But wait did they? None of them drink, and though they certainly had their fair share of comedic times, it’s not a joke ….Let me start again …A writer, a photographer, and a musician spent a beautiful summer sailing through a global pandemic….but wait again, that’s not the beginning of the story, it’s the middle.Continue reading “A writer, a musician, and a photographer walk into a barā¦.”

Nothing quite like a Motherās love …A slightly different kind of story about a Mom š¤
Squeezing between bodies as I made my way to the back of the bar, I brushed up against a tall lean figure standing with his back to me. He turned in my direction and as I glanced up I found myself locked into the wild eyed stare of an infamous local legend. I stumbled allContinue reading “Nothing quite like a Motherās love …A slightly different kind of story about a Mom š¤”
Letās go, or maybe letās stayā¦Sometimes plans changeā£ļø
āI think I might like to go to Africa on mission somedayā I offhandedly told the surgeon whose mobile surgical ministry my church supported. āYou should go to a 2nd world country before going to a 3rdā he said. āPerhaps come along to Ecuador in Septemberā he continued. āYes, Iād love toā was my responseContinue reading “Letās go, or maybe letās stayā¦Sometimes plans changeā£ļø”
š MoonbeamsāØMythes & Madness š«
I sit in the darkness of my yard. Iām grateful for the warmer air, especially since I fled the house with no coat. The rhythmic hooting of a nearby owl calms me. I am struggling to regain my composure, to slow down my racing thoughts. I want to disappear into the night but the fullContinue reading “š MoonbeamsāØMythes & Madness š«”
This is not about my mother …oh wait, everythingās about my mother….
I just received an alert reminding me that my annual payment was coming due for my website. Itās been a year. And what a year it has been!! I love acknowledging year anniversaries. I do it constantly. Iām obsessed with all things full circle and enjoy the opportunity to reflect on where I am asContinue reading “This is not about my mother …oh wait, everythingās about my mother….”
Cat Tales š¤
Iām grieving … Iām grieving a 17 lb black cat named Massacre. A 17 lb black cat who 16 Valentine Days ago was born to a feral park dwelling mama. Massacre and I had something in common… My mother dwelled in the same park and was a bit feral herself. Shortly after this (then) scrawnyContinue reading “Cat Tales š¤”
2020 Survivors
I know weāre all basically feeling like we should get an āI survived 2020ā tee for making it through this year < wow that sounded more clever in my head, seeing it in print Iām confronted with the thought of just how many did not. We lost (and still are losing) astronomical numbers of peopleContinue reading “2020 Survivors”
Holiday Hell šš„
If there is indeed an afterlife and if my life of sin should assign me eternal damnation as my ever after, I have a pretty good idea what my personal hot spot will look like. The glow of Hellās fires will actually be the soft twinkling of holiday lights. The background noise wonāt be theContinue reading “Holiday Hell šš„”
Somewhere in between the dark and the lightā¦
It has been in my nature for a while now to reference the dark vs light quite a bit. I suppose I use it literally, biblically, figuratively, metaphorically, metaphysically…you know, all of the above. I just really like that whole light/dark vibe…I see where it is applicable in so many situations, but if this pastContinue reading “Somewhere in between the dark and the light⦔
In āDeannaā wants me š¶
I say āstories that are mine to tellā, but is this one really mine? Many memories overlap and intersect with someone elseās, but this story does not live in the black and white world of my memory vs theirs, having been created during shared experiences, thus creating a story we both call our own. ThisContinue reading “In āDeannaā wants me š¶”
