From Here
I know. It's been some time since I posted anything. But I am here. I promise. I've been trying not to grieve too messily or in a way that will make you all wish you never ran into my blog. To help me to that end, I've decided to go back to my posting every...
Life Ways
My Uncle has a thick band of periwinkle blue embedded between two encircling rounds of brown within his irises. Like the wonder of blue phosphorescence against the pitch black of ocean - it is all that you can see and all that seems to matter. This wonder is...
Dad
My Dad died. The day after the burial anniversary of my Mom. He passed in the early morning hours of the 22nd. I remember waking up the morning of the 22nd, happy that I had weathered the gloom and doom/emotional roller coaster of the past three weeks, my mother...
Sick
My father is sick. Usually he calls me every few weeks but that has been lagging for the past few months. I've made extra efforts to keep in touch but it has been difficult. I didn't grow up with him in my life. And even though I sound like an after school...
Punch
I've been feeling like punching folks.With my thumb tucked neatly inside my palm and my fingers curled around it. As solid of a girl punch as I know how to do or that I've thrown.I haven't of course but that hasn't stopped me from thinking about doing it or...

Clean
I've been watching soap making videos on YouTube for two days. It is half fascination with the process as it is with the woman's voice who I've been listening to. Her voice is soft, soothing and matter of...
Easy
I am not an easy person to love. I am a challenge, a case study in patience. I am complicated. Not on purpose. I'm not sure people set out to be elaborate, thorny bundled masses of Complex® on purpose. It's just what you end up with once Life, situations ... people...
Often
You are looking for me and I will know you when I see you... © 2013 Sandra Jean-Pierre I think of you now, often. in the dim and dark stretches of the night when my back needs rubbing or my soul needs consoling, when my lips need you near to kiss. I imagine our days,...

Again
I've begun crocheting again. I decided that I needed to be doing something more tactile with my hands, instead of cerebral with my mind. The internet is a great place - plenty of spots to learn new things and to discover things about yourself that you never knew...
Strong
It is green. It tastes unapologetic like white-fleshed grapefruit - refreshing and bitter all the same. I know that when I take it in the early mornings, the ferrous fumarate will be slowly released within me for the day. It will break down in the acid of my stomach...
