My charge has been to find my place. Until I do, I am lost. I am like a traveler into a black hole, cut off from the rest of the universe, unhinged from my place in it. The world spins on around me, as I move into a center of nothingness, as I find that […]

I Have a Dark Sense of Humor
I just happened to have this topic on my list for today. Go figure. It will work out well, for I have a dark sense of humor, and my responses to today will not be the same as most others’. I have never had trouble laughing during serious times. I can crack jokes and play […]
I Have Big Eyes
You know that old saying about your eyes being bigger than your stomach? I have that problem with my whole life. I love the idea of new things, and I’m always wanting to try new things. I rarely stop to seriously consider whether something is reasonably within reach. I started running a couple of years […]
I Am Music
I’m surprised it took me this long to choose music for a topic. Maybe that’s because it’s a little like examining my skin, or my hair. I don’t know how much of it was learned, and how much is innate, but whichever, it is definitely a part of me now. It say it could be […]
I Am a Traveler
Most of my life, I’ve been boxed in by limitations and demands. But every once in a while, I’ve been free to roam, and roam I do. As a kid, I had a bike. When I was 9, we moved to Georgetown and lived in a subdivision that was effectively out in the country. The […]
I Am a Stormchaser
I love storms. I love their power, their intensity, their beauty. They are captivating to me. Whenever a storm rolls through, I open the windows so that I can hear the thunder and smell the rain. I’ll go outside so I can see the lightning. I miss being in Texas, where you could see so […]
I Am a Helper
Although I know this is an important piece of me, this may be a small post because I think I have it fairly well balanced. I do like to help. I think it dovetails nicely with being a fixer. I want to help people. I want to help clean up the party. I want to […]
I Am a Dreamer
I love to dream. I love to imagine what could be, other worlds, other realities. Sometimes I wish I could remember my dreams better, and turn them into stories of my own, but mostly I enjoy visiting the worlds of others. Science fiction and fantasy, but mostly fantasy, are the staples of my entertainment diet. […]
I Am Wiccan
Thanks to the vagaries of life and the internet, this week has appeared quiet in blogland. But I have kept my vow, I just need to get them all posted! I’ve been praised for my courage in exposing myself online like this. Others have asked why. For me, it is definitely easier to communicate online. […]
I Am a Loner
I’m not a complete loner. I like to have friends and family, especially the friends, which I never had many of until recently. I need to be alone, though. If I don’t get alone time on a regular basis, I become a very not-nice person. Part of that is the strain of maintaining masks and […]
