Transition
i’d like to write some fun stuff now but stress seems to have taken over my mind body and soul. it seems that the slightest thing – what should be the easiest thing – becomes this monumental task incvolving way more effort than i ever though necessary. today was the day that classes opened for […]
a few days ago a friend and i were remarking on the power of words. she’s a reseracher, a poet, and newly, a pr person. she was revealing how acutely she felt the power of her words now that so many people with different agendas were searching her writing to satisfy their own needs. all […]
“…so what is going to happen next?” I get that question often…about S, post-new Zealand, post MPH. everyone wants to know “what next?”. Like if I tell them I’m going into outer space that will actually make it true. I ask too. Friends get a serious boyfriend and I want to know, “is […]

getting to sleep and going to sleep are two different things for me these days. now that i’m done with the 10 and 12 hour workdays and i’m just making plans for my time being tired is more an emotional state then an absence of sleep. don’t get me wrong, i’m sleepy too – it’s […]
