On being “strong”

August 29, 2015August 31, 2015 / CrazyKat1963 / 26 Comments

Ocean Waters 2, 10" x 10" oil on canvas “To share your weakness is to make yourself vulnerable; to make yourself vulnerable is to show your strength.” ~Criss Jami I find the above quote so intriguing. When I think of it in terms of Blue Eyes, I think sure that is his greatest challenge. To … Continue reading On being “strong”

The difference between an affair and an addiction

August 28, 2015November 27, 2018 / CrazyKat1963 / 9 Comments

I was just over at Cheater Fantasy's Blog commenting on her post: 'Sex and Love Addiction'. At the end of the post she poses the following question: "How does a sex addict differ from a person who has an affair?" I have thought a great deal about this question over the months, especially as I read other … Continue reading The difference between an affair and an addiction

Protecting my heart

August 24, 2015August 25, 2015 / CrazyKat1963 / 15 Comments

After hours and hours of individual trauma therapy, one of the pivotal pieces of advice I ostensibly came away with was that I needed to take better care of myself. I needed to focus more on what truly makes me a whole person and not focus so much on the needs of others. I had done … Continue reading Protecting my heart

Love is a precious gift

August 19, 2015August 19, 2015 / CrazyKat1963 / 18 Comments

"The most precious gift you can give to the one you love is your true presence." -Thich Nhat Hanh I cut back on my blog reading and writing, trying to spend less time in front of a computer screen and more time being present with Blue Eyes in the evenings. I have arrived at a … Continue reading Love is a precious gift

Ocean Waters

August 14, 2015May 21, 2016 / CrazyKat1963 / 17 Comments

'Blue Ocean Waters', 12" x 12", oil on canvas Blue Eyes and I watched an episode of the Netflix series 'Chef's Table' a couple weeks ago. I think we began at the end in that I wanted to specifically watch the story about New Zealand chef Ben Shewry, who now runs the kitchen at Attica Restaurant … Continue reading Ocean Waters

Showers

August 12, 2015August 12, 2015 / CrazyKat1963 / 20 Comments

As I stood in the shower this morning, going about the usual routine of washing and conditioning my hair, cleansing my body, shaving my legs, activities that don't require much thought, I realized in my mind I was planning the day ahead. I was thinking about what was on the schedule. I had spoken to … Continue reading Showers

The good news

August 5, 2015August 9, 2017 / CrazyKat1963 / 18 Comments

Above: a sweet treat upon arrival in Victoria. Every afternoon in the Gold Lounge at The Fairmont Empress they serve tea and scones plus other sweet treats like this cute mini chocolate cupcake with raspberry frosting. The vast majority of our 26th wedding anniversary trip was really quite wonderful, romantic, loving, and intimate with some sightseeing … Continue reading The good news

The good news, or the bad news?

August 4, 2015 / CrazyKat1963 / 9 Comments

What would you like first? Well, I have chosen to go with the bad first. The good will come next. I always choose bad news first, when given a choice. We returned last night from our five day anniversary trip to Victoria, British Columbia.  On the trip, a couple of things were obvious. First, I … Continue reading The good news, or the bad news?
