Women By My Side

It seems that all of my life I have been searching for a place to fit in.  To belong.  I’m not saying I haven’t had friends.  I have, and some were really great ones.  But, the need was always bigger than onesy-s and twosy-s.   I realize now, what I wanted was a community. 

The Powerful Story of Pam C.

As I sat in the corner booth at Panera, cold coffee in my cup, emotion washed over me.  I know there is a story in what just happened.  I can feel it.  I start writing, but gobble-de-gook comes out.  I start again...not much better.  So, I ask myself ‘What do I feel?’  Then, I listen for the answer.  It takes a few moments, but it comes to me like the proverbial dove with the olive branch...an offering.  The encounter made me feel grateful, proud and connected.  With this welling of abundance filling my heart I start to write.  I only hope I can do the story justice...

Ups and Downs: The Flow of Life

There are always going to be ups and downs to life.  I, for one, find I have a difficult time accepting that I have to deal with them, though.  I spent so much of my past life on an overwhelming rollercoaster of emotions I feel it’s somehow unfair. I figure, I did ‘The Work’ I needed to do to get me to the place that I am, a place of contentment with myself at a very base level, a place of joy in being a woman, a place of finally defining the terms of a relationship with an abusive father.  When I take the time to revel in this place of contentment I don’t want to feel anything but that...Content.
