You may have noticed. My words are stuck. They cannot make it from my head to my hands. There is a pile of them at my heart waiting to flow out. They are heavy and sluggish, these words. An incredibly busy season has led directly into a season of grief, where words are few and far … Continue reading Blockage
Pittsburg
Hate is not new. Division isn’t the latest fad. It is ancient. Beginning in the garden and moving, always forward, with each generation. It slithers and slides, morphing into whatever form is needed to keep itself intact. It feeds upon fear and gorges on superiority. It is a glutton, always hungry but never satisfied with its … Continue reading Pittsburg
Spa Day
A lovely lady walked me down a short hallway. She handed me off to another lovely lady, whose hospitality was charming. We chitchatted as she walked me to the dressing room, where she handed me a warm robe. What a luxurious thing. Enveloped by warmth, I wondered why I didn’t have a robe warmer at … Continue reading Spa Day
Ford vs. Kavanaugh
I do not watch politics. In fact, I even put my fingers in my ears before I bury my head in the sand. Like any good ostrich, I hope to avoid the circumstances in which I am standing. However, despite my attempts to ignore the news of the day, there are times the volume gets … Continue reading Ford vs. Kavanaugh

I spoke at a women's retreat today. It is a group of amazing women who are changing their lives by improving their health. Several of them requested a copy of what I shared...so here you go girls!

The clouds hang low, full of tears which overflow. The gray blanket covers the land creating a … Continue reading Lessons of 9-11

Kayaking
In an effort to keep my body moving, I have desired to take up kayaking for a while now. My legs still work, but some days I am not sure how long that will be true. The cartilage in the joints is disintegrating thanks to chemo, so hiking can sometimes be painful. Being a paddler … Continue reading Kayaking
True Love
I had the privilege of being raised in the overflow of True Love. My parents set an example, which has inspired me on the toughest days of my own marriage. Their relationship started when she was 13 and he was 16, and going steady was the way things were done. Their young love never wavered … Continue reading True Love
Winnie the Pooh
I have always been a Pooh fan. I remember the books as a child and the wonder they created when the pictures and text danced together upon the pages. They were unlike “regular” books and, because of their creative formatting, little girls and boys would be curious enough to turn and discover something new on … Continue reading Winnie the Pooh
