Good for the Body, Good for the Soul
Late last week, I was feeling a bit run down. Not physically ill, but more like worn out. I know several other people – friends, colleagues, family – who have been feeling similarly or are actually sick. So I started thinking about the things that make me feel better when I am not well in…
A New Favorite
Can’t lie. Despite my much-needed afternoon off, I am still feeling a bit whirlwindish. Yes, that’s a word. English majors are allowed to make up words whenever it suits them. It’s in the handbook. Anyway… It’s Thursday so I’m joining Mama Kat’s Writer’s Workshop again. This week I opted for the easy prompt. (Told you…can’t…

Soup of the Week – Pilot Edition
I know that I inherited my love of autumn from my Mother. Nobody loves this season quite like my Mom – I am certain of it. The second that the first waft of cooler air passes by, she throws open the windows and puts a pot of stew on the stove. Mom is also good…
Rainbows and Grandfathers
It’s taken me a while to sort through them, but I wanted to share some photos of the most vivid, most stunningly beautiful rainbow I have ever seen. These were taken on my cell phone camera, believe it or not, through the window of the car as we traveled back from a family day out.
Discovery, Part Two
