To My Daughter Trascey

DEAR DAUGHTER I hope with all my heart that I showed you the real me. That I didn’t pretend I had it all together, or that life was not hard. I hope I gave you the belief of you, in your core. That I loved you enough, albeit messily, to code a blueprint for life.Continue reading “To My Daughter Trascey”

Going Home

I am going back to my apartment in Paris again because the hospital is says my health is good now. It has been several months since I have tried to get to my apartment. Can I be brave enough????

Thought for the end of July

Half of me is filled with bursting wordsand half of me is painfully shy. I crave solitude yet also crave people.

People are just people

We are all people … just people, human … a little good and a little bad; like people are … Someone said that “if we could look into each other’s hearts and understand the unique challenges each of us face, we would treat each other much more gently, with more love, patience, tolerance and careContinue reading “People are just people”
