I don't know why I felt compelled to photograph myself at that moment.
I had just told my girlfriend, who was also my best friend, that I thought we should see other people. She was very upset. I was in the grip of heavy guilt.
It worked out for both of us.
A book that confronted me as I stepped into the library... I can't even read a book like this, but I thought it was poignant.
I have read and heard stories about the noise of the Yukon being almost deafening, and huge pieces of ice being thrown onto the beach, sometimes crushing unwary campers.
This is the front of a breakup(ish) note that I found in the front parking lot of the Liberty Tree Mall in Danvers, MA. Sorry, James. Hope you worked it out.

While I was at it, I added a gradient to the sky.
Well I know that I'll get through this
'Cause I know that I am strong
And I don't need you anymore
No, I don't need you anymore
Oh, I don't need you anymore
No, I don't need you anymore
Edited Landsat 8 image of the breakup of the large iceberg that just split away from the Larsen C ice shelf.

Original caption: When a massive iceberg first broke away from Antarctica’s Larsen C ice shelf sometime between July 10-12, 2017, scientists knew it would eventually start breaking apart. That’s the normal life cycle of a drifting iceberg, which is at the mercy of the ocean’s battering currents, tides, and winds. Already those forces have turned A-68 into two named bergs, A-68A and A-68B, as well as a handful of pieces too small to be named by the U.S. National Ice Center.
In the two weeks following the initial break, satellite imagery has documented the iceberg’s motion. The southern end appears to have slammed into a mix of floating ice above Gipps Ice Rise—the bump of snow- and ice-covered bedrock visible in the lower right of the image. Then the berg rebounded and its northern end swung back toward the just opened rift. The resulting impact caused both the berg’s north end and the ice shelf to fracture.
“The back-and-forth movement of A-68 looks akin to maneuvering a parallel-parked car out of a tight parking space—like an Austin Powers three-point turn,” said Christopher Shuman, a cryospheric scientist at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center and the University of Maryland, Baltimore County.
The fractured berg and shelf are visible in these images, acquired on July 21, 2017, by the Thermal Infrared Sensor (TIRS) on the Landsat 8 satellite. The false-color view shows the relative warmth or coolness across the region. White indicates where the ice or water surface is warmest, most notably in the widening strip of mélange between the main iceberg and the remaining ice shelf. Dark grays and blacks are the coldest areas of ice.
So far, the calving and fracturing has taken place under the dark cover of polar night during Antarctica’s austral winter. That makes thermal imagery from satellites a critical tool for “seeing” the action. Adrian Luckman of the UK-based Project MIDAS first saw the berg break away in thermal data from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), before Sentinel radar data became available later on July 12.
The thermal view above shows a remarkable amount of detail. The bright signature of relatively warm ocean water appears around A-68B, which broke off sometime between late July 13 and early July 14. More subtle fractures north of A-68B are visible on the shelf; these pieces will eventually break free and move out to sea with the rest of the ice.
All of the ice pieces large and small are subject to the water currents of the Weddell Gyre and the strong weather systems that can whip up blinding snow and blanket the region in clouds for many days at a time. This same ocean circulation that will eventually move the bergs northward toward South Georgia Island.
In the meantime, scientists will have to wait until August—the end of polar night here—to get their first natural-color images since the long-growing Larsen C rift became a complete break.

a personal note. . .because i know she visits here . . .
as a mom, as a woman, it is impossible to not get close to the people our children bring home. and when our kids hit the teenage years and beyond, harder to not love those they love. and even harder when you welcome those into your your lives. into your home. into your heart.
when those relationships end. usually your relationship with that person ends with it. however. sometimes there is a bond that you thought you had that can withstand the breakup. when you start to love them as your own. when your kids love them as a sibling. when your kids can't even remember a time when they weren't a part of their lives.
then they leave. with a "bye" that seems more like a bye for the night and not a forever goodbye . . . and in the coming days, your heart breaks. you see your children hurting. you see them not understanding what happened. questioning what they must have done for this person to just leave. and hoping they don't do it again and lose someone else. then you see how happy the other person is, how quickly they have moved on and you question the reality of it all.
to see your kids hurting and not know how to fix it is one of the hardest things of being a mom and when you are hurting too, it is even harder. and not so much for the older one that was part of the relationship. break-ups happen, hearts get broken. we move on. but the rest of the family, my younger ones, were left with broken hearts too and they don't know what they did wrong. collateral damage.
he left shortly after you and that was so hard on all of us. especially the peyton & autumn ... it broke my heart when shortly after he left autumn said, "he left too, but he still comes back to visit, he still loves us..."
please know i do not hate you. i hate what happened. i hate how you left. i hate that it was so sudden. i hate how you hurt my family, but i don't hate you. i love you and i always will.
our house is a different house now. but pieces of you remain. you are in the tutus in autumns dress up bin. in the tulle we put in her hair. in peyton's grades. in the tiffany heart i have kept. in the present and cards you gave me. in the pictures on our walls. in our memories and in our hearts.
you are remembered when we eat tri tip & mac & cheese. i think of you when i shop. when it snows. whenever i see a car the color of yours.
with our house down by two members. the three of us never yell " ___ is home" when someone walks in the door at 9pm. everything is so so much different now.
i hope we are with you too - i hope you remember how a family should be. how traditions are started. how much fun christmas mornings are and how important routines can be. how even though we may not be perfect, we are perfectly imperfect.
we are so so much alike. i miss you so much and i always will. the tears runnnig down my face as i type this, remind me just how much.
when i saw you saturday, please know how hard it was to walk away from you without saying a word. please understand that she has just recently stopped getting sad & quiet when your name is said. she has just stopped saying "those are her favorite" when we walk past the spaghettios in the store. if we had stopped, it would have made everything new again and i know not walking away would have opened her wounds again and i just can't let that happen. she is healing. we are healing. still healing. we were on the way to her friend's birthday party and i didn't want to take her with tears in her eyes and a heavy heart. someday she will be ready, someday i will be ready, but not yet.

This picture was taken May 17, 2005 by my sister.
It was taken 10 days before our wedding. This was the point where he has decided to just let me go because he is certain that I wasn't the one for him... Capturing the end of a relationship. As I look to the picture, he looks at me so coldly while I was there wanting to work things out and would do anything to save the relationship... but it was a good thing that he ended it. I am better off without him and his judgmental family
that's me (geek girl) being in love with the geek :-(
A conversation with Scott from Two Claws Jewelry inspired me to post this. Made in 2001 after breaking up with a man I never should have been with in the first place. I transformed him into a shadow of a lizard because he was a manipulative, posessive, twisted, dark-souled, liar of a man. I took his eyes away! It is printed on stretched canvas and the beads are embroidered. It has never hung in my home, but I keep it around.
The diaries I kept over a period of six years - all 2000 pages, which later became my book BREAKUP: enduring divorce.
The disc they were scanned onto.
For those of you who don't know, me 'n Papa moved out a few weeks ago. Somtimes parents don't get along anymore. Mother and Papa said it wasn't anything any of us did; it was just time to go separate ways.
I got to pick who I would stay with and of course, I picked Papa. I may never have to take a bath again!!! Yay!
I published BREAKUP because nothing like it existed: an account of divorce written by a man in real time, not as an afterthought, with the 'benefit' of hindsight. Breakup takes you right inside the cauldron of marital disintegration. It's a map of the minefield of divorce that will guide you through safely and help you to move on.
