Photo by Craig Adderley on Pexels.com I find interesting that we talk about going back to normal and the 9/11 tragedy within the same week. As humans our ability to adapt and compartmentalize our lives is a wonderous trait (it’s what helped those who survived slavery survive). Sunday night I watched a 60 Minutes special … Continue reading Getting Back to Normal

Tuesdays
I always think of that book Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom on restful Tuesdays like today. It was a very good read and then they did a movie. Back years ago seemed like Hollywood always made a movie out of a good book but the movie was never as good as the book. Somedays … Continue reading Tuesdays
The Book – St. Paul Street Provocations

Riding High
Hey there. I thought I would share my most recent writing adventure. I was a feature reader on the Wilde Reading's Facebook reading series. It was super fun and cosmic at the same time.

Walking and then sitting in the naturalness of it all was peaceful and melted … Continue reading The Dahlia’s are in bloom
To Niche or Not to Niche
I have been giving this a lot of thought. This blog is almost 40 years after my first published piece–something written for a school newspaper. A writing experience which started me on my way to majoring in journalism in college and working on the college newspaper. I interned at Rural America Newspapers working in the … Continue reading To Niche or Not to Niche
MFA Blue’s
I had the opportunity to sit and talk with a master Poet somewhat a wordsmith. It was scary and tantalizing at the same time. I wanted to lean in and peel back the skin on his forehead and scoop the soft brain matter and put it in my purse to taste later when I was … Continue reading MFA Blue’s
Sunday Morn
Good morning world! It's a cool morning out and the warmth of the sun feels good. I'm starting this blog today because it has been a hell of a week. Work really sucked all week and all I wanted to do was escape and create but other commitments got in the way (or did I … Continue reading Sunday Morn
