Benefits of a Book

Benefits of a Book

For three years I've been writing a book, a novel activity for me -       I highly recommend it. The title, STASHES, came from the Lord above, I swear. It just infused, floated into mind, with narrative arcs imagined, bit by bit over time. The prompts and...

The Great Walk

I carry in my wallet a picture of a heart: a schematic of my dad's blockages and remedy shunts. On the back, listed in his own hand, are the dates of his pacemaker operations. It's a small plastic-coated card, meant as medic alert, the size of Master Card and its...

Air Force Amy and the Fat Farm

So you read about the sudden passage of my office mate, posted on May 28. This here is an addendum of pornographic quality... Are you hooked yet? My office mate died in January 2004, suddenly, harshly, and in a compressed time frame. Not only was I grieving and...

Living Life as Miracle: Office Move

Sometimes you don't know who to ask. Sometimes you feel like you've asked too much. Sometimes you're just self-reliant. It's not a stubborn belief in self, but determination to accomplish that drives. Sometimes you feel like you are constantly cupped in the hand of...
