Gratitude Attitude

Thankful for:
Healthy baby boy
Gummy smiles
Almost laughter
Time to spend with him
Sticky poopy diapers
Snuggly little body
Cutest little hands and feet
Tiniest little knee caps
Chunky tiny wrists
Beautiful eyes staring at me
Gurgles and blurps of trying to talk
Soft smooth skin
Sniffing his baby head
Kissing his little cheeks
Loving him so much
thank you, thank you, thank you universe for giving me the best [...]

See here’s the thing…

this really isn’t gonna give me closure. I can’t say what I want. Things have changed and there is no going back. Obviously I come on to strong but the thing is its probably been too long for deep meaningful conversation.
Can anything good come from rekindling an old relationship into a [...]

Emotional Day

To be pregnant is a gift. Anyone who has ever gone or is going through infertility issues understands what I mean. I am very emotional today- probably the hormones. Morning sickness has reared its ugly head big time today.
I have been emotional all morning. I am crying at the Dave Matthews [...]

Phenomenal Woman by Maya Angelou

Keeping with my pro-women theme. Here is one of my favorite poems.
Phenomenal Woman
Pretty women wonder where my secret lies.
I’m not cute or built to suit a fashion model’s size
But when I start to tell them,
They think I’m telling lies.
I say,
It’s in the reach of my arms
The span of my hips,
The stride of my step,
The [...]

A new daily ritual

I have really been keeping up with a written journal lately too. Between writing here and there, I have been doing a lot of writing.
Lately, I have been thinking a lot about rituals. When I was a good little catholic school girl, I had a lot of rituals to comfort me. [...]

Pan’s Labyrinth Soundtrack and Movie Video

Grotesque and beautiful,
Scary and soothing,
Haunting and hopeful,
Reality and myth,
good and evil
and what a soundtrack.
So much to say about this movie, so many layers. It is a must see and not just because I love labyrinths. Life after death.
Here is the trailer:

Here is the soundtrack:
