On Saturday I have what I hope will be my final tattoo appointment for the blue flowers I’ve been getting inked on my arm. If I hold out long enough and don’t tap out, it can be the last session. If it is, and even if it isn’t, I have a gift for my artist.… →

The Blue Tattoo
I have shared a lot lately about my journey from leaving a Catholic school job and discovering who I am. I’m 42 years old and I am just now figuring out what kind of person I am because up until now, other people determined who I was. My voice didn’t exist and I had no… →
