Lifestyle
Lifestyle is a term I both love and hate. While not liking labels on a person, I realize that lifestyle is a part of us. That part I like. The part I hate is that saying you have a lifestyle can pigeon hole you to the point that if you deviate from it – you are deviant. I don’t want to stay in any lifestyle or category at this point in my life. I have always hated labels. I find that in each community I enter, others need to place you in a category. When I started dating my ex-wife, I wasn’t gay enough. It was clear that her friends,…

Stay the Night
It had been a while since I shared my bed with someone. Even my Ex-what-ever-he-was never stayed the night with me. I always went to him. Although I had set my house up to his liking just in case, it ever happened. So when my current relationship said he could stay over, I was not only surprised and a little excited, I was also nervous. I haven’t talked much about him because I wasn’t sure where it was going. He is a good guy. Most of them are, but most of them also have issues, baggage, or in my case and history, someone else in their lives. Ugh! It is…

Inspiration from unexpected sources
I have spent a lot of time looking for and finding inspiration. Inspiration has always come easy to me; it is the follow up that I struggle to conquer. It has taken me a long time to realize that inspiration comes from unexpected sources. I have never been someone to delve into a self-help book for answers. From the best to the worst, I usually finish the book, podcast, or seminar with the feeling that I already knew everything the said. It was just putting it into action that I struggled with finishing. I know in most parts of my life what I need to do. I should eat better…

Relax
Just relax. Calm down, and everything will work out just fine. Breathe. I’m sure we have all heard these phrases of condolences and trying to inspire hope. I get it. What else can you say? Everyone is feeling the pressure from our current state in the world. Bottom line? There are no words that induce relaxation. In November of 2019, I adopted a puppy. He is a German Shepherd puppy. The last thing I needed was a puppy. I already had a great dog who had settled in his ways, and we had a good routine. We could relax as much as we wanted. The puppy changed that. He is…

Advent
Advent was something I had only heard at church. I was raised going to a Methodist church and converted to Catholicism so that my future husband’s mother would come to the wedding. Yes, she made it clear she would not be there if I didn’t take the leap so I lept. Advent described as the lead up to something. In the religious realm, the birth of Christ. Most of that was lost in my family growing up. Mom wanted us to have a base of religion and Dad only went to church on the holidays he felt he needed to and that stopped when we were old enough not to…
