little joyful things
With the arrival of falltime, I would like to share a list of some things in my life that bring me joy – some little, some big, but hey, joy is joy.😊 That’s all for today. I know, I disappear for a month and randomly come back with yet...
Aug.15.23 – a poem
Aug.15.23 hot out, so I’m in;manufactured wind blowingacross my warm skin. trembling fingers holdtrembling pen, waiting, waiting—suspended between what was yesterdayand what will be tomorrow;not sure which I want. just an august day;I’m sitting, waiting, puttingflowers in notebooks....
Much celebration, and a small party🎈
A HAPPY ANNOUNCEMENT Oh ho ho! I’ve been waiting for this post a long time… If you’re a subscriber, you already know the news. I FINISHED MY FIRST NOVEL! 🎉🥳🎈🎊🎈🥳🎉 In the whole scope of things, is this a big deal? Ah, I don’t know. It’s basically a practice...
A rather brief post on a gathering of writers.
I’m going to try to keep this brief. I feel like I should write up a post, though, especially since so many of my friends have been. Two weeks ago I had a crazy, surreal experience. I’ve been a part of an online writing community for about three years...
Making space for God to fill
These past few days I’ve been mulling over an idea. But first some backstory. I’ve been busy. Mostly that’s my own fault. I keep saying ‘yes’ to doing things. That’s not a bad thing. BUT my relationship with God has been shoved to the back burner. For a few...
Concerning Yearbooks, Poetry, Brutus, and Cacti (random life updates)

“I would die for you”

I exacted my revenge. Death to the ants.
Unspeakable anguish met me when dad announced “Ope! Grab your lunchboxes, kids – the ants have returned!” It is impossible to sufficiently describe how irked I was upon opening my lunchbox (which I had stupidly left unzipped, with an apple and a granola bar languishing in the bottom) and...
“Waiting Is Not Easy!”
Perhaps you have fond memories of reading the Elephant and Piggie books as a child. I certainly do. My earliest library-going days consisted of checking out as many Mo Willems books as I was allowed to, then coming home and reading them with my brother and sister (there were...
