I stumbled across an interesting website application today.  It’s called formspring.me and on it, people can ask you any question and then you can answer.  You don’t need to register to ask questions or see answers.  I thought it was a neat idea so I registered!  I know I’m quite open with you all here, [...]

I know, I know. Here we go again. This is something I’ve been trying to get off the ground for as long as this website has been around. It’s just such a big part of my vision for this space, I can’t let it go. And I want so very much for it to be [...]

I’ve got a few posts swimming through my head right now, but every time I sit down to write I come back to this.  I never really meant this place to become a personal journal.  I never wanted it to detail the day to day happenings of my life.  But today this post must be [...]

Feeling wanted

Thumbnail image for Feeling wanted

As a child of divorce I’ve lived my life with one enormous fear.  The fear of not being wanted.  It still haunts me.  I’ve seen it haunt others.  Like a monkey on our backs that lays dormant for a while but wakes up at the slightest hint of confirmation.  I wish it wasn’t so.  I [...]
