The official definition of a veteran is someone who served their country in the armed services. However, I think this definition is lacking something significant. Heart. It does not express the sacrifices service men and women make. It does not demonstrate their love for country. It does not reveal their dedication to serving citizens, or … Continue reading A New Definition

World Geography
I never had geography in school. I am not sure how that happened exactly, but I hardly noticed. In fact, because I was not at all interested in anything outside my own world, I was thrilled that somehow I had escaped the torture of reading a world map. Honestly, for many of my childhood years, … Continue reading World Geography

Word from India
I don’t miss working out for much. I know that looking at me you might not know this. However, since my cancer 7 years ago, I have been committed to moving my body in some way every single day. I usually start my day in the basement on the treadmill or the bike. It requires … Continue reading Word from India
Into the Darkness
My first born was launched this summer, like an arrow from a bow… into the world. I felt the release from my hand, and I watched her fly through the air.
