I often dream of other mes, mes that are not me.These dreams make me wonder if I’m the me I’m meant to be? Perhaps I have it backwards, I am living the life I should,to allow all these other mes to be the mes they would. Perhaps my dreams are alternate mes, the mes of […]
Our personal awareness of change varies. Some of us refuse to even acknowledge that things DO change. Others are terrified by anything changing, and fight it tooth and nail. Most of us lie somewhere between those extremes. But deny it or fear it all you want … change is inevitable. When I first took part […]
I started this year’s A to Z Challenge with the sentence: “Every ending is a new beginning.” In that post (Z end in Z beginning), I chose to make my version of the challenge Z to A. Today is the last day of this particular journey. In other words: I am ending at the beginning. […]
Every ending is a new beginning. I have not written anything in months. For that matter, I have not done much of anything in months. There are many reasons for this. I could write a quite a few words on this subject alone. But I won’t, because … well … who would wanna read that? […]
