Recovery
She was in her mid forties, aged but beautiful. Tall and thin, fair skin, long brown and silver hair. Recently single. Her husband of 20 years had an affair with a Romanian coworker. He begged for her back but she decided it was time to move on; the trust was gone. She was damaged but healing and confident in her future. For the first time in her life she could focus on herself. So much of her life had been spent tending to others needs. Now was her time.

True love
The Merriam-Webster dictionary’s definition of love is quite complicated. An oversimplified definition is an intense feeling based on kinship or personal ties, or sexual desire, or common interests. Other words for love could be fondness, tenderness, intimacy, devotion, adoration, idolization, passion, desire, lust, infatuation, compassion, care, caring, regard, concern, friendship, kindness, charity, goodwill, sympathy, kindliness, unselfishness, benevolence, brotherliness, sisterliness, humanity, affair, romance, intrigue, amour. Never has one word had so much meaning. I would debate it may be one of the most important words in the entire English language.

Identity Crisis
Throughout life you pick up tiny bits of wisdom, here and there. Some you disregard, others stick to you like those prickly things that cling to your pants when you walk through the woods. Though you may try, it seems you cannot get rid of them. One of those bits of wisdom that has been clinging to me recently is JUST BE YOURSELF.

Need Vs Love
There are a few things in my life that are relentless. They just never seem to stop. I think I have a handle on it. I let my guard down. Then, WHOOSH, it is back out of control again. Things like laundry, and people wanting to be fed. For the love of GOD, learn to feed yourselves! I don’t know who put me in charge, or why, but it NEVER stops.

Kids Korner
Cooking healthy nutritious meals is one of the biggest feats for busy moms and dads out there. With all that we do, it is hard to plan, shop, cook, and serve healthy delicious meals. It takes a lot of energy and an investment in time. Often, if you are diligent enough to get a healthy meal on the table, the picky little buggers don't even want to try it. This leaves us feeling deflated and under-appreciated. All of that time, energy, and MONEY has been wasted, and your kids end up asking if they can eat a bowl of cereal instead.

Living with Burnout Based-Depression?
As a woman in my 40s, the pile of pressures continue to add up; a pile of self-imposed pressures stemming from subconscious ideas implanted by books, movies, decades of what a woman should be, can be, and most importantly, wants to be.

Chronicles of a Weirdo MagnetTop Story - October 2017
It is a rare and beautiful occasion when venturing out into the mysterious and unpredictable world that your eyes meet with a complete stranger and the two of you know immediately that you are both thinking the exact same thing. For me when I say this is rare, I MEAN RARE, because I tend to have a very unique perspective on things and for someone, that I have randomly floated into my world, to have the same thought process... let’s just leave it at that, it’s rare.
