A few months ago I watched the HBO documentary series Farrow vs Allen. I’ve never been a big Woody Allen fan. Since Mia Farrow was in a lot of Woody Allen films, I haven’t seen her in much beyond Rosemary’s Baby. And I think […]

  It’s been 2 1/2 years – years! – since I wrote anything here.  Because in all honesty, I’ve been broken.  I’ve been living with a weird kind of grief and I’ve been living with a secret shame.  But I can’t keep hiding behind my […]

  If I sat down and listed all the things I do wrong, I probably wouldn’t finish until the day I died. I guess I’m a pretty critical, judgmental person. There.  I’ve said it.  I am;  I’m judgmental and overly critical. A lot. The thing […]

It’s been quite a while since I’ve posted anything.  You’d think that because of all the crazy winter weather we’ve experienced lately, preventing us from getting out of the house, I’d have more time to write.  WRONG!  Instead, we’ve been dealing with sickness, burst pipes […]

I had a difficult and highly disappointing conversation with one of my sons the other day.  After ending the discussion, I was just…. wrecked. I try to remain optimistic most of the time, but some times are just harder than others, aren’t they?  I’m only human with limited […]

Today is my husband’s birthday!  I robbed the cradle because he’s younger than me  – 3 years – which felt like a huge difference 27 years ago; today, not so much.  I’m spending the day with him in Atlanta, where’s he’s working this week, and […]

  So… my son is gone.  Has been gone for a couple weeks now, actually.  This was a portion of his growing up and moving out to begin his own life apart from all he has ever known. And good for him.  That’s what we raised him […]

See this picture?  And the small blackish-red dot about 1/3 of the way on the right?  That’s me.  Ziplining about 300′ above the forest floor, and 1900′ from one end of the gorge to the other.  It took more than a couple deep breaths, a […]

Dear Me, Really, the years have been happy ones. Look forward to that. And try to always look on the bright side, because that is the very thing that gets you through the bad times. You did a pretty good job of that anyway, but […]
