'...If someone's never had to think about money, you can see it in their faces. They haven't ever had that worry, dripping away year after year. It wears a groove in you. Stains you.'

Old Baggage by Lissa Evans

She often has days like today, days when she thought she might literally die of boredom and yet could think of no event or encounter that might alleviate the condition, says when she felt entirely hollow, like a plaster cast - or a ship without ballast, heeling slowly on a windless sea.

Lissa Evans' Old Baggage

Lissa Evans’ Old Baggage

It’s 1928 and, in Britain, women of property now have the vote thanks to brave and tireless women like Mattie Simpkin.  Even so, Mattie stays in contact with her suffragette sisters, continues to lecture on her experiences and for the right of all women to vote.  She also carries a small club of polished ash in her handbag and lives in a charming old house called the Mousehole with her friend…

New Song: Stuck In Traffic

New Song: Stuck In Traffic

I wrote this modified blues piece, Stuck in Traffic, to work through some old baggage I needed to release.

The image below is one of my photos taken at the Hollister Downtown Association’s Street Festival a few years back. I grinned when I saw  this pic. The scene reminded me of old stuff I had stacking up that really needed to go bye bye 🙂

I love the quirky nature of the piece and hope you do…

Letting go

There’s something I’m willing to share with you today. I was a victim of an abusive relationship. Everyday I wake up feeling emotional drained and worried because I wanted to find a way to fix my relationship so bad. Until one day I came across a woman name Gala Darling & her book Radical Self Love. It is self loving and following your dream guide that teaches he to live the life you always wanted to live. This woman and her book has been a blessing in disguise for me. Since starting this new journey, I learn what the main problem of my relationship was. I know for sure it wasn’t me. So, I learn to stop blaming myself for not being the person my partner wanted me to be. In the end, I broke the relationship off because I realized that my sanity and health is more important than being in a relationship with someone who doesn’t see me as top priority or for my beauty inside and out. This definitely was not an easy thing to do because I was in the relationship for so long, and it still hurts. But, I learn that I don’t need my ex to make me happy. I make myself happy and that’s all that matters.

Having flashbacks to every time I stayed quiet in high school after 9/11, and the handful of times I raised my voice and it didn't make any difference.

Fuck that junkyard.
