I walked in my daughters room last week some time and she was lying in the bed with cucumber slices on her eyes. Lying in the prone position, TV on, fan blowing, smiling. I asked her what she was doing and she replied that she was resting her eyes and she had seen it on some TV program. I smiled,...

Sitting on the lawn at Oakland's Jazz Festival on Saturday was hot, fun, relaxing and comforting. We arrived early and stood in line. We talked to each other and about other folk, we danced, we laughed and we hugged friends. It was a good time. There was a sea of umbrella's all popped open and...

I found myself sitting on the dias with women who have published books and have been doing this writing thing as a profession for many many years and I was humbled. Humbled and honored to be able to sit at their feet and learn just what it takes to become published and to push on through the...

My daughter called me at work today to ask me if I had looked at the Mermaid Tail. I told her that I had not. I faintly remember her telling me that she wanted to get a mermaid tail. My brain was somewhere else, which means I really wasn't listening and I just said okay. I should have realized this...

Last Saturday, I attended a homegoing celebration. A goodbye roast for a good man. I have heard preachers talk about 2 Corinthians 5:8 which says that to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. And prior to Saturday I understood this to mean that once you die you will be in His...

Last week around 10:00 at night the doorbell rang. I immediately went into defense mode because no one was expecting anyone to come over and it was a school night. School night simply meaning that someone has to get up early. That someone during the summer is me, the mom. I went downstairs to...
