April 19, 2023 I’m Still Here I’ve been a bit absent from this blog of late. I only posted three times in 2022 and this is my first post of 2023. Where have I been? Why haven’t I posted? Well, I’ve been busy writing things for other publications, writing my monthly... Share this:TweetMoreShare on TumblrPrintEmailLike this:Like Loading...

April 8, 2020 Appreciating Solitude I shared this thought on Facebook this morning, and since I hadn’t yet posted my Lent post for today I decided I would share it here also. Before the current pandemic, I had started rereading “Brave New World.” I truly love dystopian literature. Not sure... Share this:TweetMoreShare on TumblrPrintEmailLike this:Like Loading...

March 25, 2020 Surviving or Thriving I was reposting old posts for Lent, and I will continue that plan tomorrow, but today I thought I’d do something a little different.

September 25, 2018 Happy Anniversary to Me! Today is the ninth anniversary of the start of this blog. I began on a whim and it’s grown into so much more. I had grand plans of writing a post, waxing poetic about the joys and heartaches of blogging, but there simply wasn’t time.... Share this:TweetMoreShare on TumblrPrintEmailLike this:Like Loading...

November 24, 2017 Doubt Lies I had a great idea for a blog post, and then another, and another. Did I write them down? No. Instead I listened to the voice in my head that said they weren’t worth writing. That voice is talking to me right now, this very...

October 16, 2017 Unashamedly “Me, Too” In essence, I’ve been saying “me, too” for many years as I share my story in poetry and prose. But it took a celebrity Tweet to make it go viral. One of my Facebook friends posted: “#metoo. (God I hate that I have to post... Share this:TweetMoreShare on TumblrPrintEmailLike this:Like Loading... Categories Miscellaneous Comments: 4
August 20, 2016 Meanwhile This is a little vignette I wrote in response to a prompt during my memoir class with Sarah Thebarge. (I learned so much from her.) The prompt was to think about the resolution of our story arc and write about what other things were happening... Share this:TweetMoreShare on TumblrPrintEmailLike this:Like Loading...
