Happy Father’s Day readers. And Happy Juneteenth. I could go into some pithy or eloquent blog post about fathers about now…. or write something on the new Federal holiday of Juneteenth. But I am not going to today. It’s not what is on my mind. But I wanted to acknowledge those two holidays since they […]

Stuff I’ve written about writing and reading in particular.
Edits and Edits and More Edits
Like any good writer should, I do a great deal of editing. Like any good writer, I also hate the editing process. It’s often boring. I’d rather be creating works instead of reading and re-reading and re-reading and re-reading my stuff. But edits are needed. I spend a great deal of time creating new content. […]
Belonging
Like everyone does, I remember feeling like I didn’t fit in when I was a kid. I often felt like a square peg, as the saying goes. I wanted to be a puzzle piece and find a way to fit in. I was too skinny. I wore glasses. I spoke with a lisp. I had […]

Today is Pentecost in most Christian denominations. Traditionally, it is the day that the Holy Spirit was gifted to the early church. This day is considered the birthday of the Christian denomination. Thinking about this day also makes me think of the Holy Spirit. It then leads me, almost naturally to think of that title […]
An unproductive night
The other half and I sat outside for about an hour or so last evening, just enjoying the fresh air, the relatively gentle breeze, the ambient temperatures, and each others’ company as we each did our own separate thing. My husband loves radios and is an amateur radio operator, so while I journaled my whirlwind […]
Life
There are many quotes on life, I have come to realize. After all, John Lennon once penned that “Life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans.” And Forrest Gump’s Mama always said “Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re gonna get.” Bob Marley asked if we […]

If you follow my author Facebook and/or Instagram already, I apologize for the repetition of this exciting announcement on a third medium, but feel free to share this with all you know who […]
Contentment
I recently walked the half mile home from the full time job on a beautiful late spring afternoon. The sun was shining in a sky littered with giant puffy clouds. There was a breeze that kept the walk comfortable. I had some music going via my phone and my wireless earbuds. I was looking forward […]
