Tattoo!!
(blog entry)
It's time. I've got the itch..... I need it to be scratched.....with an ink-covered vibrating needle!
So I'm dreaming up the next piece. It'll be a chest piece, and I still don't have it formulated in me brain.
If you come across any bad-ass che...

Holy shit. What happened? I feel like I'm blinking awake....but I swear I only closed my eyes for a moment!!
I've been trying to find my footing in the tempest. Life's been buffeting me back and forth between family struggles, job problems and re...

Pema Chodron, can she rescue me from the depths of despair?

"Rather than letting our negativity get the better of us, we could acknowledge that right now we feel like a piece of shit and not be squeamish about taking a good look. That's the compassionate thing to do. That's the brave thing to do.

This is my first foray into an ongoing volunteer position. I have spent the last month reading and learning about the arena of sexual and domestic violence. I have spent 40 hours wi...
