TToT – The Week of Summer Insanity
This has been a crazy week. And this TToT is going to be the fastest, shortest, latest, and most dependent upon the graces of the SGV that I’ve ever posted. Zilla had a full week of activities, which means that I did as well. Here’s what life looked like… (hold onto your hats because it’s…

TToT – Preoccupied
I guess you could say I’ve been a bit preoccupied. I’ve posted very little in this space in the last three weeks. I’m certain that I’m not keeping up with friends and fellow bloggers the way I’d like to, despite all the best intentions. I’ve been doing and thinking lately – a lot. I’ve stared at…

TToT – Birthdays and Life, Part 2
It’s birthday time again! Well, it was. Tuesday was my birthday and it was quite possibly the most absurd one I’ve had in a while – maybe ever. The day started off fine and quite as usual with a Happy Birthday text from Super Sister at 12:01 AM. Always. I love it. I am thankful…

Six Sentence Stories – Fall
It was a long way down from where she stood; the thoughts, fears, pain, tears, and confusion of the last few years swirled in her head. With a shift in her weight, wavering balance sent a clear warning that there would be no time for regret, no chance to go back. “Do it!” hissed an impatient…

TToT – Hypo Gratitude
Hypo-gratitude. I had to check with Ivy to make sure I was getting the right term, but I think hypo-gratitude is what I have going on this week. It’s that week when you feel the forces of the universe stack against you. The dark clouds loom large and threaten at every moment to open a…

1000Speak – I Am Raising a Compassionate Child
I’m not sure how it happened. Somehow, though, I find myself the parent of a child with a compassionate heart. This little girl cares about the environment. She cares about people and animals. She wonders why and how people can be cruel to one another, whether it’s on a school playground or the world stage.…

Library Day – Checking Out the Library
I’ve been a bit MIA lately. My primary reason for being absent from this space is, simply, that we’ve been out living. My friend Ivy says that’s a damn good reason and I have to agree with her. One of our regular jaunts is to the local public library. We’ve been selecting books, of course, but also…

1000 Voices Speak for Compassion – June Link-Up
I’m a bit behind on my own 1000Speak post this month, but I can at least post the link-up info so you can get your own in there. In light of the recent events in Charleston, SC, we’ve extended this month’s link-up. It will remain open for another six days, closing on Saturday, June 27th to allow…
