I have had fortune cookies say some pretty crazy things, but most of them are accurate, if carefully interpreted. They can also sometimes spawn some sort of self-prophecy, making them even more relevant. However, I have never known fortune cookies to be themselves prophetic in nature, until tonight. In a hissy fit brought on […]

So…What?
At nearly 35 years old, I found my first four-leaf clover So, apparently I really like to use the word “so” and “apparently.” There has no relevance to what I want to write today, but every time I start a post I have to backspace away the “So” at the top of my page. SO, […]

A Great BIG Hug From Washington State
I don’t feel like writing. I know that I have to, and I know it will make me feel better. I don’t know what to write about this week. So welcome to my stream of consciousness, as if that isn’t the norm. A really good friend said something to me tonight that cut through me, […]

I finally wrote something
Life definitely has its moments. I am not going to lie, I have had a pretty good heap of those moments lately. I don’t have much to complain about in the grand scheme of things, but I am still good at complaining about what I can. In fact, I often tell people that my ability […]

Mamavation Monday–Campaign 11-Week 4
This week has been an emotional one, and I have pulled back quite a bit from my social obligations. I am not sure why I tend to get quiet when I am feeling really raw, but I have to honor that feeling anyway. Fortunately, the people I choose to align myself with allow me that […]

Mamavation Monday–Campaign 11- Week 3
Week 1 was about reformulating my plan after finding out that I wasn’t selected to be a Mamavation Mom and that there was not going to be a MILI campaign. Week 2 was about getting my feet under me and implementing that plan. So, naturally, Week 3 is about hitting my stride. As this week […]

Mamavation Monday-Campaign 11-Week 2
Well…I wasn’t selected to be a Mamavation Mom last Monday night, but three amazing women were. While I am happy for Lolo, Andrea, and Laura, I must admit to being temporarily swallowed up by grief. Many of you sent me uplifting messages that went un-replied, but none of those went unnoticed. I wanted to write […]

Mamavation Monday–Campaign 11-Week 1
Today is the big day, and it’s a good day. In a few hours polls will close and my fate will be decided for me. I have to keep reminding myself that what is being decided is how I am to proceed, not if I am to proceed. I keep reminding myself that these votes […]

Mamavation Monday–Finalist to be chosen
I wanted to make sure that I wrote my Mamavation Monday post before finalists were chosen, so as not to let the decision affect my writing, (although I most certainly will have more to say after). This week has been a journey in self-destruction self-discovery. I was getting stronger every day of the 2week challenge […]

Empty Promises
tishamarie grief, Mamavation Monday, Mercy, Self Care, Weight 1 Comment
In January I made a promise. It was a promise to my friends (both online and in real life), to my family, and most of all to myself. I promised to take the brevity of my sister’s time on earth, and learn from it. I promised to make the most of the time that I […]
