• The Snoop

    “What’s in there?  Do I really want to know?  Or should we back away and leave it be?”  Rob said as he looked at the envelope on the table.  He eyed it as if he had no interest in any secrets held inside the bright blue box, but also was slightly curious.  “I don’t know…

  • Off Your Chest

    “You need to talk about it.  Keeping it inside is never going to help.”  Nathan started reaching out his hand and I recoiled. I couldn’t even believe he was trying to reconcile with me. And touch me? That would never happen again. I didn’t even want to think about what I would do if he…

  • Living Dangerously

    “You call that living dangerously?”  I whispered to my brother.  “Dangerous?  You have got to be kidding me.”  Eric stared at me and didn’t smile and didn’t respond.  I knew what he was thinking and I didn’t like it.  He was going to do the same thing over and over again until someone else noticed.…

  • Love and Lust

    Jacoby always presented me with a totally different kind of problem.  The kind of problem that wouldn’t ever leave my mind.  All day, all night, every single minute.  I don’t know how he had managed to worm his way into my life but here we were. It is safe to say I am obsessed. But…

  • The Hike

    “Why didn’t you tell me how you felt? That you didn’t want to go? It would have been easier had I known.” Jessica threw her ponytail over her shoulder and made a point of not looking me in the eye. I stared at her dumbfounded and wondered what she could possibly be thinking. I had…

  • Gone Again

    I knew he was gone before I even opened my eyes.  The bed was cold and his scent wasn’t lingering like it usually did.  I wondered how long he had waited after I fell asleep to leave. Probably not long knowing how mad he had gotten. His face had never been as contorted as it…

  • Yoga, Part 3

    Fast forward a few years and I finally made the leap and became a Certified Yoga Teacher! At first, I didn’t take the plunge once I was back in Oklahoma because I was so nervous about what everyone else would say and think because I can barely touch my toes because my hamstrings and hips…

  • Yoga, Part 2

    So here I was, in Dallas by myself, looking for ways to not spend every night alone in my apartment. I bought a two week pass to try out the Dallas Yoga Center which, fortunately for me, happened to be within walking distance of my apartment. I had first tried to go to a yoga…

  • Yoga, part 1

    I never intended for this post about how I really got into Yoga to be so long! I apparently didn’t think I had so much to say, so I’m going to break this blog post into a few so it won’t be so crazy… Many years and a few moons ago, I lived in Dallas.…

  • Dreaming

    “The dream is coming true.  You just have to believe,” I whispered to my brother and tried to get him to see things as I did.  The harder he worked, the better things would be if he knew that from the very beginning.  I didn’t want him to see the behavior of our relatives and…
