A quick update for some of you. I'll be writing something more detailed in a few days.
Sadness and Sunshine
I'm going to say the first part swiftly and without elaboration. I think it will make it easier. Aurora died at the beginning of April. Her health had declined rapidly and, even though I knew it was coming, it hit me really, really hard. There. I did it. Yes, it's been over a month, but… Continue reading Sadness and Sunshine
Stabilization
Another long while before I'm able to come in here and share my thoughts with you all. There are so many changes since I last posted! I'm not even sure where to start, but let's see where the train of thought takes us, shall we? This morning I had the desire to listen to some… Continue reading Stabilization
A quiet morning
As the sky begins to lighten, I think about the way the last half of 2016 has gone for many of us. And I think about myself, too. There were days, weeks even, when I thought that I'd give up my dreams of heading out onto the highways and visiting with all the people I've… Continue reading A quiet morning
Determination
I've come onto this page several times to write this post, but each time, the words wouldn't come and I would sit here looking at the screen and wondering how to phrase the things that were in my heart without sounding as if I'm falling apart or giving up. From the outside, it was really… Continue reading Determination
Destination
Throughout the month I have been thinking about my chosen word for this year (Apparate) and how I can apply it to each day. This past week, I've chosen to focus solely on the Destination. In the simplest terms, I think about how the things I do each day would be handled in such a… Continue reading Destination
Apparition
"One must be completely determined to reach one's destination, and move without haste, but with deliberation." ~J.K. Rowling As the year finally comes to an end, I can't help but to look around and see how far I've come as well as how far I have to go. And the thoughts become a… Continue reading Apparition
An overdue update
Happy September! I can't believe that it's been so long since I posted anything. Time really has a way of getting away from you, doesn't it? Skipping ahead a little, I'll say this: I'm not living where I thought I'd be, but this place is better in many ways. The first being that I'm actually… Continue reading An overdue update
Campaign
Well, I finally got it going! My fundraising campaign is up and running and I'll be adding more perks by the middle of next week. If you get a chance, come check it out and share it with your friends. Every little bit helps and you'd get some pretty cool items in exchange.
Closer and closer
I have nearly all my stuff in the living room now as I prepare for moving day. It feels strange to know that the next place I call "home" will be temporary but, in a way, they always are. This corner, in my 850 square feet apartment, contains almost everything that I'll be taking with… Continue reading Closer and closer
