Here's a little view of on and around my front porch...I want to take a view off into the fields in the early morning sometime. My fave wicker chair is so comfy!

The wild night sky out my window facing the city. Saturday, September 26th // 2015 The sliding of days into the past, like taking a sip of water until you find the glass empty, have overtaken my thoughts this morning. Today and tomorrow. That's all I have left here in this space, this small slice of found moments that I have put myself in the past fortnight plus seven. Urgency, though, hasn't found me here. The tranquility of this breeze hitting my face every morning, allowing me to write freely, has afforded no trace of urgency. Authors will tell you that any time the words find you that they must be written. This is truth. They have found me every day as the sun rises to its zenith and the afternoon sear settles over the land calling for a quiet rest. I move from my window at that time and sit on the bed and finish for the day until it's time for the afternoon comida. I've not found the words in the evening, or even at night. It seems I need to res...

You can now find me on Substack and Medium . I'll be keeping this blog up to look back and see my old work.  It's been one hell of a year.  I want to end it by starting this space. Something new. Something uncensored. I am a columnist for a rural paper in Ohio, an author who published her book in a pandemic summer, and a frustrated poet.  I'm glad you're here. But don't come back if you can't handle some spicy words. See you 2020, let's do something new. Here are eight pieces I'm particularly proud to have written in 2020: It's only a virus, they said Taking a knee for an injured world Inconvenience in the time of pandemic 10 Commandments for tackling racism Redifining the word 'freedom' Spiraling down the conspiratorial rabbit hole A distraction to what ails us is never the cure Faith over fear is nothing if we're not wise

Shaun Cassidy, Kenny Rogers, and my worn-out speakers

Shaun Cassidy, Kenny Rogers, and my worn-out speakers This question was posed by my daughter on Twitter yesterday and I decided to take the challenge: What song must you listen to every day without fail? I have long and varied playlists that run the gamut of many different genres: techno, house, old country, pop from the 70’s and 80’s, and metal. There’s a tab on Spotify, my platform of choice, that lets you see how often and who you play the most. I was sure what the top ones would be, but was semi-surprised as it went along. Call me eclectic, or just weird, because I won’t be offended:       1)    Shaun Cassidy: I make no apologies because he has been my favorite ever since he belted out “Da Doo Ron Ron” and “Hey Deanie.” He was also Joe Hardy on The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries in the late 70’s and that sealed the deal. I was an obsessed reader of the Hardy Boys books, and he came to life for me on that show. I had every one of his albu...
