I am in a mood. I'm gonna compose some letters. Not going to mail them, just let the words flow cathartic. I'll print them on lovely stationary, then burn them, after I cross and cover names. Yep. I'm in that kind of mood. I'll start my drafts here for your amusement. To accompany, a … Continue reading On Self-Deprecation

Friends In Warm Places
Even into the darker blue, the Gulf waters felt too hot. Surely there's a cold spot somewhere, I thought. I wanted to swim out further to find that magic place, but I needed a spotter. I came with three of my favorite fellas, but they were gathered around our table for the day, too far … Continue reading Friends In Warm Places
The Heat Is On
My hornets are thirsty. I can tell this morning as the long legged, wide winged, red boy who lives in the nest in the upper join of our front door hovers in front of the A/C unit, waiting for the fan to spit up the condensation building up from our constant usage. Yep, it's that … Continue reading The Heat Is On
Continuing The Search For Divine Inspiration
BF went through my purse and discovered my collage intentions. But that's alright, I've come up with an alternate, artistic plan! While the fine folks at Davidson put it together, I'm back to my slender slab of wall. The wall theme is “Divine Inspiration.” I want to display a mix of my personal art during … Continue reading Continuing The Search For Divine Inspiration
Exploring the Divine Feminine
Today is one of those, 'the mind is flying, but the body's too weak to react' days. So I do what anyone in the bed at 3pm does...look up ideas for a gallery wall! Remember last year about this time, I was talking about designing a throne room, and how successful that came out? I … Continue reading Exploring the Divine Feminine
Prince and Other Ps
This week, Thursday, is my 39th year on Earth. It'll be a Taurus Moon, and, at its setting, it'll be the 1st new moon of the month. So, with my return from WordPress hiatus, I warn all of you I may turn into a Minotaur. Don't let that stop you from buying me a margarita. … Continue reading Prince and Other Ps
The 2nd Time Around
What a beautiful Tampa Bay weekend, and such perfect weather for the annual Gasparilla Parade! If you're not familiar, this week-long event honors Tampa Bay's well-documented invasion of pirates. You have your typical big event fare - personal coolers stocked with beer, girls in skimpy booty shorts, guys dressed in their best Buccaneer paraphernalia. All … Continue reading The 2nd Time Around
Two Plates Two Bowls Two Glasses
Today the lake water has taken on a pumice hue. Ripples close in like busy worker ants towards the inlet, dumping froth along the coastline. Bitter, the air, the overnight drop in temperature simultaneously welcome and abhored. This morning instead of sipping a cup of coffee I puff on my glass bowl. There's much work … Continue reading Two Plates Two Bowls Two Glasses
Operation: Falcon Crest
Three yellow butterflies fluttered before me, playfully twisting in the warm morning gust accentuating this morning's walk. Sweat curtained my face way before hitting the mile marker; what is this?? This time last year, a decent chill to temper the swamp, but in 2015, I still have boob sweat! Walk is over and it's time … Continue reading Operation: Falcon Crest
FOMO on NaNo
The distinct smell of National Novel Writing Month is in the air, wafting curls of pumpkin spice-flavored coffee, donuts, and fear dancing in the four winds. All of November, local coffee shops morph into coliseums, where literary warriors compete against the clock and indirectly with each other. It is a feat of near mythical challenge: … Continue reading FOMO on NaNo
