Two Lovers, a Dog, and a Butterfly: A Day In This Midlife Woman’s Life

September 5, 2017 By Gail Leave a Comment

 Dog and Butterfly Lyrics by Heart We’re getting older the world’s getting colder For the life of me I don’t know the reason why Maybe it’s livin’ making us give in Hearts rolling in taken back on the tide We’re balanced together ocean upon the sky Another night in this strange town Moonlight holding me light as down Voice of… Read More

Comparing Motherhood to Creativity: How My Mind Works

April 19, 2017 By Gail Leave a Comment

“Each moment of our life, we either invoke or destroy our dreams.” -Stuart Wilde      It’s odd what takes hold in my mind.

“Why are you here?” The man speaking at the front of the room pointed his finger at me. For a moment I considered pretending he meant the woman sitting next to me, but that finger didn’t waffle even a little. I stopped breathing.

It started with a headache. Then it spiraled into a spring head cold that I do NOT want. In an effort to minimize symptoms I’ve been hitting the thyme tea, thyme honey, and extra-dosing on vitamins. Before going to bed I’m taking a generic version of Nyquil that puts me out quicker than a cat about to upchuck a fur… Read More
