My domain home, which is primarily used as a professional website. It houses my resume and other boring things employers need to know.

Seriously
I will soon be co-hosting a blog about the t.v. show Grey's Anatomy because my life could not get any more exciting.

My Blog
I put this here just in case you couldn't find your way back home.

Disclaimer:

I write about my life on this blog. And my life, like yours, is totally unpredictable. I cannot control the course of events, nor can I control the actions of the other characters, or my own reactions for that matter. So I write it down. To make it real. I apologize if you make a cameo appearance resulting in low ratings. It's not my fault that you continued to read about how much I hate you.

One Deep Breath: Legacy

My mother's scent

She leaves me with the
smell of blueberry muffins
baked in kitchen walls.

Book of recipes
bound by wrinkled hands is my
mother's legacy.

But all I leave are
words and an empty kitchen
burning with her scent.

**
Go to One Deep Breath to read more haiku about legacies.

These are nice, I wrote about cooking, too. Aren't those memories strong?

Well done. I feel all three parts, and the last part is not a great feeling. I don't think anybody in my family matches my mother's cooking skill.

I love the aroma of well used kitchen and the memories of smell that i knew as a child,
I also love words. Yours are arranged beautifully. My dad loved words and he left them to me and I'm glad. Thanks for stopping by Michelle.
