In just over a weeks time, I will be headed to the first ever multi day, camping festival I’ve ever attended. I’m going to Bearded Theory. I have a tent! Yes, that’s how the tent is decorated as well. In case you’re wondering why it’s so big, it’s a pop up tent. I also have this: A remot…
Creature of the Night
At long last it has come to me. This is what I will write about: the middle of the night. What shall I call it? The “still of the early morining hours?” “The reverential hush of deepest eventide?” It has been raining off and on for the past hour, a teasing sort of rain that has provided the …
In a few weeks
In a few weeks, I think he’s going back to prison. I’m sad because I’m used to his presence in my life and knowing I wont hug him or touch him or even be in the same room with him for at least 2 years….is upsetting. The idea of my kids not having their dad around is nerve wrecking as well.…

021: Just another heartbreak 1
I’ve been thinking of writing an entry since late last year but I had problems with the VPN app I was using to be able to access the site. Now, I am using a different one and hope it won’t have the same problem as the one before cause it’ll again be a waste of money. Now, where do I begin? I…
It Was Beautiful!
We had a gorgeous storm over Appleby last night! Loads of thunder lightening and rain! I loved it! Thankfully my little cat isn’t bothered by it. She was snoring on the livingroom windowsill and it didn’t appear to bother my 3 fish either, which is good!
אני קושית יפה/I’m a Cute Black Girl Pg 93
Never have I ever felt as uncomfortable, in shul, as I did last Friday… and you would think that being a black woman and having grown up around Jews and Whites and having gone to an Orthodox Shul a million times, throughout my life, that a Progressive Shul would be the last place I would e…
My MIL is a Pastor
I’m currently feeling shattered after separating from my husband, especially because his mother said hurtful things to me. It’s particularly painful coming from someone I never expected to mistreat me, given that she’s a pastor and I assumed she had a rational mindset. Unfortunately, she’s r…
