We spend our lifetime, not just a summer or two
But a lifetime – waiting – for the dream to come true.
We wait in the rain and the Wrigley Field stands,
We wait at the Cubby Bear, getting drunk with our friends.
We watch them play ball on WGN,
Hoping to hear the screams, “Cubs win, Cubs win!”
Every Spring we wait with renewed hopes and dreams,
We wait with anticipation, we cheer and scream.
When October is over and the season ends,
We wait for the Spring to celebrate again.
We scrutinize the coaches, analyze the players,
Hold our breath – and say our prayers.
The team did it once, after one hundred and eight years
And 2016 was a year of great cheer!
The wait was over and the dream came true,
For those of us that bleed, Cubbie blue.

My soul’s desire has always been to create something from nothing. To sit with a blank screen and craft my stories, poetry and anything that tickles my fancy, from my own unique point of view.
As I thought about what I wanted to create and how I would present it to the world, I decided this site was a platform where I could share my musings and talents. My desire is to connect with others who share my affinity for everyday humor, while navigating through life’s joys and challenges.
I am not a professional writer but I am interested in sharing my inspirations and craziness that is my life as a wannabe writer, poet, storyteller, student, mother, wife, sister, daughter and friend.
My hope is that in sharing my unique perspective on my own experiences, I will in turn touch someone’s life; whether through laughter or tears.
We are all the same, seeking connections and a place to fit in. I welcome all to be inspired and to be inspiring.
