Summer Movies are Back in the City!
Ah! It’s summer again and it’s going to be a hot, hot summer in the city! Possibly rainy since there was barely any snow this past winter. What I love most about the city is the summer movies in the park! Outside, having a picnic and watching some movie on the big screen with the…

Project: Flowering Teas Instagram photos
I have a penchant for beautifully quiet objects. Contemplative and observant. It’s one of the rules of being a wallflower. Wistful and wishful. Plain and overlooked. But everyone holds some sort of depth. You just have to look for it, if you want to try.

Monthly Flower Task
One’s love story isn’t always “Girl meets someone, Girl falls in love, Girl fights and gets the person.” It isn’t some sort of fairy tale with happily ever after. It’s normally Girl meets frogs. TONS OF THEM. Girl filters frog. Girl is heart-broken. Sometimes, heart-broken so often, girl thinks, “will I ever have a chance?”…

Drinking peppermint chocolate when it’s freezing and snowing, drinking iced tea or lemonade in the bleeding sweltering heat of summer, and the smell of apples and cinnamon of fall brings all these warm fuzzy feelings.

But I have an insane expectation of others and myself that nothing would ever reach all of it. Instead, I found…

Vows/Confidence
What is stable in a vow these days? Would the person you’ve loved for most of your life be there for you until you die? For richer or poorer, in health and sickness, til death do us part…what are those meanings? To love, to honor, and to obey…what do they mean when the divorce rate…

The Unknown
Outside my window, the weather is cold with snow drifting slowly down as if suspended in air. Beyond the window, I see my future yet I’m stuck here in the present, caught in the past by my own emotional tangle. But every tangle we make, it’s our duty to untangle it ourselves. If we were…
