Coffee, Tea, and Everything In Between: One Year
http://theinbetweenday.blogspot.com/2014/02/one-year.html
Coffee, Tea, and Everything In Between. Journal of a thirty-something. Saturday, February 1, 2014. My mother died a year ago today. A year ago. My mother died. It seems both too long a time and not long enough. She would say while holding her hands apart at varying amounts until her arms had reached their span. And I would sob and not continue. January 21, 2013. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. President Obama being sworn in for a second term. It was an important day. I asked the nurse. "Yes." she re...I ask...

Coffee, Tea, and Everything In Between: July 2013

Coffee, Tea, and Everything In Between. Journal of a thirty-something. Saturday, July 27, 2013. Milk Tastes Like Cow. My son Atticus, who is 3 ½ years old, told me yesterday that his milk tasted like cow. And then said YUM! My mother told me once that your kids belong to you until they start going to school. Then they become their own being-separate from you, and start being influenced by their peers. I see that time looming oh so closely. In two years, my little boy will be off to school. Mom lying in h...

Coffee, Tea, and Everything In Between: August 2012
http://theinbetweenday.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
Coffee, Tea, and Everything In Between. Journal of a thirty-something. Saturday, August 4, 2012. Old Habits Die Hard. Recently my husband and I took our family to Maui, Hawaii for an 8 day trip. We had a great time-my lust for wanderlust was finally satiated (at least momentarily)-and I can't wait for our next big adventure. However, my number one goal for after. Why is it so hard to break negative cycles? To do it. Why don't I then? I just want to be comfortable-if that is possible-in my own skin. B...

Coffee, Tea, and Everything In Between: Today I Cried For Me
http://theinbetweenday.blogspot.com/2014/01/today-i-cried-for-me.html
Coffee, Tea, and Everything In Between. Journal of a thirty-something. Thursday, January 2, 2014. Today I Cried For Me. Today I cried for you. I opened the book on the shelf, sitting stagnant for so long. Untouched. Dust collecting. A book on the history of. It is mine. You borrowed it. You dog-eared your last page. When did you last pick this up? The second one is a note that can be found in many a nook and cranny among your things. Letting it go to the universe. It. Being your stress. It.

Coffee, Tea, and Everything In Between: June 2012
http://theinbetweenday.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Coffee, Tea, and Everything In Between. Journal of a thirty-something. Saturday, June 30, 2012. 33 Means To Me. Not suppressing who I am in order to avoid conflict or fear of upsetting anyone. I of course always want to care for others and I never want to hurt anyone; be it intentional or not. However, I am an opinionated woman. I have a voice. As long as I am authentic to who I am and who I hope to be, then I cannot control other's reactions to my words. Video uploaded from Youtube. This image is altere...

Coffee, Tea, and Everything In Between: Life in the After
http://theinbetweenday.blogspot.com/2013/07/life-in-after.html
Coffee, Tea, and Everything In Between. Journal of a thirty-something. Friday, July 5, 2013. Life in the After. 5 months, 4 days, 3 hours, and 17 minutes ago (as of the time I sit down writing this) my mother died. I sat next to her and watched her take her last breath. I didn't touch her. I watched. I wasn't the only other person in the room. There was a room full of people. Everyone talking with each other as we always did. We had 11 days. Passed away quietly on a Friday night. I will write about my mo...
