Everyone’s in Our Life for a …

On Soulful Days

On Soulful Days

Both writing and painting have become friendly companions on soulful days. If I were asked to choose which one I prefer; I wouldn’t be able to decide. There is no first or second place winner. They’re both equally important, yet have very different personalities.…

When Everything Stops

When Everything Stops

There are moments in life when everything stops, and a wave of terrifying possibilities flood your mind… Yesterday, my daughter and I were playing in her room. She accidently jumped off the bed and landed on her back, hitting her head. For…

Cycle Repeated

Cycle Repeated

I’m not ashamed to cry. Tears can be a good thing. But when it happens too often, too long, one realizes it’s a problem. In the recent years I’ve cried too many times. It helps sometimes to let it all out.  But…

Who Me? Changed? No!.. Ok. Yes, Maybe I’ve changed…but just a little.

Who Me? Changed? No!.. Ok. Yes, Maybe …

Some say I’ve changed. I am not the fun, energetic, outgoing person I use to be. I’ve even heard that I have mood swings. No shit, I’m a woman, like every woman! But, is this who I am now? Moody, serious? No way!…

Old, Unwanted Friend

Old, Unwanted Friend

Once in a while this sadness covers my soul. It’s not like the other unwelcomed emotions because those are like little children throwing a tantrum. They can be easily ignored, quieted and put to sleep. Though they’re whiny, and kind of crazy, I…

Reasons

Working with my students brings me great joy. These young hearts are able to see life full of hope and potential. Though their ideas might be naïve, or a bit impulsive,  they seem to have a purer vision of what life is or…

It’s Hard to be Good

It’s Hard to be Good

Some of life’s biggest lessons can be taught by our children. I was having a conversation with my daughter about proper behavior, and she replied, “But it’s really hard to be good.” I stressed that it’s still important to try our best, to be…

The Stuff that Dreams are Made of

The Stuff that Dreams are Made of

What are dreams exactly made of? Imagination, real life apprehension, subconscious mind, spiritual domain? I can’t get last night’s dream out of my head. It was bazaar and strange, at the same time, very peaceful.  Fantasy world; the sun shining brightly onto a…

What does it really Matter?

What does it really Matter?

Sleeping is good. Dreams are interesting. The ocean, sunsets and sky are the setting of most recent nocturnal visions. Peaceful and complicated stories.  A life that awaits, briefly interrupted by someone or something. Not a great hindrance, but present enough to slightly change the dream’s…

Eighteen Years

Eighteen Years

Tuesday, December 3, 1996 in the evening hour, darkness swallowed me whole…unexplainable emotions. I don’t remember much, except tears, and a long drive home. I was with my brother and I asked him, “what do we do now?” He didn’t answer. I…
