Back from the dead

I'm not sure if anyone reads this, but my vanity hopes that someone does. So, I continue to write. It has been months since I've last posted. My life and world have changed so much. So much better. It's moved by leaps and bounds and it is only getting better. i want to be a messenger of hope. There's so much more to come. I am alive for the first time in a few years. I was just living my life in Taiwan. Now, I live in Westport, Connecticut. I have a pretty good job that I enjoy and my daughter is happy, healthy, and safe.
Life is great.
Tomorrow is the anniversary of my father's death. I miss him, but I'm not sad. I'm grateful for what he gave me. I'm grateful for what I've become because of him.
Sleepy and I must get to bed, but I need to continue to write and do something for myself in this direction. But, life is getting better and there's so much more to do.

Get my blog on

All is well here in Taipei. Had a bit of a rough patch for a while. Was thinking about leaving Taiwan, my husband, and my life here. I wanted a changed and was totally looking for a geographic one. Didn't do it, obviously. Now, it is time to get a bit more focused and figure out what's next on the old agenda of life. So far I have a few work projects on the burner right now and a couple of freelance things in the works. It is all a blast and I feel fortunate, but then there are the big old goals that are looming ahead.
I've watched "The Secret." OK, everyone has an opinion on it and can see it as a self-help ball of baloney, but I love it. I feel and know that this is what so many people need. It is the answer to so much of what is lacking in our lives. We have so little faith in anything outside of ourselves. I believe in God and that I can have anything that I want, I just have to ask. That feels weird to even write this. Almost as if I'm afraid of being considered cool or something. Don't care at this point. I'd better get back to the family. It's a day off over here because of Lantern Festival so we'll head up to Costco for a bit and then I'll come home and do some work.
My five year Greysheet anniversary is coming up. I can't believe that I've been weighing and measuring my food for the past five years of my life. This is amazing and something I feel so blessed to do. I went from being this huge massive woman to being fit and trim (in parts) and I'm still in awe. I never thought I'd be slim, but here I am and it is amazing. Inside I'm still fat at times, but I'm working on just fully seeing myself as a thin woman.
All right. Off to the Costco. Why did I put an article in front of Costco? Don't know.

Sister Goddess

So, it is 2007. I'm 35 years old right now. I'm sitting here in my living room in Taipei and I'm wondering what is going to happen next. My husband keeps bugging me to blog. He has this silly ass way of thinking that I could make money from blogging. I personally don't see the point. I mean why would anyone do something like this only to make money? There are other ways to make a bit of cash. I can't really think of any, but who knows.
Yesterday we took Catherine to see "Charlotte's Web." It was great, but one of the super cool parts was being recognized by three different guys while we were waiting for the movie to start. I do this little TV spot with my boss that comes on every Thursday morning. It's only a five minute show, but it is scene by these guys in the military. So, I was sitting there and these guys were speaking in Chinese and they were saying my name. It was so cool! They spoke with me and said I was beautiful. They even took a photo with me. Now, I know that I'm not a celebrity or anything, but damn that was one of the neatest things that has happened to me in ages. Those were two of the guys. Later on after the movie, another guy said hello and said that he recognized me from the show. Never in a million years did I think this would happen. I'm thinkin that me has to go to the movie theater more often to get the old ego stroked.
I need to do it more often with my husband. I used to really love sex. I still enjoy it, but I'd actually rather get my hair washed and a shoulder massage. But once I get into it, I love it. It's just the whole getting the grove on that I'm not really good at anymore. I often wonder if I used up all of my orgasms. Is there like a limit or something? Is there a Great Big Book of Orgasms?
I'm trying to get back into my own desires. I sometimes am so clueless about what I want. Oh, I want money. Lots of it, but damn is it hard to get that one going. So, today I will do some work to earn some money and then do some studying on my copywriting course. I've totally put that one on the backburner. Moving it forward. Making time to do the things I need to do and want to do is going to be the priority this week.
Gotta fly.
