I looked at my bookshelf this evening with a new set of eyes…. Of course, it does contain books. Each one carefully selected for its content and telling of my life’s journey this past many years. But it contains so much more and, once again, each item selected as a sign of who I amContinue reading “The Bookshelf…”

Another Journey Begins…
When I retired from full-time teaching ten years ago, I had no ideas as to how I was going to spend my extra time. A twenty-nine year career, all but one of which was spent teaching middle school, had left me thinking that it was time to hang it up. Yet here we are, elevenContinue reading “Another Journey Begins…”
To Fast or Not To Fast…that is the question
As we approach the season of Lent, I ponder whether or not to take my usual sabbatical from social media, namely Facebook. I know that Lent 2021 will begin on Wednesday, February 17 and ends on Saturday, April 3.

The Nightmare That Seems to Have No End….
It was a normal Thursday at school, March 12th, 2020. News of the coronavirus had found its way to us, but at that point it certainly didn’t seem to be much of a threat.

There is nothing to fear…
“The presence of fear is a sure sign that you are trusting in your own strength.

Chasing….
Lyrics I just wanna run away Find somewhere that feels safe Find somewhere the bad days Don’t come as often in this sad phase Somewhere I can be alone Where I don’t have to run away from my flaws And I don’t have to be afraid of my thoughts With this high, this high thatContinue reading “Chasing….”
It’s Been a Long While…
It’s been a long while since I’ve written anything on my blog. Lots has happened over the past several months and I’m just now able to catch my breath and reflect on it all. The Covid pandemic is still ever-present and I’ve seen it touching the lives of more and more people I know. TheContinue reading “It’s Been a Long While…”
Maniac
Just a steel town girl on a Saturday night Looking for the fight of her life in the real time world No one sees her at all they all say she’s crazy Locking rhythm to the beat of her heart Changing movement into light She haS danced into the danger zone When the dancer becomesContinue reading “Maniac”
