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

My life is my message. Did you know that Gandhi was a lawyer? Go figure. Anyway, he was so unhappy as a life of a lawyer he sought to remain devout in Hinduism - practice nonviolence, vegetarianism, alcohol and sexual... Continue Reading →

Gandhism 2

An ounce of practice is worth more than tons of preaching. The saying "practice what you preach" is pretty good advice. Those words hold you to your actions, your convictions, your morals. Mostly at least. "Action speaks louder than words,"... Continue Reading →

I'm gearing up for the holiday season and need to be reminded of the special meaning the holidays hold for me. Christmas is my favorite holiday. Not because I'm spoiled and will get a ton of presents but because of... Continue Reading →

Loving the Unlovable

I finally took a vacation. I work a lot at my job, put in a lot of hours. I unselfishly give of myself to the point where I had begun to put my job first and foremost in my life.... Continue Reading →

No More Bullies

A friend told me a story today that hit a nerve. This is more a vent then some proverbial enlightenment. So bear with me. Here is the background of my vent. A sales person is working on her sales goals... Continue Reading →

Right or Wrong

I remember growing up where it was safe. Bad things still happened but we could actually walk to school without the general fear of something happening. The kids could be home alone while our parents worked and it wasn't cause... Continue Reading →

Most Important Piece of Me

I have shared a lot of things on my blog. Except one thing. The most important thing in my life. As important as it is I have chosen to completely disengage in everything that I am in this relationship because... Continue Reading →
