I love analogies. This particular morning, I realized I had stumbled upon one that was a little more personal than most.
What I’m Trying to Say
With you…and without you.
I Met a Man
I wasn’t his childhood Aunt, but I was best friends with the woman who was. Things changed, time passed, and I would come to know him as my nephew. Fleeting moments, years apart, the one who created the family tie, now gone. But we are family, only now, not so much by creation, but by choice. Today, March 15th, Jesse Aaron Williams turns 40 years old. I can’t help but celebrate the man he’s become.
A Glimpse
My friend. My inspiration. May we have many more ‘ordinary moments’.
Go Ahead – Toot Your Own Horn
That fabulously awkward moment when you realize there’s more truth than fallacy in a statement of perceived self-growth.
The Choice
In the quiet, I understood. I had learned the lessons, and this was an opportunity to apply the wisdom and do it differently. This time, I would love me first.
For Mike
First we will feel and make room for grief, knowing that in love’s time we will go forward, greater than we were, better for having known another.
Becoming
In the distance, I see possibility and joy. Each day, a celebration of the triumphant version of me.
Lailo: Apart From Concrete Realities
From parting with children and the effects of cold coffee, to giving birth and the up-side of napping in class, the conversation began to unfold as I delved deeper into the inner-workings of the artist known as Lailo.
The Missing Gifts
Every Christmas is different, and this year will be no exception. I’m good with a departure from turkey, and am open to coconut milk eggnog. But of course, adapting to change doesn’t always come easy, especially when love is involved.
