I intend to show up this March, add my voice to some of the … Continue reading In the face of doubt
Through out most of last week, I kept thinking about friends...and how we go our separate ways even though that's not how we ever saw things playing out. Sort of allowing people to grow and accepting that sometimes that growth will not include you. While I was thinking of my own role in friendship breakups, … Continue reading On Friendship Breakups

Disclaimer; Despite the title, the bulk of this writing will not contain any expletives. I have been thinking of conversations. Having them, starting them, sustaining them, ending them.
