Femme Flavor

…I guess I expected something more profound. Sure, it’s a lil bigger, a lil brighter… But so far, doesn’t feel a whole lot different from other moons I’ve viewed of late. Guess that’s how it goes sometimes.

So I’ve been thinking about this page and what it represents. What purposes it serves, for me and for those of you who read it. What I hope it has the potential to become. And I’ve decided that I’m going to do a minor overhaul of Femme Flavor as it currently exists, but I don’t want to make it an...

Have I mentioned that I’m not a morning person? Except here’s the thing – when I have some additional reason – something deeper and bigger than getting up for work the same as I do every day – I get up, get ready, feel good about it, and can relax into the rest of my day. I can make a...

Life has felt particularly roller-caster-y of late, with the most prominent comparison not actually being the ups and downs, but the lack of control I feel have over any of it. Which, as I was reminded in my meeting with my sponsor tonight, is a good thing – if I can admit that I have tried to control everything and it hasn’t...

It’s a funny thing. It has its own rules, moves in whatever way it wants, can be held back and urged on by no one. On days like today, it seems to exist on multiple planes, like a complex system of gears of different sizes, each one with its own unique number of rotations per unit of time that passes....

A friend of mine warned me that if I start browsing this site, I won’t be able to stop. It is essentially a collection of quotes and you can choose the color of the background and the resolution and stuff and then download the image. So simple. I may have to create a Pinterest board just for these; maybe choose...

I know you want this blog post to be about the tv show. Hell, I want it to be about the tv show. But I’ll hold that for another entry. Really, it’s just that I had about 72 things that were battling for blog space, and what happened instead is that I got on a roll writing and editing and...

I’m making it. Slowly but surely. My apartment is tidier than it’s been in over two months. My under-eye circles are not quite the bruises they were last weekend. My mind is clearer than it was a minute ago, and clearer still than it was two minutes before that. These are all good things, for which I am grateful. One...

I read a lot of fantasy novels. The genre has been a source of excitement and comfort for me for over twenty years, and it is wonderfully inexhaustible. I’m currently reading The Sorceress by Michael Scott, the third book in a series I’m enjoying quite a bit. Sometimes I think I enjoy reading fantasy because there is always resolution. Most stories...

One of my favorite things about Richard is that he doesn’t make me carry the conversation all session, every session. Or even let me. He shares observations and insight and asks questions but gives them framework first. He heads me off if I start wandering into territory that I occupy primarily out of habit and not by choice. He brings...
