The Spinning Plate Challenge I Call Life

I need to settle down. I have to keep myself in line and realistic. I’m not sure where this aching need to do everything at once originated but I sure as hell could stand to ache a bit less these days. What is it that makes me utterly patient with others, forgiving and understanding of [...]

Sitting Pretty in Your Dreams

I’m just going to pretend that what I say next will be perfectly expressed in such a cliche: I love my life.  I’m so thankful for it and I’m honestly stuck in “happy disbelief” at how it all turned around so quickly.  A year ago today I was physically very sick and spiritually challenged.  I [...]

The Trouble with Being A Prince
