The courage of Chely Wright

2010-05-08T09:06:00.001-05:00

From MSNBC: Country singer Chely Wright finally decided to "come out" recently because she could not live with the lie any longer. She was gay, felt that she always had been, and the fact that she had to "hide" it was about to kill her--.literally. Listen to what she has to say: "“Country music is typically known to be conservative,” she said. “Our fan base is conservative; pretty much

"See there's this place in me where your fingerprints still rest, your kisses still linger, and your whispers softly echo. It's the place where a part of you will forever be a part of me." --Gretchen Kemp As I read this quote on Facebook this morning I couldn't help but be reminded of a book I just read recently. It is a book by Johnny Cash's first wife Vivian and it is called "I Walked The Line.

Uno

2010-01-03T18:28:00.000-06:00

I'm thinking about Uno today. No, not the card game, but the Uno that sits on a shelf in our spare bedroom most of the time. There is a REAL Uno who is a beagle but MY Uno is only a small stuffed dog. The real Uno took 1st place at the Westminster dog show in February of 2008. Theresa and I happened to watching that day and were talking about this little dog's spirit. Most dogs in the show are

"Us" time (ie..Making Your Significant Other Important)

2009-12-30T21:08:00.001-06:00

I haven't posted in a while and I have to admit that it's mainly because I've been having some "troubled" thoughts about certain parts of Heart and I's relationship lately that I did not want to make public. I needed some time to think on these things and to sort out some of my feelings. It's kind of tough to write a public blog yet keep all your personal thoughts private. So if I am "quiet"

2009-12-22T12:20:00.000-06:00

I came across an interesting blog called: "Discovering Pride: Coming Out Midlife" Written by a woman, who was in a heterosexual relationship for 20 years, the blog seems to be an awesome resource for those who are discovering themselves later in life. (I wonder if Meredith Baxter read this?) The author of this blog also has a website and a coaching service for those needing guidance. Check it out

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – Meredith Baxter, a star of the 1980's sitcom "Family Ties", said on Wednesday she was a lesbian as media reports and published photos of her and a woman embracing began to surface in public.

Last night

2009-11-25T10:04:00.000-06:00

For a moment last night everything was right again. When you took my in your arms and held me I could imagine for a while that we could stay like that forever..but it was only for a little while. Through warm tears, I felt your fingers soft across my forehead, brushing away stray bits of hair, almost like a mother would do. and I wonder..how can the same arms that held me close cause me so much

I haven't posted here in a long time and I have been feeling kind of guilty about that. A blog should be updated on a regular basis, but lately I have been kind of at a loss as to what to say.. Writer's block maybe? I'm going to try to break out of that a little bit today.. I titled my post "Blue" because that is how I'm feeling at the moment. Blue, because Thanksgiving is coming soon and "

Do you believe in soul-mates? I do. For as long as I can remember, I have always believed that there was at least one very special someone out there for each of us. The subject of soul-mates is something I've wanted to blog about for a while now, but tonight seems to be the most perfect opportunity. You see, MY soul-mate, Heart, is far away from me right now and I think it is when soul-mates are

To Cry (The Healing Garden)

2009-09-24T14:49:00.022-05:00

I'm going to write about something today that affects not just people in same-sex relationships but all people, and that is, sadness. After giving it some thought, I have decided to add a new element to my blog. It is called "The Healing Garden". A real healing garden, sometimes found in hospitals is a place that you can go to relax, destress and of course, heal. Not to mention, pray. Because

Tonight, I thought I would blog about the pros and cons of being in a same-sex relationship. Pros: See most of my previous posts Cons: 1. PMS! I HATE PMS. I hate to have it and I hate to see someone else experience it. It's just a miserable situation and there's nothing that will cure it except lots of chocolate and maybe a few frequent trips to Burger King (I'll have 10 Whoppers (Super-size

Turtles (the plastic kind)

2009-09-11T19:41:00.016-05:00

If you have ever been to our house, you will know that we keep two small plastic turtles by our bathroom sink. Specifically, we keep them in the guest bathroom, which is decorated in a very beachy/ocean theme. They sit by our sea shells--some of which we picked up as we walked along the shore. Why, you may ask, do we keep plastic turtles by our bathroom sink? Let me tell you.. I found them in

Patsy was the reason

2009-09-08T15:41:00.026-05:00

September 8 I thought I would write a little something today about the late great Patsy Cline who would have been 77 years old today had she lived. Unfortunately she was killed in a terrible plane crash on evening of March 5, 1963 (the year that I was born) near Camden TN. In case you didn't know, Patsy was returning home from a benefit concert that she had done to help the family of a DJ

Well, can't let True have all the fun, can I? This is the very first time I have blogged in my entire life, and I'm thrilled. First, thanks to my loving partner True for setting this up and getting it started. I admit, I've been pretty lax in not contributing, but have read her blogs, and sometimes feel that they are so good, that I have nothing to add. On top of that, I'm usually busy as hell

Because you have dimples..

2009-09-03T17:10:00.001-05:00

I'm back! I thought I would start off with this today..I asked my partner "Heart" today if she loved me and of course she said "Yes!" (I know that she does but I like to hear her say it.) I then asked her, "Why do you love me?" She said it was because I had dimples. That and the fact that she liked to feel my bare butt backed up to hers at night. (ok..she didn't say butt, she said ass)Then she

When pain walks in

Sequel to my last post:What do you do when hurt or pain walks into your life? When true heartache comes in and makes you feel like you could sit and cry for hours and even then, you would not stop? I'm not being dramatic here--I think that we have all been there at some point in our lives..Whether you are heterosexual, homosexual or bi-sexual, there will always be pain or hurt that comes into

What a beautiful subject--especially if the person you are with is extraordinarily lovely. Have you ever felt that you just couldn't take your eyes off someone? That you just had to be with someone? That

Are people born "gay"?

2009-07-21T19:03:00.059-05:00

Are people born gay? It's an interesting question. My mother sent me an e-mail yesterday that led us to discuss this very subject. She told me that she had seen a television program this past Sunday night in which an actor (John Barrowman) explores the subject of his sexual orientation scientifically to see if he can find out why he is who he is. Here are the details: TORCHWOOD’ JOHN

Why a same-sex relationship?

2009-07-20T19:50:00.066-05:00

My mom sent me an interesting e-mail today and I have decided to make it the subject of today's blog post. I had already given some thought as to writing about this at a later time, but today seems like the RIGHT time, so here we go: Question: Why do people get involved in same-sex relationships? Question back: "Why do people get involved in heterosexual relationships?" Answer: Simply, because

Blame it on Patsy Cline

2009-07-09T18:20:00.000-05:00

I suppose I could blame the whole thing on Patsy Cline. It was she after all who brought us together. In case you have just tuned in, this blog is about me..about us- about the person that I love -and yes she IS a woman. Certainly a subject worthy of some "loose talk", don't you think?Patsy Cline sang the song "Loose Talk" in concert many times as it was one of her favorites-yet she never
