August is a tough month for me, current events aside; the 3rd is my late Grandmother’s Birthday and the 19th marked one year since the passing of my Mother In Law. I can’t believe it’s been a year already. Beyond the forced acknowledgement of my family’s losses over the past two years, I’ve been making…

Forest Gump
Reading has always been like music to me. I could close my eyes and see the words hovering above me in the air…taking shape into the story,character’s laughter weaving spells around me, landscapes enveloping me…so it’s no surprise that I would use it the same way most people use music; to help process. There are…
Some who wander are lost…
All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. But some who wander are lost..and I count myself among them for now. It’s been a tough month; Mother’s Day brought up a…
Going Under
What do you do when the darkness starts to take you? When the familiar temptation worms its way inside and makes itself at home with your worst fears…. It would be so easy to give in. Isn’t resigning yourself to the darkness now…brave if you know that it’s coming hunting you? Is…
Do our writers owe us a happy ending?
The past few years brought the rise of trilogies and long series; with that came a new level of fandom that I never expected for readers and writers alike. Since these writers (example JK Rowling, Charlaine Harris and George R.R. Martin) are part of this social media / instant gratification age they’ve succumbed to all…

Hoddy Toddys, Home Remedies and needing your Mama
I’ve been sick for the past few days. To tell the story of my sickness I have to take you back in time. *Starts Fog Machine* Thousands of years ago…before Sigourney Weaver (Reference) When I was a kid, I had almost perfect health, that was until I started getting sore throats on a monthly basis….
This is why we’re here….
I came, I saw, I read and now I’m trying to write would be the best way to sum it up but summation won’t work here. I recently deleted my “About Me” Pages; it was timely not only for this assignment but for the metamorphosis I would like to document on my blog. …
Gabriel García Márquez
While I knew he had been ailing for years, I never reconciled that knowledge with the natural eventuality of death. For me, he was a living champion of culture, of words, of language and of beauty that can only be captured by his pen. I haven’t cried yet, but the tears are coming. Finishing 100…
Book Seven: Hyperbole and a Half
Hyperbole and a Half by Allie Brosh. I’ve been a fan of her blog (same as the book title) since I found it while browsing reddit a while back. It’s always been honest, hilarious and right on point. Glad I invested in the book. You will want to read it over and over again and…
