Peacefully Settled

December 4, 2014 Crankygiraffe7 Comments

Tonight I am feeling settled and oddly at peace. I cannot thank you all - my blogging friends and readers - enough for the support you've given me recently while I endure my internal struggles and strife.  The most impactful and appreciative aspect of the support I have here is the honesty with which you all offer… Continue reading Peacefully Settled

Appreciation Dilemma

March 27, 2014 Crankygiraffe5 Comments

Since I found out I will be moving, I have been spending a lot of time thinking about what to give to K to show her my appreciation for everything she has done for me (personally and professionally).  I have told her many times how instrumental she has been in many aspects of my life,… Continue reading Appreciation Dilemma

I want to thank all of you, my blogging friends.  Sometimes I forget how wonderfully connected I am to this little place and it is times like this that remind me how important blogging is in my life.

It’s Been a Long Time…

“It’s been a long time since I came around Been a long time but I’m back in town And this time I’m not leaving without you” ~Stefani Germanotta (Lady Gaga) I know I haven’t been here blogging for quite a long time (almost a year and a half…), but there was something about blogging that […]

The Common Sense Problem
