Perfect Post Award – February
I don’t even know where to begin. I’m sitting here, staring at the screen and this whole thing is just too damned big to be able to explain, to figure out. It’s hard for me to breathe as I type this.

Letter to my body

It was interesting to look around the house to see what was “home” here. It’s so different from any other house I’ve had. It’s far from anyone we know. There’s a husband and a baby. When we moved in, we’d lived in a 3 room apartment for a month and realized we didn’t need most of the stuff we had packed away. We spent the first weekend in the new.. Read More
