The walls that held me up for years quickly crumbled away in the face of you. And just as I start to fear I might fall, you were right there to catch me in your embrace.
Your face

Why I Write
I believe that sharing life experience holds value.
Putting stories from one’s own life into words has power.

Memory of the body
Even after years gone by, my body recognizes your touch and feels young again. My skin pricks with a kiss from your lips. The sound of your voice – it soothes my soul. And though my judgement, proven to be poor, I still feel safe with you. I’ve always felt safe with you.

Who is my Heisenberg?
I have a mental illness. This is not something I chose. This is not something of which I am proud. This is not something I want any more than Walter White wanted to have cancer. But our earnest desires couldn’t save either of us from the painful truth.

Zombies! They’re real! Run!
In some newer news, the CDC — which stands for Center for Disease … Cauliflower? I don’t really want to look it up — released their plan for the public on what to do in the event of a zombie apocalypse. And, if I may say, it’s good to see a governmental agency actually out there, doing what needs to be done to ensure our public safety …
Wait, what? Zombies are real?! Excuse me; I’m leaving. Nothing personal, but I hope they eat you while you read this blog. Serves you right.
I wanted to take a quick look at how inadequate this list is, though. I’m not a genius in terms of zombie lore, and I kind of, sort of don’t completely trust those people who are, because zombie movies are intentionally scary and gory, and who enjoys being scared and gored? I may be a miserable…

Saying Goodbye to Good Things
On the Eve of my final night at a job I loved…
I wasn’t looking for a job when this one found me. I remember the initial meeting to discuss the idea of me making a change; I was nervous as heck, completely convinced that I was not- NOT going to be making any changes. I didn’t know what to expect.
The thought that someone asked me to come work for them? Humbling. Awesome. Exciting. Wow. The thought that it would be doing something that I’m not scholarly trained to do? Geesh.
I came in with a lot of heart, an open mind, and a lot of drive. I didn’t know what I was going to do, and since it was so new to our store, they weren’t positive either. We learned a lot together.
On the Eve of our little one’s final night at a daycare we loved…
