Beaches

This was a classic slumber party movie for any girl in the 80's and 90's. The music is just as fantastic as it used to be and I was happy to find I could still quote most of the movie. At least the best lines I remembered :)

This movie reminds me of pen pals and friendship. And it just warms my heart.

Parts of this movie just broke me, not only as an adoptee but a human. Hard to imagine that this is a true story. I think this is too close for me to be objective on it so I might have to redo this one again later. But here are some thoughts on this amazing story.

Although this was a poorly reviewed movie- I always enjoyed this one. It reminds me of those early days where being gay was mostly pride parades and rainbows. Not a movie you can find around too much anymore, but will always be one of my favorites- with a great soundtrack.

Endometriosis

Tue, 25 May 2021 04:30:09 -0000

I have suffered with Endometriosis since I was 12 or 13 years old. I can't really remember life without it. But it is a debilitating, horrendously painful condition impacting 1 in 10 women. There is no cure for it. I recorded this one in the middle of an endo flare tonight, partially as a reminder to myself that I can continue to do hard things when it feels like it is crushing me. To my fellow Endo Warriors, I see you, I feel you, and I am in the trenches with you.

Deep Thoughts

Tue, 07 Jul 2020 10:00:51 -0000

This is an episode I recorded a week or so ago that I was going to use at some point. I am going home for a trip at the end of the month and I will be sitting down with my parents to interview them. So this is all about aging parents and asking the questions you want to ask or questions others have said they wished they would have asked while they had the chance.
