Finding My Voice

I have an eating disorder.  This is an issue that has been lying dormant for a very long time and only came to light in a way that it is clearly definable in the recent months.  Not only is it a disorder, but it’s an addiction. I am a binge eater.  I have always used … Continue reading »

Rocks

I’ve been obsessed with rocks lately.  Well, “obsessed” is an overstatement.  I guess I’ve just been much more aware of their presence in the world lately.  I find myself being curiously magnetized to certain rocks during my daily walks or while out at recess with the kids.  I mean, it’s not every rock I see … Continue reading »

You Never Know….

I think I spread a nice warm fuzzy last night…. and I touched my own heart in the process. You see, several years ago when I was freshly separated (and not yet divorced), I enrolled in school.  It wasn’t the easiest thing in the world to do, what with school starting just two days after … Continue reading »

Happy Feet

I am the Sunday School teacher at my Spiritual Community.  It is a job I enjoy for so many different reasons; one of them being that I learn a lot about my own self as a child and even who I am today as I teach the kids.  I am a firm believer that you … Continue reading »

My Path To Freedom

My 31st birthday recently came to pass on July 8 and in celebration, without even realizing my intent, I forgave my mother. If you’ve been a follower of my blog since last summer, you are probably aware of the trials I have faced along  the bumpy road toward making peace with my mother. However on … Continue reading »

A Temporary Farewell….

I have decided to step away from the blogosphere for a little while.  So this will be my final post for an undetermined amount of time. I’ve been feeling this need to withdraw for the past month and just tonight after finishing a long phone conversation with a fellow blogger, I have clarity as to why I … Continue reading »

I Have A Secret…

This week has been exceedingly delightful yet  agonizingly confusing.  I feel like I’ve been struggling with a tip of the tongue syndrome from my own soul which has left me full of life and paradoxically bereft of any sense of purpose. I’ve been digging relentlessly for my own answers to the simple question, “Who am I?” … Continue reading »

Learning to Exhale

Hi, my name is Currie and I make mistakes.  Welcome to my support group. Yesterday, I had a horrible day that almost immediately began with a hiccup which quickly snowballed  into more issues and before I knew it, I was a walking cess pool of neuroses.  It was not pleasant. It’s days like yesterday that make me want to extract … Continue reading »

The Road Home

Have you ever lost the person you loved most in the world?  Have you ever dealt with the numb pain of saying good-bye forever, as you try to move forward without a chunk of your heart?   I have.   Though I cannot say for sure what day my Godfather died, I believe today marks the anniversary … Continue reading »

There’s No Place Like Home

Yesterday, I sat in the Doctor’s office waiting to be seen about a recurring bleach chemical burn I’ve had to endure for the last five months.  As I sat waiting to be told that there was nothing they could do and that I would have to be patient until an appointment opened up with the … Continue reading »
