    I’m Sorry

    Tuesday, May 4th, 2010

    While returning to my car from inside the grocery store, I heard a lady yell out her window, “I’m sorry. I’m a human BE-ing.”

    Not entirely certain what sparked her apology, but I totally smiled.

    Having spent a majority of my life striving for perfection, I have realized in the last half-decade that perfection is just not as awesome as I had hoped it could be. Instead, I have learned to not only allow, but to appreciate my imperfections. I have learned to use them as a means to enhance the person I am.

    My Skin

    Monday, January 18th, 2010

    For your reading pleasure, Natalie Merchant’s song, “My Skin” (Click Above)

    Today I was introduced to a woman with whom I work. A woman whom until today, I had never met.

    Several hours later, she approached my desk with a sample of a skin care product attached to her business card. Unsolicited, she acted like she knew I needed it. She could see that I have acne. She told me this product helped all these women she knew, and that it came with a 60 day money back guarantee, and that she would like to hear if I’ve tried out the sample by next Monday.

    Black Suede Heels

    Wednesday, December 23rd, 2009

    There’s something about heels that make me feel like a woman.

    I have a pair of 4-5″ black suedes with a tiny strap around the ankle which do the job quite nicely.

    Now that I’ve succumbed to a life of flats– by my own choosing, due to the nature of unbalance and back and knee problems which result in daily wear of crazy sexy heels– I sometimes forget what a shoe will do for my sense of self.

    Of course, if you don’t wear them regularly, they are a little… wobbly to walk in. Yet I have the uncanny ability to fake it. Until you add a little alcohol. No one warned us that Landon’s holiday party would be aloft three flights’ worth of stairs. Steep stairs.

    Yes, I AM going to the party by myself.

    Saturday, April 21st, 2007

    Have you ever personally tried to get to know yourself?

    Honestly, in going through this experience of getting to know so many people, I have sometimes forgotten that I need to also know who I am, what I bring into the experience, too. I think it’s a priceless exercise! I have been in the dating world since I was seventeen-ish, and I’ve repeated some pretty curious behaviors over the last *gasp* ten years. I go through the process of getting to know a person, then for one reason or another– whether it be on my part or his, we have come to know each other well enough– and then we moved onto our next victim(s). *grin*In all this time, I’ve slowly been getting to know myself– to know my wants and desires. I’ll try one thing, give it a whirl, and then depending on how it turns out, learn from the experience and essentially move along. Eventually, in time, I’m quite certain that I will know what I truly want from companionship and partnership. It seems, though, that because I haven’t truly made an effort to get to know ME, then I would expect that perhaps what I know of myself isn’t truly enough to aim for what I really want. You see what I’m saying here?
