A while back my friend asked me if I’d done anything creative lately. I don’t remember exactly how she posed the question. But what she was asking me is if I’d been writing or painting or reading or studying or… She’s an artist. And she’s written at least one book. And I’d venture to say … More creativity and vulnerability

During the course of a day, a bunch of things can go wrong. Minor, all of them, but still. Annoyances. Receiving a veggie wrap instead of a breakfast wrap. Which makes me wonder if I ordered the wrong thing or the incorrect {wrap} was prepared for me. Too much romaine lettuce and the smallest smattering … More musicians whose names begin with J
I heard Here Comes the Sun Friday morning. The first song played, 9am sharp, when Rock & Roots on WUKY began. Apropos I suppose since it was an overcast, somewhat rainy morning. I began crying during the intro. Why? Yes, I know it’s a happy song. So why? I’m not completely sure, but a mini … More sun, moon and stars

It strikes me as interesting because there are thousands of questions you could ask a person, but this seems to be the high priority question. At least between little girls and adult … More things girls say
This has been the worst week. At least the worst week in a long, long time. Truthfully, the worst since I was faced with the multitude of situations that coincide with divorce. I won’t go into the specifics, as I don’t care to be one who airs my dirty laundry. Let’s just say by Wednesday I … More the one where I quote Richard Rohr AND G-Eazy

Lack of anything to write. That I care to share, anyway. The ups and downs of life, I … More instrument
It hit me sometime last week I just might have misspelled the word “heel” in my last post. I kept forgetting to check though. Sure enough, tonight I looked and I did. Sorry readers. I’m sure at least a few of you noticed. It’s been corrected. Now my life can carry on. As can yours. It seems some … More please note I used the wrong heel
People who write regularly seem to enjoy putting together {best of} lists. Especially around the new year. You know, best songs of 2014. Best books. Best movies. In times past, I posted a blog entry every Friday entitled Flapjack Friday Faves. That was back when I made my kids pancakes every Friday morning. And I took the … More favorite things
