There have been a lot of things over my life that I've given up, both tangible and not. Some of these things I gave up willingly (the relationship with an abusive mother, a potential career in the military, the church) while others were much harder to let go of (the knowledge that I'll never build… Continue reading To grieve…

As I am…
A lot of time has passed since my last writing since I've been working on some physical issues as well as emotional ones. First, the physical. I have another new doctor. I explained during the first visit that the swelling started long before the weight gain and I think, this time, I was taken seriously.… Continue reading As I am…
Childhood lost…
I think I'll dust off this corner of my life and begin writing again. I know there aren't a lot of folks out here who read this but, maybe one day, someone will come across it and the paragraphs here will resonate with them. Or, more likely, it will become one of the millions of… Continue reading Childhood lost…

First, a small warning: If you don't like a bit of cussing, now is the time to close the page. If you don't like bluntness, now is the time to close the page. If you don't like not knowing every juicy detail of what I'm about to share, now is the time to close the… Continue reading Choices…
Decisions…
Double, full rainbow. Too long, don't want to read: I'm leaving Oregon and heading east. I've been thinking a lot about what ReWilding Me means to me (this is a group on Facebook that I started a while ago) and some of it is letting go of the societal expectations. Especially the ones that don't… Continue reading Decisions…
Reaching into Darkness
As the season continues shifting into the darker part of the year, I find myself thinking more and more about where I'm heading. I announced on Wednesday that I was closing the dyeing portion of my shop and that is still weighing heavy on my heart. Even though I know that it's the best choice… Continue reading Reaching into Darkness
My desk…
The messy, but wonderful surface of my desk. I used to go to the thrift shop quite a bit in the hopes that I'd find some sort of treasure. I've found a few over the years and have loved them all. This time I found a desk that needed to come home with me. She… Continue reading My desk…
A year…
A year ago I was helping a friend to dig up dozens of plants from her yard so that I could bring them back to Ohio with me. I had changed my plans on traveling in order to have a "central" location in Anthony's place, then travel more without everything that I owned packed into… Continue reading A year…
Rising…
There was a time when I would find interest in something and jump in with both feet, no hesitation. Crafts, books, foods, ideas, and so much more. Counted cross stitch? I found the most intricate pattern I could find and worked on it for hours at a time. Model cars? I had fine brushes to… Continue reading Rising…

First, there is a super special announcement in the Nest! I'm going to be a Nana this summer! My daughter (who turned 22 today) is expecting her first child. She & her husband haven't been specifically trying, but they stopped avoiding pregnancy (with the implant) in June of this year. Yes, there will certainly be… Continue reading Depth and more…
