• 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…

  • The Shoes

    PHOTO PROMPT © Roger Bultot  It started as a joke, but then became suddenly serious. I never found what prompted Pete to take the joke as far as he did, but here we are. I was originally told the shoes belonged to his brother, and every time Jace made him mad, Pete would throw his…

  • Nabbed, Grabbed and Sneaked

    The day I found my mother going through the boxes in my closet was the day I knew I had to move out.  At nineteen, I knew it was time and it had been time for a while, but I had been hoping to save a little more money before I made the transition.  My…
