Do you ever feel like everything in your life is not where it should be? In my mind, I’m so much more. When you compare yourself to others, you’ll always feel inadequate. The plan is simple. 1) Find a new job 2)diet and exercise 3)write the “great american novel” . Easier said than done. To quote Mr. Mayer, “Someday I’ll fly, someday I’ll soar. Someday...

Amos Lee
I had the honor of seeing Amos perform live in Chicago on March 26th, 2011. He was absolutely incredible! I have run out of words to describe my love for this man and his music. His songs touch my soul in a way that no other songs can. If you’ve never heard of him, please educate yourself. You will not be disappointed. In the age of techno and autotune, it’s nice to know that a man and...

Still at it. Overall, I’m down about 6.5 pounds. Good, but I’m hoping that it will get better.

Diet Update
I am down 5 pounds! Of course, I’ve been sick this week and haven’t had much of an appetite. It’s definitely helping with my portion control. Happy Dance!!!!
Diet Update #1
I’ve been dieting and exercising for about 4 weeks. I’ve lost an inch off my waist and I’m down almost a pound. Hopefully things will start to progress quickly!
Diet
Since the 1st of the year, I’ve added 45 minutes of aerobics/cardio to my non-existent exercise regimen. I work out about 4-5 times a week. Which is a vast improvement on 4-5 times over the past 6 years. I’ve also been trying to watch what I eat. It’s time to step it up! I’m thinking that I should start eating a lot more veggies and lean meats. Portion control is also...
Dreams
I had a dream about someone that I’m supposed to be over. I haven’t really been thinking about him and I have no idea why he was in my dream. His face was vivid and the dream felt very real. Does this mean something or are dreams just dreams?

Is it March yet?
Guess who gets to go see Amos Lee on March 26th? That’s right, me! I cannot wait! This will be my first time seeing him live. I’m such a big fan of his. I’m getting giddy just thinking about it!
Relocation
It’s cold, windy, and snowy in Chicago. I think that it’s time for a change. I’m thinking of relocating to Dallas or Raleigh. I’ve lived here for 28 years, I think it’s time to move on.
Writer's Block
I haven’t written anything in months. I’m supposed to be working on my novel, but I’ve been stressed out. I feel like nothing that I write sounds any good. I really need to find my peace again. Writing used to be such a comfort for me. There are days when I just stare at a piece of blank paper. I guess I’m hoping that the words will jump out of my mind and onto the paper.

Day 1
It’s time to become a better version of myself. Starting now …
You Don't Even Know Me
I thought you were calling to check on me, to see if I’m okay. Then you say that you didn’t mean to and that you only called me by mistake. I am your daughter and you don’t even know me. What is my favorite color? What are my dreams and aspirations? It breaks my heart when you act like I don’t exist. I could never turn my back on you the way you’ve turned on me. All I...
Maybe It's Me
Why is it that every guy I’ve ever had a crush on has never felt the same way? After so many rejections, I’m starting to think that it’s me. Maybe there is something about me that guys find unattractive. Beyond body image and facial structures. Maybe it’s my personality or lack thereof. I wish that I knew, so maybe I could work on improving it. Or maybe, I’m still...
Short, but sweet
I’m in love with Amos Lee’s voice. His music feeds my soul.

Is Anybody Out There?
I’ve been a member of various internet dating sites for about 3 years. I spend hours online waiting for someone to send me a “flirt” or a “wink”. I may exchange a few messages, but I still go to bed alone. I still wake up alone. I still spend 95% of my imagining what my “soulmate” is like. It may be selfish, but I ask God to send him to me. I don’t...

Perfectly Lonely?
Do I really need someone else to feel complete? Will my life be better because I have someone to wake up next to? The thought of spending the rest of my life alone breaks my heart. Just writing the words causes me to tear up. I’m not looking for him anymore. Maybe some people are just meant to be alone.

Life is meant to be lived
I’ve decided that I need to start living my life. I need to start traveling and I need to start appreciating every single minute that I’m given. Starting now. Thank you God for my family, for my friends (past and present), and for every breath that I take. Thank you for my eyes, thank you for my legs, thank you for my arms, thank you for my brain, and thank you for my heart. Thank you...

I'm Gonna Find Another You
You were everything that I was looking for and I had nothing that you wanted. If I could, I would erase your smile from my dreams and your words from my memory. I cannot speak ill of you, because you haven’t done anything wrong. You found your soulmate and married her. I really believed that I was meant to be your Mrs. Now, I’ll just add that to the list of things I’ve ever been...
28 and counting
I think that I was placed on this earth to be a mother. I’ve wanted children for the past 7 years. I’m an old fashioned girl. I want to find the right guy and “settle down”. How long do I put my dream on hold for “the right one?”

"Bigger Than My Body"
“Nobody can make you feel inferior without your consent”. Is that really true? I’ve haven’t been close to my father for over 20 years. Whenever I see him, he makes me feel like I’m not good enough. It’s nothing that he really says or does. Maybe it’s what he doesn’t say. He never says that he’s proud of me. I live a quiet, almost meager life. I...

Tears
Is it normal to cry when you’re mourning the loss of a dream?
Reunion
I cannot believe that it has been 10 years since I graduated high school! Not only does this make me feel old, but it also makes me feel unaccomplished. In the last 10 years, what have I done? Where have I been? Who have I loved? Life is like a novel. Some novels are full of adventure and mystery. Some novels are saturated with lust, love, and lost. I cannot wait for the next chapter to unfold.

If he was never mine to begin with, why do I still feel like I lost him? Why do I feel like I’m missing out on something extraordinary? Why does the very thought of him bring tears to my eyes? Why can’t I let it go? I made the decision to let him go, but heart has other plans. Maybe one day this won’t be so hard. I’ll stop remembering when his birthday is....

Shock Value
What has become of today’s “artists”? Pop music has become some stale combination of red lipstick, leotards, autotune, and 6-inch heels. How far are these women and men willing to go to sell records? People used to say that “any press is good press”. Do people still actually believe that? These antics are no longer shocking, they are down right sad. Is skanky the new...
