When Home Is Where the Vacation Is…

December 20, 2018 by admin

For most, home is home. And the beach is…well, not home. The beach is where vacation is. Unless home is where vacation is? Where, with the tiniest of warm rays on your cheek, the sun convinces you to come out and play like a child. Where the cool, emerald waters tickle your sandy toes as …

Think Pink

November 5, 2018 by admin

Most days, life is a blur as we blow by it in our usual hurry. But sometimes, something happens to slam on the brakes and we have to stop and look up to avoid crashing. It was a regular day in March 2015. I had never hated the sound of my own phone ringing. But …

I Try Not To Think About It

August 27, 2018 by admin

– A quick prompt from my new writing group (and dedicated to my all-grown-up 6’2″ baby, Patrick):   I try not to think about it. He will be leaving soon. It looms in the distance. Not immediate, but also not far away. It taunts me, and it haunts me. His leaving. What will the days …

The Dance~short story fiction

April 7, 2018 by admin

The damp, dreary black of night, heavy with humidity, mirrors the state her heart. She buries herself under the bundle of bed sheets and blankets as if they shield her from the outside world. The sounds of raindrops dancing on the rooftop aren’t enough to help Madeline sleep tonight. But they never are anymore. She …

Birthdays and Yesterdays

July 10, 2018 by admin

Birthdays are celebrations of life. But even in death, one’s life and memory can be celebrated.  My baby sister would have turned 40 today.  Five years ago, she celebrated her final birthday in a hospital, hanging on to life support.  She left behind her precious kiddos and family who miss her more than she probably …

Treading Trump

June 12, 2018 by admin

Over the course of this presidential campaign, I have watched a narcissistic man with no political experience, no accountability, no respect for humanity, and no desire to unify a nation push and bully his way into a position usually reserved for a leader who embodies the exact opposite.  This man, ethically and morally bankrupt, has …

Château d’amour

June 12, 2018 by admin

“It’s impossible,” said pride. “Its risky,” said experience. “Its pointless,” said reason.  “Give it a try,” whispered the heart. (author unknown)     This is my favorite of the many exquisitely poetic quotes scattered throughout Château de Gudanes, a website following the restoration of a 1700’s French chateau.  A huge undertaking fueled by pure passion …
