Ship That Passed Too Swiftly

Kelli Jae Baeli Posted on January 27, 2010 by Kelli Jae BaeliDecember 5, 2011

I was talking with my friend Em (who is also one of my exes), and I was caught by an unexpected melancholy while she spoke of her daughter. Whenever she talks about her child, she becomes noticeably more vibrant, joyful, and enthusiastic. As she spoke of those little moments you can only share with a child, the tears began to stream down my face. I know it was about my absentee family, the death of my father, the way I was erased from their lives, even in the case of my father’s death…and I know it was about the overweening … Continue reading →

Surviving Family Member

Kelli Jae Baeli Posted on January 20, 2010 by Kelli Jae BaeliDecember 5, 2011

My father is dead. He’s been dead for 13 days. I got to hear about it from a friend who got a call from another friend who saw it in the paper, and I was not mentioned in the obit as a surviving family member. This is ironic because surviving my family is exactly what i had to do. I’m pissed off that I’m crying. Why would I have tears for someone who threw me away like used coffee grounds, and with as little consideration? I know I’m not crying for the loss of him. Or the loss of them. … Continue reading →

Sometimes there’s only one line of text, sometimes the surface of the boxes is filled up with a great deal of detail.One Boxed & Bagged person approaches another. B&B1 Hi. … Continue reading →

Quotes from Kelli Jae Baeli

"There's a spirit of forgiveness that comes from the higher self. and there's a spirit of forgiveness that comes from the lower self. The higher one has to do with allowing all souls to traverse their path without expectation or judgment, and knowing that nothing anyone can do TO you is actually damage. The lower spirit of forgiveness is predicated on fear and stems from a lack of self-respect, integrity, and spiritual awareness, and it has a tendency to perpetuate itself ad nauseam."

Politics Quotes

"People feel removed from sexism. 'I'm not a sexist, but I'm not a feminist.' They think there's this fuzzy middle ground. There's no fuzzy middle ground. You either believe that women are people or you don't. It's that simple." (Joss Whedon)

Quotes for Writers

Usually, when people get to the end of a chapter, they close the book and go to sleep. I deliberately write my books so when the reader gets to the end of a chapter, he or she must turn one more page. When people tell me I've kept them up all night, I feel like I've succeeded! ~ Sidney Sheldon

Word of the Day

hardscrabble HARD-skrab-uhl Yielding a bare or meager living with great labor or difficulty. Marked by poverty.

Favorite Quotes

Nostalgia and Hope lie equally in the way of authentic experience.
~ Tom Robbins

Let me just add that no civilian should be able to purchase or own a weapon of war. So that's not what I'm referring to, here.

Kelli Jae Baeli©BestsellingGenreHoppingIndieAuthor@KelliJaeBaeli

I disagree with this trend of saying "It's the guns." A gun is an inanimate object with no will of its own. It's PEOPLE. Religion. Patriarchy. Greed. Ignorance. Entitled white men. No accountability. Mostly, it's 100 million non-voters, & those who elect enablers.

If I saw that, I'd BUY THEM WHAT THEY NEEDED. for those who can't afford that, look the other way.

Jack Monroe@BootstrapCook

Your regular reminder that if you see someone stealing baby formula, nappies, bread, milk, pasta, ready meals, you didn’t see a fucking thing mind your own business and thank god you’re not so desperate for your own or your babies survival that you’d risk a criminal charge for it
