Waiting

by kimanncurtin June 15, 2010

I have a long history with waiting. I’ve not been it’s friend. My last post here is a poem about waiting that someone gave me more than 15 years ago. I still carry it around with me in my wallet. And I’ve replaced the wallet at least 3 times. I’m waiting for a couple of [...]

Prayer by Robert Browning

by kimanncurtin June 7, 2010

Unanswered yet? Faith cannot be unanswered. Her feet were firmly planted on the Rock; Amid the wildest storms she stands undanuted, nor quails before the loudest thunder shock.

When there is a specific intention intended. But I would suggest that 9 times [...]

All of them had one thing in common: Failure to Communicate Look shit happens. Sometimes we need to think things through, need more time than we originally requested [...]

by kimanncurtin May 15, 2010

I dropped my phone yesterday in water. I’ve had it for at least 2 years possibly more. I’ve been a mobile only girl since 2001. I’ve never lost my phone or damaged my phone in any way and yet yesterday while I quickly plucked it out I was FURIOUS at myself for dropping it. Among [...]
