Fear and I have always had a very close, some might say romantic, relationship. Much of my crazy life has been lived at its inspiration – I soar because I’m afraid to fly. In many ways, I’m the most fearful person I know – I’m scared of airplanes, mirrors, heights and fish (yeah, go figure,) [...]

A Hell of a Day

8:05 am – Raced out the door, lunch boxes and homework in tow. We were running a few minutes late, so I hadn’t had time to finish the dishes or even get a sip of coffee. I figured I’d drop the kids off at school, go pray to the god of sweat for a while, [...]
Hitting It Hard

I go to the gym every weekday. I wake up at 5:45 am and head to the gym, where I get on a treadmill or an elliptical machine for 30 minutes. Years ago I broke my ankle and it never healed, which meant I had to give up running, so I tilt the treadmill up [...]

We were at the garden show. I found out when my mom broke down after a phone call. “It’s cancer.” “What?” “The biopsy. It’s cancer.” She turned pale and we had to hold her up. “What biopsy?” “We didn’t want to worry you, we thought it would be routine. The doctor wants to see us [...]
Losing My Religion

I was born into a family without religion, which is to say that my family originally had too much religion and my parents decided to end the fighting it caused by getting rid of it entirely. In my grandparents’ era, both sides had split into bitter feuds over religion and the family was left fractured [...]

Every relationship is inherently dangerous. Every hug, every kiss, every promise brings us closer to another human being, forcing us to open up and let a little light in, exposing the needy, small, ugly bits we prefer to keep hidden away. A polyamorous relationship is even more dangerous, with prohibitions on wanting too much, and, [...]

The morning’s still quiet here. The cats are just waking up, and so the chorus of panic over when their next meal will come hasn’t started yet. The kids and my husband are asleep, and the sky is blue-grey with little yellow streaks of sun just peaking through. I’m still trying to get over bronchitis [...]
Kyle’s Visit – Collaring My boy

(Continued from Kyle’s Visit – Saturday) When Kyle and I got back to the hotel, we lay in bed talking, and touching, for a few hours. We had had a wonderful conversation at lunch and then on our walk, and it continued well past dinnertime. It’s so much easier to say the dangerous things out [...]
Faltering

Monday morning – tomorrow – I will be doing something that I don’t want to do. There are a lot of things I do every day that I don’t want to do, but this is something that I fear more than any of the things I’ve ever done. And, yes, you could take that as [...]
