Abandoned
She helped him pack his stuff. Somehow hoping it would hide the pain. She glanced at him as he packed his other things. He seemed normal. Like It didn’t bother him. So she continued pretending she felt the same. She checked around to see if there was anything else he forgot. She saw his shirt lying on the floor. She picked it up and noticed it was her favorite shirt. She stopped for a minute...  more

Opening Your Heart
Why is it that when we finally open up our hearts to others, they find it necessary to stab us? And not only do they thrust that knife deep within our hearts, but they leave it there. They leave it so that when we finally begin to heal and pull the knife out, they can simply drop back into our lives and say something or do something to plunge that knife deeper than before; it could be a text...  more

Support, Giving and Getting
Break-ups can be devastating. When they occur, we often get trapped between a desire to fix the situation and a wish to make the painful feelings pass. A lot of advice is given about letting it go, finding others, or realizing that the lost person must not have been the one. And that advice falls flat because what is needed is not a way to end the relationship; it's a way to heal. When emotional...  more

Hope's Rhyme and Reason
What would life bringIf dreams had no hope,Filled with sorrow, and loss,And things of that nature and sort.With goals no taller than Blades of grass.Cut down in the hopes, Like that of a weekly task.And there's really no predicting; justExpecting, as to where we are to land;Within life's woven web of tangled mysteries-As to where we expect to lay our head.With life, there's consequences-And the...  more

When Does Love Begin For Guys?
Most women know what love means to them. Most guys have an idea of what love is too, but what guys think and what women think about love isn't always the same. So what are guys thinking?

That's It! When to Call it Quits
I love women; curvy ones, slender ones, blonde, brunette, and red heads. Women are wonderful creatures and I cannot imagine life without them.

At one point, not too long ago, I thought I might have found her, the one, numero uno. We had been dating for a little over a year...  more

Why Do Girls Scream?
As Jane Fonda once said, "A good many dramatic situations begin with screaming." I couldn't agree with her more. Any spider larger than my thumbnail can get a hair-raising shriek out of me.
