The Letter – Apology Not Accepted
https://kellysundberg.com/2014/02/22/the-letter
Writing. Surviving. Thriving. February 22, 2014. March 1, 2016. I received my ex-husband’s court mandated letter of apology today. Words can’t really do justice to how inadequate a letter which he was forced to write feels so I won’t even try. Thank you to everyone who has read my blog and offered support. That support makes moments like this sting a little less, so truly, thank you. On the Purple Files. 12 thoughts on “ The Letter. This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.

Guest Post: In Response to Kelly’s Post "On Connection" – Apology Not Accepted

Writing. Surviving. Thriving. Guest Post: In Response to Kelly’s Post On Connection. September 20, 2015. March 1, 2016. In Response to Kelly’s Post “ On Connection. How can I give this woman corn and say nothing? I thought. What would I say? How much am I projecting others’ experiences onto her? Should I break down the fence of self and other and tell her that I know, to some degree, through combined various experiences of my own and listening closely to several dear friends, the loneliness of working to...

On Wooden Spoons – Apology Not Accepted
https://kellysundberg.com/2016/08/25/on-wooden-spoons
Writing. Surviving. Thriving. August 25, 2016. August 25, 2016. My former father-in-law had obsessions. His obsessions, necessarily, became his wife’s obsessions. I remember how, when my mother-in-law got her first Facebook account, that, under her hobbies, she listed that she liked to watch her husband and son (Caleb) play the guitar. What I thought, but didn’t say was, “But how is that. Caleb told me that, when he called his father to tell his parents that he had been arrested for battering me, he said...

On Money – Apology Not Accepted
https://kellysundberg.com/2016/10/16/on-money
Writing. Surviving. Thriving. October 16, 2016. October 16, 2016. For years, I have only worn one pair of shoes per season. In the past few winters, it has been the same pair of black Merrell boots. In this past summer, when I had a book advance, it was a pair of Birkenstocks that I had found on sale. The two summers before were a pair of Danskos that I had found in a thrift shop for two dollars. Later that evening, I sent her pictures of a couple pairs of shoes. “Which ones should I buy? 8221; I asked.

On Power – Apology Not Accepted
https://kellysundberg.com/2016/09/26/on-power
Writing. Surviving. Thriving. September 26, 2016. September 26, 2016. One of the first blog posts that I wrote was titled On Powerlessness. Today, I barely remember those feelings. I barely remember that tiny apartment on the third floor where the college student below us left us nasty notes on our door because Reed was a second-grader who liked to dance whenever he was excited. How do I know that you’re my mom? I barely remember never getting that apology that Caleb had promised. In the wake of leaving ...

On Memories – Apology Not Accepted
https://kellysundberg.com/2016/12/31/on-memories/comment-page-1
Writing. Surviving. Thriving. December 31, 2016. This photo was taken exactly a year ago. That baby was only hours old. She had been born to two of my very best friends, and though they live in Montana, I was en route from Idaho to Ohio and able to take them lunch and steal some time with them. I had never held any baby that young but my own. About a month ago, Reed asked me, “Do you think that my dad gets so angry with me because I look just like you? The truth is that Reed is 100% himself. I have never...

On Giving Thanks – Apology Not Accepted
https://kellysundberg.com/2016/11/24/on-giving-thanks
Writing. Surviving. Thriving. November 24, 2016. November 24, 2016. The other day, Reed said to me, “My favorite birthday was my first-grade birthday when you had all of my friends over, and we wore superhero costumes and had a scavenger hunt.” Then, “You left my dad exactly five days after that birthday.”. You left my dad exactly five days after that birthday. It was November 19, the day before Thanksgiving. I give thanks for the light. I give thanks for the darkness too. I give thanks for my solitude.

Melissa Ann Goodwin, WriterYogini. Cause I'm a writer and a yoga teacher. Tuesday, July 29, 2014. Some of you may remember our stop in Acadia during our 2012 Road Trip in the RV. We lived in Maine for 20 years, but never went to Acadia until that trip! Well, it was one of many highlights of that adventure. When we landed at Logan Airport in BOSTON. We expected to see Marylou and Jim waiting for us at baggage claim. But the first. At first I thought, Oh, they must be meeting someone who's flying in too!

Melissa Ann Goodwin, WriterYogini. Cause I'm a writer and a yoga teacher. Sunday, August 2, 2015. A Work of Art. If, when we got up each morning, we said to ourselves, I think I'll try to live by those yama - thingys today. Let's talk about karma for a minute. We tend to think of karma as something that is "gonna get us" for the naughty things we do. We use the phrase "karma's a bitch" to console ourselves that an invisible force will exact revenge on people who have done us wrong. So if we believe that ...
