Last Monday evening, I cautiously started making changes to this Blog. It’s been awhile, I know….. I changed the website format which I suck at, but, it needed a revamp. I thought since I was doing that, I should update the “About” section. I was at a work conference downtown on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday….

(A letter to my younger self) Let me preface by saying I will get back to Take Me Out. However, this piece is important in making my “whole” point. I was watching my favorite mindless T.V. show, Married at First Sight, a couple of weeks ago. Nick gives me crap all the time but, I…

                                                        ****DISCLAIMER*** This is the first time I started a Blog and felt like it had too many weaving parts to connect in one post. I decided I should leave this open as a living and breathing document. Leaving space for reflection and memories, as I make my point. It might take 2 or 3…

I’ve made 5 drafts since my last post. I keep writing them, going back and fixing them but, the storyline doesn’t connect. I hope today’s does. On Friday, April 29th, I was driving in my car listening to my compilation of songs. It typically plays the same songs over and over again, regardless of how…

It’s only been two “Holiday seasons” since Bug passed, almost 3. It seems so much longer than that but, yet still not real. It’s so hard to explain. To be honest, if someone would have told me then, what was going to happen, and that I’d still be here, I wouldn’t have believed them. I’ve…

32 months since Aria passed away. 321, 21 and 32 have always been my favorite numbers. In celebration of my 32nd birthday, I got my Three Two One tattoo on my clavicle. Its been 793 days……… It’s a Wednesday and its the 6th. As a artist and now a writer, I am very protective of…

I initially passed on writing this blog. I don’t want to accept that she is gone. And I don’t wantpeople to read about how painful it is for me – because that makes the pain tangible. So I procrastinated and avoided getting started on it. I told myself let’s get back into pretending she isn’t…

My name is Amy Berg Not Amy, Not Berg, Only AmyBerg- Aria made sure to let everyone know that is how I should be addressed. I have been friends with the crew for over 15 years. Friends that have become my family. For most of Aria’s life, I lived in Los Angeles so my visits…

For those of you who don’t know me, my name is Alli. I have been friends with Brittani, Ashlee, and the Senser/Rackner family for almost 24 years. They are the sisters I never had. We are family even when we don’t want to be. Gini refers to me as her “3rd daughter.” We are sisters. I…

Well, its been awhile. I know I have been inconsistent. I promised I would continue writing, but, I haven’t known what to write about. I had writers block, until today. When I think too hard about what to write, it feels forced. So I choose not to. When I started this Blog, the goal was…
