2020 a year of learning
I think that if my daughter hadn’t died, maybe this pandemic would have had a bigger impact. But once your child dies, there isn’t really anything else that can top that. Everything else is slightly sepia.
Every once in a while I look at my life, where I am now and I grieve.
There is a lot to be happy about, like my amazing partner/best friend - he ( Read more... ) -
What is Normal?
People talk about things ‘getting back to normal’ once this is all over. I hope that doesn’t happen. I hope people are forever changed in how they view our families, our friends, our communities and our world.
My experience is not going to be the same as those on the front line that are working far too hard, for too long in dangerous ( Read more... ) -
My life right now ~ and why it doesn't include facebook
So first off, my life as it is right now is really pretty good. I haven’t had a drink in 12 weeks and am with a caring partner who is also my best friend. Both of those things are wonderful things. The happiness I began to feel when starting a new relationship with someone who I really, totally connected with wasn’t just that ‘honeymoon’ effect of ( Read more... ) -
Reflections on Drinking
I downloaded an app today called SoberTime. It has a direct connection to their Talking Sober forum where someone posted this link: https://boozemusings.com/guide-to-your-first-month-of-sobriety-why-and-how-to-quit/ - it got me thinking. It was a really good article and I really connected to a large part of it. It prompted me to make a post about ( Read more... ) -
My Life
30 days without a drink.
In 19 days it will be 3 years without my daughter. My broken heart didn’t heal. It has scars though, lots of them and they have changed me.
I’m entering a new chapter of my life, one that I couldn’t enter before because of the complacency that alcohol brings.
This chapter isn’t lovey/dovey acceptance, and it’s not ( Read more... ) -
How does your relationship with your body affect your relationship with God?
This was one of the questions put to me by the spiritual director I’m meeting with, and it opened up a lot of thoughts. I need to preface this by stating that for me God is not a masculine Father Figure in the sky. God is the ineffable. Within. Without. God is more verb than noun. I am just as able to connect with God when participating in Druidry ( Read more... ) -
Refreshing
Seemed time to update the header image. Or not. Whatever the case, it’s been updated. I also added a Pictures page and am working on getting some galleries together. Snapshots in time that don’t really properly depict how frumpy and unfun I am about 80% of the time - but who wants to look at THOSE sorts of pictures anyhow?
I went and saw Endgame ( Read more... ) -
Just an update for the sake of an update
I have a harder time lately, finding words that mean anything to type out.
Two and a half years now since she passed.
Just over a year since my husband and I split up.
Almost nine months since my roomate moved in.
I don’t think about her non stop anymore and cry less frequently. This makes me feel sort of lost because even though I felt sad, I ( Read more... )
