I’m not a big believer in the fact that there is a G-D. Superstition and religious school learning is what prompts me to put the dash in the word, despite my lack of faith. I recognize the fact that there is a need and desire for many to be able to put this faith that [...]

Bittersweet “Me” Time
September 7th, 2011 
admin I sit at my kitchen table. In front of me is my laptop and my cup of coffee which is slowly growing cold.

A Week Later
August 8th, 2011 admin My mom is dead. I keep saying those four words to myself and then I shake my head in disbelief. How is that possible? But, it’s been a little over a week since I’ve last seen her or spoke to her. That’s the longest I’ve ever gone without any contact with my mom. So, it [...]

March 14th, 2010 admin People die. It’s a cold, hard certainty of life. We are born with this bittersweet and slightly scary knowledge because it is entwined in our genetic make up. We are born. We die. Those two facts are completely and utterly out of our control. It’s what we do in-between, how we make a statement on [...]
