Within six months into this chapter of turning 50, I have learned a lot about others and myself. I've been hit on by more 21 year olds than I ever did when I was at the age of 21, and some of the things I've seen in the attempt to get my attention, I've been quite traumatized by it. HA! There are days where it seems like I just can't get it together, and while false insecurities try to trickle their way in, there are the days where I have this ultimate power and fear doesn't have the chance to win. I've never been great at losing. However, I am learning to take those losses as a teacher of how and where I need to improve. I've learned that I could open my heart and Love again, and y
What I would think was just another Friday at Lucy’s laundry mat, has given me another lesson of no matter how much your try, you can’t hide the truth. As my laundry is going through the wash cycle, I sit at a table trying to get some things squared away with my publisher and working on my writing.
