- WHAT ARE YOU THANKFUL FOR? Come on, admit it. We’ve all done it. We’ve all been in some scary, sick or sad situation, one that makes us desperate enough to promise the deities some positive act or that we’ll refrain from ever do something negative ever again. When it’s over, we’re more than thankful. Then life gets in the way. How quickly we forget…. During the month of ...

- During a book signing event last night I was approached by a reader who returned to tell me that she read through my book twice and found it to be very helpful. She keeps it as a reference tool and picks it up often. The book stimulated a conversation with a friend of hers. This friend came to the signing to pick up her own copy. In addition, a psychotherapist approached me at the ...

I know that everything I ...

- I’m Baaaaaaaaaaack! I feel like I have been on an alien planet, and perhaps I have, where blackness defined the hours of life during surgery. I’m home now and RECOVERING, which my doctors say will take about three months. My blood flow went from the “size of a pea” to “the size of a quarter”! My heart is pumping away in joy and I'm beginning to think about writing again!Thank you ...

- And I’m proud of it! Thank you for letting me sit on you every day, for cushioning me while I write this and many other things.

- Pat's son, Sean, here. My mom wanted me to let you all know that she is doing really well. The surgery was a great success. She was up and walking around the ICU the next day, and then she was moved to the regular recovery wing, where she's been walking, eating, and breathing with increasing ease. She should be home tomorrow, and then you will hear from her. Thanks for all your thoughts ...

- There is only one old friend that I really want to find out about. His name is Loren McCune.I went to highschool with him.Everyone else that I've been wondering about, missing even, has sent me a message in the last few weeks. It had been twenty three years since I'd heard from one person who contacted me.There's this moment in Dune Book II, where Paul becomes fully aware of the delicate path he ...

- “Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill made low; the crooked straight, and the rough places plain.” – George Frideric Handel’s oratorio “Messiah"As a person who cherishes diversity, these are not thrilling words to me. Chilling perhaps, but not thrilling.“Behold, a virgin shall conceive…”I’m a bit jaded, so this pearl appears glass to me. “And with ...

- I’d like to post this open note of thanks to Ivory Madison, Huntington Sharp, and all the others in the RR hierarchy for awarding me the “Bronze” medal. Alas! My bedraggled finish in the 61-day “member” marathon fell far short of winning the gold or the silver. (And though I gave my all, if it weren’t for some last minute skullduggery on the part of Price-Waterhouse—which is ...
