Something a simple as dress color

As you may or may not have noticed from the photo in my post about engagement rings, I did not have a white dress on. Also, my wedding was über small and not at all to my liking. Yes, shamefully, we gave in. We had a very small and very reform Jewish ceremony. (Though Eric was and never will be Jewish or of Jewish heritage.) I was not happy to do that then. And later on, I was happy to have done it. Now, I’m pissed that I let them talk me into it. I somewhat, sort of, some days...

I’ve been dealing with the notion of forgiveness lately. I’ve had a few incidents that happened while my stint in Miami. If you’re wondering why I upped and moved so quickly, well… I’m not ready to go public with too many details but a “close” family member has hurt me one billion times over. Basically it stands that I feel I deserve an entire host of apologies by someone who has shown no remorse. Forgiving In “Forgiveness is typically defined as...

Following up to my post regarding my father’s recent passing, I decided to embed a short slideshow of photos since the aforementioned post only had a self-portrait. Having scanned in older photos, I give you this: See the album...
