Author: Simply Dee In D.C.

I have tons of education and don't use it! I am non-traditional and traditional rolled into one person. I am a Christian, but need work! I am conservative fiscally, but I could care less who someone marries. My favorite things to do are: hang out with my kid, watch movies, read, write, sing, dance, love, live life to the fullest! I love: my kid, my cat, my guy, God, rain, chocolate, Christmas, friends, cats, animals in general, honesty, avocados, love, Hallmark channel, iced coffee, Harry Potter, NYC, England, Italy, D.C., Paris and autumn.

With everything that is going on around the world, we are exposed to crises on a daily basis each time we scroll through our feeds. So naturally, one day gender equity is our thing, one day it is equal wages, another morning we are moved by farmers’ plight, and then…

So, a chasm can’t easily be filled- a poem

.Reading time 1 minute.

The world’s best wines A 5 star meal Binge watching a show A kiss from your love None can fill the gap The pain is too great Earthly pleasure won’t suffice Leaning on a friend Crying until tears can’t come Will not easily enclose a chasm An emptiness so large There is no room for […]

So long overdue for a poem; I’m drowning in disbelief

.Reading time 3 minutes.

I’m drowning in disbelief. The queen of my story is gone. Never to return until the ethereal event in the sky. My reason for being and my reluctant best friend. At times we seemed like foes, the ties were superhuman. A true ally in my life won’t be a part of my daily. I drown […]

So, when you feel like you can’t do more, why dwell?

.Reading time 7 minutes.

So, I feel like there is literally nothing else I can do to help my mom. She has no motivation to be stronger or to fight in this super scary and monster sized cancer battle she is in. The worst part is she doesn’t even know that she has the most deadly form of brain […]

So, apparently no good deed is true- a poem

.Reading time 5 minutes.

    Frustrated to the brim is how days are ruled Running is a dream but leaving is not a choice The need to cry is great but I cannot reveal the tears Like the boy crying wolf, with each time meaning less Trying with might to suppress the flow of sorrow After all, life is good, […]

    So, unconditional love really is a Jesus thing…

    .Reading time 5 minutes.

    So, we all want to say that we have unconditional love. But what we have isn’t anywhere near the love Jesus Christ has for us. I am no Biblical expert and totally not even close to being perfect, but I do know that a human cannot truly embody unconditional love. UCL comes with no judgement, […]

    So, this is more of a Wondering about truth and honesty…

    .Reading time 7 minutes.

    So, sometimes I do a Wednesday’s Wit, Wisdom, Wondering. This post today is all about wondering. Why are people afraid/offended/in denial about the truth? For many people nowadays, it seems being blissfully ignorant is the theme of the times. If someone is too straightforward and just lays it out there then they are considered the […]

    So, mom is very ill and I am scared!

    .Reading time 6 minutes.

    So, yeah, my mom has a brain tumor. A glioblastoma. The words you NEVER want to hear about yourself or your loved ones. It is all encompassing. The foreign term has clouded my thoughts and jaded my faith and shook me to my core. Since hearing this on January 24th, so much has happened. A […]
