 I know there is so much out there about “being yourself”, but I truly get it now, and more than thinking I feel it. It’s more than accepting yourself; it’s embracing your authentic self. Loving “you” wholly – mind, body, and soul. We are all so beautiful and unique in our own special way and …

So a few months have passed since my last post. I decided to go back and read the only one I wrote so far, “Tight”. As with most things in life an update is necessary.  Well it may not be necessary but I have a few more thoughts on the subject of frugality. I mentioned …

So much to say Hard to explain The situation I’m in I’ll do my best Begin with my history   A childhood mystery Not sure what was real Suspicions, Bad feelings Disturbing thoughts Heart closed and protected   Living life as a robot Always on auto pilot Well behaved, Quiet And oh so polite   …
