was going to look a certain way and then woke up the next and it did. Instead, transformation has been messy.
The work of personal transformation started a lot like house or office cleaning. My life started to [...]

In true love the smallest distance is too great, and the greatest distance can be bridged.

Laughter is one of the highest forms of intimacy that two people can have with one another.
An inside joke held between two people embodies intimacy. Intimacy is not just found in the soft, lingering kisses that are left on the lips, shoulders, hips, and other parts of a body. Intimacy doesn’t just exist [...]
