How are you preparing for this season ahead? Are you remembering your traditional celebrations and wondering how you will incorporate some of your memorable moments in the season ahead if we are still living under pandemic restrictions?

On the most difficult of days, sometimes, I wish I could just call up my Mom or step in the next room and collapse on her bed with my burdens from the day. My Mom was a good listener. I was her only child, though, which made it easier for her to accomplish this. But this was really my Mom’s heart. She was a good listener for … Continue reading →
It wasn’t my birthday or any special day of the year to expect mail. But this card gently landed in our mailbox which is inconveniently located in one of these modern stations with a jumble of boxes a few blocks away from our home. When I read the return address and saw the artistic calligraphy, I wondered why my friend was writing me at this time of the year. Once I arrived home, I carefully opened the card with a silver-handled letter … Continue reading →
Hubby and I just returned from a whirlwind vacation in Europe. And if I had to re-title this tour, it would be known as a “A Taste of Europe.” We covered 8 countries (itinerary says 9, but not really) in 21 days. That is monumental and exhausting.

No corrections, no pauses, just a free-flowing thought process. Mind to fingers to paper. This week’s word is FIGHT Ready. Set. Go. Fight. It always conjures up images of two men bouncing around a ring, throwing punches, proving their prowess. Masculinity is so confusing at times. Why do men offer themselves up in a bloody ring just … Continue reading →
by Keith Kendrick I’m joining Lisa-Jo Baker at Five-Minute Friday. The topic she has chosen for us to write on is SHE “She did it!” the little girl wailed, looking at her smushed ice cream cone drooling on the cement. When your the teacher of younger children, it is not uncommon to deal with the “She did its” or the “He did its”. But what is really behind these heart-felt wails of the children. Babes, sometimes so … Continue reading →
I’m writing with Lisa Jo’s Five-Minute-Friday group again. Lisa gives us a word and we have five minutes to write about it, no editing or over thinking the topic. Perfectionism goes out the window. This week’s word was “RHYTHM.” no editing, no over thinking, no backtracking.no no editing, no over thinking, no backtracking. no editing, no over thinking, no backtracking. GO! When I heard the word rhythm, I thought of an old song, “Listen to the rhythm … Continue reading →
