Original poetry by MahButtItches She writes because she cares about asses
The Ride of a Lifetime
Jess knew this one was special as soon as she swiped right. She could see a loss or some desperate plea in his eyes, and she felt a connection immediately. Jess didn’t question it because questions lead to too many thoughts. Too many thoughts lead Jess to do questionable things, so she has consistently found... Continue Reading →
Superliminal Messaging: Hey You, Go Meditate!
I’d like to spend more time focusing on my writing about meditation because it is the most important choice I have made in my life. I am not going to attempt to convert anyone to any religion because I’m not a religious person. Meditation came to me because of mental illnesses and a strong desire... Continue Reading →
The Elephant in the Room
The Universe Herself seems to be beating me about the head to write. So, here I am. Last night, I watched this video where Joe Polish beautifully, eloquently, and genius-ly speaks about his addictions. You know how, when you buy a new car, you suddenly see your car everywhere, but before you had never noticed it? Or,... Continue Reading →
Dear ____, (#1)
Dear ____, I hope you do not mind my letter, but I thought it was important to send. I heard a song that made me think of you. Well, you told me about the song, so it always makes me think about you. Sometimes, I wonder if I will ever hear music and not think... Continue Reading →

What If I’m Wrong (Part 2 of 3)

What If I Am Wrong? (Part 1 of 3)
(Splitting this long post into 3, because I hate ridiculously long blog posts...) Those five words echo hauntingly in my mind. There is a part of me that wonders what I would be able to accomplish if I did not second guess myself constantly. I read not that long ago that people born under a... Continue Reading →
One Mom’s Itchy Butt #8
Hip Opening exercises are amazing for releasing emotion. What is not amazing is dealing with the emotions that arise, if you've spent years disconnecting from or repressing them. I realized my bad mood yesterday was the first wave of the emotional surge. I was expecting sadness, but I was trying to keep everything open, and just... Continue Reading →
Enligh-tainment – Coheed & Cambria
Starting another focus on the blog. In addition to being a crazy mom, I'm also a crazy music junkie, spirit junkie, and chocolate junkie. In these posts, I'm going to focus on music/movies/TV shows that have helped me venture further within, connect with myself/soul, and grow as a person - emotionally, intellectually, and spiritually. My... Continue Reading →
