This morning I woke up very early to the sunlight just beginning to seep it’s way through the thick cloud cover. Figuring I was awake for good, I thought the early morning would afford a nice opportunity to write in the quiet dawn. I gathered up my quilt, put on a cup of tea, and …
Yesterday morning I got together with a friend for coffee and the conversation turned to dating. Not a terribly easy topic to write about, but I am supposed to be working on another writing topic and am having a hard time doing so because this is on my mind. Not the dating part, the single …

When the “Hunchback of Notre Dame” movie came out when I was in high school, this song deeply resonated with me. As I have told you before, I was teased and trampled on in my later school years when I didn’t know how to stand up for myself, glad that has changed, but at the …

Actually, the man was monopolizing the conversation and doing all the talking, the woman just nodded a …
A friend of mine and I were driving back tonight from a play in McMinville we had attended with others from the Pentacle Theatre. On our way home, he asked about my story and what has made me who I am today. I shared with him some of the process of transformation and healing that …
Today was my once a year visit to the medieval reenactment group I used to be a part of. I had a good time and it was nice to see some people, but it was also a good reminder that it was great for a certain period in my life but that I am at …
