Challenging my Femininity

**WARNING: This post contains crude words and strong language.** So, I had a friend tell me one day that I am very masculine.  I dress masculine, I speak with masculinity…I identify with the Sun more than the Moon…UH, okay, what is your point??? Sure, I dress in and Snap On apparel, um, my husband works for the company and I like how soft the…

Love, it’s a m*th*rf*cker, eh?

Written by Bill Robinson, for The Photographist Life Love, it’s a m*th*rf*cker, eh?When ERIN asked me to write a piece for her, this movie quote is the first thing I thought of. It’s So much of a MF’er that I bet that many of you reading this can’t even clearly define what it is. You love your spouse, you love your kids, you love…

11/45-Equilibrium

Happy Monday, all! I don’t think I have mentioned this, or maybe I have in a flippant way, but last year I realized that I didn’t know a damn thing. I mean, I know a lot, about a lot, and I always had an answer for any question, but I woke up one morning and thought, “I don’t know shit.” It was alarmingly profound….

10/45-Free yourself

Hello all! What a beautiful, if not chilly Sunday we are having today here in Ohio! The cold can’t stop the happiness I feel from the sun shining today…and maybe that 10 1/2 hours of deep sleep I got last night, after a restless week is just what I needed too?! Whatever the reason, it is a beautiful day, and so I shall enjoy…

9/45-Saturday short

Good Saturday to you all! I am not much on words today, but I will leave you all with this: Are you a person of integrity? Could you have better integrity? Are you a blowbag tooting your own horn? Something to ponder this weekend, and more on that later. What I did for me today: I made plans with friends for this evening, long…

8/45-It was a good day

Whew! Today kind of just flew by! Do you ever have days like that, where time just flies by and it is because you have had such a great day?! I am going to keep this short and sweet, it’s been a busy day and I am ready to chill. Today, what I did today for me: Pedicure Facial (I trade for this service)…

7/45-No response needed

Ah! Did you think the title was about my post? Well, don’t be disappointed, but it is not. It is about our interactions in life. Surprise! We seem to be programmed. Yes, that was the statement/sentence/declaration, whatever word applies to it. We are often raised with the expectation to say the right things, it probably started as socializing our wild little forms in to…

6/45-Conflict, Comfort, and Communication

Good Wednesday Morning! I am feeling the after effects of my day yesterday, of all I worked through, of all I acknowledged, and of all I released. I was feeling pretty tired and sluggish before yoga this morning, but I am feeling really calm and mellow, basking in the after glow now. My day should be a steady hum today, constant, productive, and ready!…

5/45-Artistic Thievery

I took some photos of this past ice/snow storm, I posted those on Facebook, and wrote that they are copyrighted photos. Are they such amazing or excellent photos that I am afraid they would be stolen? No, not at all, but it was a moment to open dialogue about the subject and to make me consciously choose to acknowledge what has been bothering me…

4/45-Specific Days:Uplift and Renew

Happy Valentine’s Day to all of you that celebrate, as for the rest, Good Monday to you! It seems you either like this holiday/day or not. Maybe that is due to your current status, a former status, a belief or you just don’t like this day, and yes, I think this applies to V-Day and Monday alike. I have never really been a big…
