Refining Life's Ragged Edges

I seriously hate writing about me. What do you tell people? The customary who I am, where I'm from? Those are all well and fine but gets kinda redundant, doesn't it? If you want to know me, come read a long. I'm an open book - or at least try to be. I try to write a little about everything. I should one day find my niche, one day. I figure, if I keep writing eventually it’ll come. Mostly I write to help inspire. This world can be a pretty damn scary place to live in. The hate crimes. The sexual violence. The bombings and shootings. I want to be able to shed some hope. Even just a sliver. Something to help someone take another step in their day. I started this blog in the hopes I could help change a dark and hatred filled world. I'm not exactly sure I'm actually doing it or not. But, I'm trying. I also write to get the practice I need. Sometimes I’ll be sweet and awe inspiring. Other times I’ll show a bit of my true self with some dripping sarcasm and stupid humor. Then there are other times I just don’t make sense. Bear with me! When you come across my page, please feel free to leave me comments - about anything. Open forum. Open door. Open, open, open. I like having discussions about feelings (ya right) and hearing opinions of others about what I write. And other times, it’s just nice to know that someone out there goes through some of the same things I do. Thanks bunches in taking the time to stop on by! ~Pearls xoxo

Walking Your Path

Ever look at your past and feel humbled by it? The last few days I have been thinking a lot about my past. The things that were good. The things that were not so good. It's probably because I have... Continue Reading →

Fri-Yay!

Thank bloody goodness it is Friday. It has been a long week. My funny-find-a-way-to-inspire-me blog on Monday didn't do the trick. Maybe I just needed to reread it over and over and over again this week. Lesson learned. But,  I... Continue Reading →

Use Your Wings

Use your wings… My boss sends us the Tuesday Loves or Wednesday Loves or Friday Loves. I'm sure you get the picture. One thing I know about my boss is she is a force to be reckoned with and someone... Continue Reading →

Hawaiian Creole

It's around this time every year I get really home sick. My mid-year crisis of wanting home. Though I was born and raised in Hawaii, the Pacific Northwest has staked its claim as being the place I belong. But, there... Continue Reading →

Dear M.D.

I've never really addressed you. I always skirt around what you do to me. I always pretend that I am ok. After all, I am a fighter, is that not what fighters do? I always try to put band aids... Continue Reading →

Monday Musings

Give me coffee or give me death! Ok, maybe that isn't at all what Patrick Henry intended in his convention speech but it seemed fitting considering this is Monday. I love my job but on Mondays as I travel with the heavy traffic... Continue Reading →

Can’t Cast The First Stone

A few days ago I saw something online that really upset me. I had wrote and drafted a response to these people. The clock said it was nearly one in the morning, I was tired, and my emotions were just... Continue Reading →

Here Comes Your Rainbow

Hold, please! This is a common phrase in my every day life. I say it to my husband, my friends, my coworkers and now to the birthday bash. It is day three of my blog blast and I will not... Continue Reading →
