From House Wife To Film Maker

Today, I started the day at school their ceromony for the kids that earned certificates.  My Gracey was on the A,B honor roll!  I have a pic but too sleepy to get the camera and do the upload and get into my blog.  If I don’t forget I’ll do it tomorrow.  Then I had lunch [...]

CONTINUED From Monday… Around 6 my mother called. She had gone to her car to put something in it.  All I could think was, “How clever, how controlling, how typical.  No hope of speaking with my step-father, the one sick…”  But I didn’t bother to say that.  I wanted a peaceful call.  This wasn’t the [...]

I’m halting going forward with my story of the last few days for a minute, because a concerned, loving reader/friend made a comment to yesterday’s post and I concluded that if she’s wondering “this” others are as well… Her thought: …”I hope that this is really helping you, but to me it sounds like it [...]

!BLAM!… B: birthing L: love A: affection M: mercy When we created the words that stood for what !BLAM! meant I never would have dreamed that the B: for birthing would have carried such significance.  Not only does it carry significance it’s also the FIRST letter of !BLAM! making it divinely placed…

TONIGHT, MY PARENTS REACTION TO THE !BLAM!ming. But first… The feasting of Christmas is fading and there’s a stillness settling over me as I sit and converse with you.  It’s quiet here.  Grace is to my left, on my couch tucked under her new pink Snuggie playing with her new IPod Touch and Zach, is [...]

What began as a drop, picking up my phone and !BLAM!ming my parents, has spread in ever expanding ripples in wonderful ways. Ways I never would have predicted.  The freedom and healing I’m experiencing has taken me by surprise. CONTINUED from yesterday, I said there was more that has opened for me…

I received a comment today in response to my  last post: Where I’ve come from, well six years ago, and where I’m going and I quote, “Wow, what self serving drivel You are truly a LOSER Congratulations”

Con’t from: “Where I’ve come from”… I want to mention I have worked for others, however I have always chaffed against it.  I’m just not the type who wishes to be employed.  For some it works.  And works great.  For those like me it doesn’t.  We look for ways to be in charge of our [...]

So, finally to the second half of the post “Getting real about my kids and how I’ve screwed up”… I have hurt my children.  That much is for sure.  And I must take responsibility for the harm I’ve caused.  That’s what this post is about.  Carrying what is mine.   For two reason: to be honest [...]

Funny story: I bought this new space heater gizmo called a Heat Dish because I just can’t go through one more winter feet shod in slippers, knee high socks, heavy tights, thick jeans, cami, turtle neck, and sweater and still be hunched over, arms cross trying to be warm.  I picked it up at a [...]
