Love and Death

Nothing makes you think about life like death.

A good friend of mine lost her boyfriend. He was the same age as my husband.

The death was accidental, and tragic. Yet she said she could feel something coming.

What if you could feel something coming?

I’m not trying to be morbid, but what if you knew? Would you be doing anything differently?

The State of My Relationship

A few months ago, I posted on my SLH FB and Twitter: The state of your relationship is all about the state of your mind.

Today, this statement holds more truth to me than it did back then. In fact, I feel this statement is at the very epicenter of every relationship; the deciding factor in what makes or breaks a relationship.

When I first fell in love with hubbie, I couldn’t imagine my life without him. I was completely invested, ‘til death do us part, and we weren’t even married. Our love was strong, and life was bliss. I had found my man, and I didn’t need anything else.

Then the “stuff” started piling up; at first financial, and then sexual, and that’s when I stopped being invested in the same way. Suddenly I felt different about us, our future, and whether I even wanted one with hubbie anymore. I didn’t start “looking” per se, but I definitely started feeling open to meeting other people, and seeing what might happen…

Sucker for Packaging

I have been a Natracare girl since 2002; organic, all-cotton, non-chlorine bleached, free of all the nasty stuff I started discovering was in feminie hygiene products. Alas, Whole Foods was closed Saturday night at 11 PM and I needed pantyliners. So me and hubbie walked into Ralphs, and that’s when I realized I haven’t looked at feminine hygiene products in almost ten years.

What did I end up buying?
