trying not to fall down the rabbit hole today

So it has been a rough time for me in 2015.  Losing 2 of my closest friends and still trying to navigate this being an adult and being a wife thing.  Things get lonely, dark and twisty from time to time and I just hope to keep going forward.  How does Dory say it: "Just keep swimming"

I am on the phone with my mom yesterday who is obscenely happy and it really is part of her charm just nothing that I am.  I tell her I am having a hard time emotionally and I mention just trying to not fall down the dark rabbit hole.  Her reply "just stick out your arms."

Still working on this writers block thing.  Who ever said it didn't exist is so wrong but I guess that is why writers are described at tortured: or can be.

While waking from my slumber these four lines came to me.  Not much in the way of length but definitely feel an image.


With the squealing of the tires
Came the snuffing of a life
A mother lost a child
A husband lost a wife

Backstories and blurred edges

After spending 4 days at a digital storytelling conference I had the pleasure of putting together this little piece of work. I am a descendant of immigrants from long ago. I am not aware of my complete family history but am thankful for what I do have. This was my first time at a voiceover so excuse my stumbles. I look forward to pursuing this further for professional and personal developement.

For my mama

Freedom's child
trippin through life

Passive to the aggression
of the family's dramatic strife

Grey in her hair
laughter in her heart

Gypsy style
wanderlust strong

Where to start
time to roam
