  • The Key at the Front Door

    Everybody is willing to hate you until they need you again by then the relationship has changed. Not ended. Changed. There is a difference. Endings have funerals. Flowers. Black dresses.

  • The Birthday We Never Knew We Were Having

    Somewhere today someone is celebrating a birthday, but I truly wonder if they are celebrating the way they should. There it is again. The writer’s block.

  • Wings Don’t Fit in Suitcases

    Yes, the past happened.No one is pretending it didn’t. But you can’t drag it behind you like a carry-on and expect to board the next chapter without turbulence. Some of you are still standing at the gate arguing with a suitcase that should’ve been left at baggage claim years ago. Real healing isn’t rewriting the…

  • The Queen of Hearts AND THAT MAN

    Valentine’s Day. Everyone celebrates the fairy tale.But no one asks how the queen earned her crown. Let me ask you something. What burns, but does not die?What loses everything and still walks away with more?What dines at tables it built, only to be left hungry, yet refuses to starve? The queen of hearts didn’t wake…
