Okay, so technically it was a question when Livie asked it, but the weight of her comment stood with me all the same.
I’ve been in a perpetual state of questioning this past month, eh, my whole life, whatever, you get the idea. As the author Elizabeth Gilbert so precisely said it, “[I] look into the [...]

If you’re happy and you know it, eat some WHEAT!!!
This, my friends, is homemade organic wheat bread. The only ingredients are wheat flour, water, yeast, olive oil, salt and brown sugar.
and this is my Lila
Oh yeah, oh yeah, do the wheat dance! Everybody now—in your hands, you take a bite, and you do the wheat dance. Now sing the chorus,”no hives, no hives, no [...]
the space between us
I hate it. I hate, hate, hate it.
Today someone remembered this date just for me. Sometimes I like to pretend I’m getting better, convince myself that just maybe I’ll be okay, but then I’m not. Oh yes, I know it’s “normal and natural,” but to whom does that bring comfort or peace? Certainly not me. [...]

Well, maybe I’m lying.
Okay, I’m [...]
All Things New Again
How is it that one can go from such elation, to such despair in a matter of moments?
Flying high from the rush of freedom from work and breathing in my children, I crashed abruptly and suddenly just moments ago.
I have to find a way to continue the rush….I feel like an addict on a quest [...]
If only it were that easy
I briefly considered stamping this message on the back, “My brother found peace and all I got was this lousy t-shirt.” =P
