On Reminiscing
Some nights revolve around the past… It’s not that it started out that way but it ends in reminiscence of days gone by and memories you treasure. Is it good or bad? I don’t know the answer. Enlighten me, people of Earth. When reminiscence leads to wonder about what could have been it can lead … Continue reading On Reminiscing
Thunder
I was a human once. I lived, I breathed, I knew who I was. It was somewhere between where husband number one left me a puddle on the floor and husband number two decided I wasn't enough. Maybe I'm not. Maybe they're not. I'm not qualified to say. Tonight, I'm thinking I am beyond expectations … Continue reading Thunder
Secret Place
I had my own private spot in the woods where two trees had fallen together creating a little seat just right for me. I would sit there for what seemed like hours singing and praying.

Gotta’ do what you gotta’ do
Whoever said pregnancy was magical must not have dealt with morning sickness. I have, in my four pregnancies, experienced varying degrees of first trimester ickyness. This time hasn't been too bad until the past week or so. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that folks ask how I am feeling and up to … Continue reading Gotta’ do what you gotta’ do
Courage
My daughter is working on an essay about Courage. She asked me the other day to name someone I found to be courageous. The problem wasn't that I couldn't think of anyone, it was more that I can think of so many acts of courage that happen daily. To name one courageous person seems difficult … Continue reading Courage
