On Being Brave

The bravest thing I've ever done is put myself first.

New Beginning, Part II

I want to write again.  I’ve been wanting to do it for a while. I’ve started a new post {and stopped} at least three other times in the past twenty-one months.  It's like breaking awkward silence between friends.

Happy Anniversary

Heather called me this week.  When she calls, she always begins with the same question. “Is now a bad time?”  What neither of my daughters realize is that there’s never a bad time to hear from them.  Our usual mode of communication is text, so if I am being summoned to speak on the phone … Continue reading Happy Anniversary →

My sister relocated from Atlanta to Chicago and was unable to envision a spot for her custom made, antiqued grey, 300-pound concrete top, two-person desk at her urban loft. In case you can’t tell, I’ve a l w … Continue reading Sparking Joy →

That Moment

I work at a soup kitchen located in the town where I live.  Not as a volunteer, but as one of two paid employees.  I was a volunteer for nine years before I was hired.  My interest in the soup kitchen began innocently.  I chaperoned a “field trip” for the school service club my daughter … Continue reading That Moment →

That’s a wrap!

As 2018 ends, instead of making promises to change who I am for 2019, I am going to do something different.

The Helpers

I haven’t been posting regularly.  October was a tough month.  It truly beat me down.
