What the Actual Feck?

It’s going to sound like fiction, but it’s not. When Husband and I got in our last fight, and I do mean “the” last fight, he screamed that he never wanted to touch me again . I scared him. He said he no longer felt safe with me. What the…

Breakfast, Baked Goods, and Blow Jobs

And how they might have saved a marriage if I’d have wanted them to — The story ends in divorce from my husband and an estranged relationship with my sister, in which we are no longer speaking. In July, I’ll be jumping ship, at my husband’s request, headed to the central US to be near my children. New life. Phoenix. Reinvent myself. Again. I could…

The Universe Speaks

And I’m finally listening! First of all, happy Ostara — Spring equinox (yesterday). I can feel the fog lift, even though it’s a soggy, rainy day in Washington. New opportunity. Rebirth. New life. Fresh starts. I’m all about it. Let’s go. So one thing about me is that I’ve never…

Because Life

And Eff the Subtitle — It’s been a minute since I’ve shown up here. Since I’ve talked with myself openly and honestly in written word. Life happened. I left off at Sister’s house in December and haven’t been back to write the stories as they played out, but not because I haven’t wanted to. I…

I Smothered Him but it’s His Fault

He needed me as much as I needed him — until his son arrived. — My sister has been my biggest supporter. She’s the one who told me I was wasting my time waiting — waiting for my brothers to make me an offer I can’t refuse. Waiting for word from the job I applied for two weeks ago. Waiting. Instead, I should be writing…

It’s Time I Do Some Shadow Work

Facing the darker aspects of myself — Shadow work isn’t something I’ve delved into before. In fact, I avoided it because I already had so much darkness via bipolar disorder and PTSD that I didn’t need to dig up more negativity. I wasn’t ready. Beyond the Diagnosis Mental illness swallowed my mother whole. She was born with bipolar disorder and anxiety disorder, but those things…natashahawthorn.medium.com

I Want to Cry but I Won’t

I avoided writing because I was also avoiding the truth. I’m trying to keep my head above water, to take the high road and vibrate at a loving frequency, but I’m feeling challenged. There’s a ton of resistence — mostly in my marriage. I’m pretty sure its on its last…

Grandma on Duty

Vacation in progress I hadn’t seen my son in four years. He was stationed in Japan, and his whole family went overseas. My eldest grandson was four years old when they left, and the youngest of the three was just a newborn. Thank the stars for technology. Those babies grew…

Life Demands that You Show Up in Different Form — Everything fell apart for about a year.

The Spark of “I Am”

Attuning to authenticity — When you think about existentialism, you realize that you have to start peeling back layers. Somewhere, deeply rooted beneath other people’s expectations and judgments, is authenticity. That spark of “I Am” that comes into being before anyone tells you who you should be or what you must believe. …
