Mental slap to the head...


So, I was having this moment where I was pissed off and depressed about something – god, please, no cyber hugs – people are allow to feel down without having that extra, ooky crap thrust on them…anyway I went to meet up with a friend who is just about to undergo chemo due to breast cancer. She was telling me how scared she was and unsure how she would react and if it would change her as a person. I said she was one of the stronger, more positive people I knew and couldn't image her not being able to get through chemo nor could I see her change because  strong people dealt with stuff and moved on better for it. Yeah. Uh-huh. I thought about what was getting me down before seeing her and I gave myself a good, hard mental slap because my worries were minuscule compared to hers. Sometimes you just have to hear yourself talk to realize that you don’t always talk crap and maybe it’s worth blanking out the dark side for a moment to listen to your own advice.

Cosmic Voo Doo...


I got an email from a radio show asking that I consider spending X amount of money for X amount of time on air to discuss my tips on romance, dating and finding love. Yes, I’m sure many writers got the same email. While I wish that radio show luck, being a writer has nothing to do with being an expert on romance. 99% of the time we’re not. We’re no smarter with love than any other bugger on the planet. Yes, we may use our imagination more but in my opinion love is just a weird emotion that plays with your mind and to be successful at love is something that comes from within you and that speaks to another person and some other cosmic voo doo that no one can work out.

Some people never fall in love. Some people fall so madly into it that they stay with the one person forever. Others fall in love with someone they can never have. As I writer can I tell you why that happens? Nope. It just does. There is no advice I can give someone on romance other than to be yourself and do what feels right for you and if it never happens then get on with your life. 

Again, love is weird. Genuinely like who you are first – you’re with yourself a long time - and worry about the rest later.

Ah, I see...

I don’t believe in all that greeting card hype of muses. I do believe that some people come into your life for a reason. I believe that being handed the gift of talking to someone who's seen it all and done it all and is no longer surprised by what life throws at them is priceless. Just by the simple act of asking their advice often leads you to where you’re supposed to go.


Yeah, that's about as Zen as I get but thanks you...
