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

The Setting Sun

The sun has set on the first half of the year. I traveled most of the day today willing to spend even just a few hours with my mom. I left my home with the sun on my back warming... Continue Reading →

Characters In Your Story

It always a pleasure to meet you. At the age of 32 I have been able to meet so many different and colorful people in my life. I haven't been able to travel the world like I had originally thought. But,... Continue Reading →

My Now

Dreams can come true, can't they? As a little child before jumping into the pool, or the lake, or the ocean you would cautiously feel for the temperature of the water. You would make sure it was a comfortable feeling... Continue Reading →

Out of the Box

It is the end of my adventure. Boise was fun. Lots of writing was done and on top of that I got to spend it with some awesome friends. As my vacation winds down I am excited. Thrilled. Very animated... Continue Reading →

A Single Tear

It goes to show that a heart will always want what a heart wants. As I stood at the bank of the river I was reminded of the calming presence it portrays. I was reminded of the soothing sounds it sings.... Continue Reading →

Adventures of a Nut

Today I embark on a journey that I probably have been waiting my whole life for. I have dreamt of being good at writing since I was a wee kid. I have always enjoyed the activity. I have always wrote.... Continue Reading →

Loves Sunset

Darkness. It's like drowning but with no water. No matter how hard. No matter how fast. You are still a broken daughter. Heart. Shattered into tiny diamonds. Piece by piece. Sharp as knives. Left with the unnaturally, unwanted silence Mind... Continue Reading →

You Are Enough

This morning started off as a real struggle. I was glad to have had my office to myself as I spent much of the morning in tears. It felt like this morning everything had to hit. I've been having some... Continue Reading →
