REMEMBER YOUR WORTH!

Two difficult questions have been asked of me over the years. The questions are: “Can an abuser be forgiven?” and “If he asked you to forgive him could you?” The thing is these questions have zero validity. Not to me. Not anymore. It is time that the real questions must become “Why did this person …

There is also joy

Someone in another time

The holidays hurt. Those close to me know my heart, and reach out when I least expect it. My friend Corey said her daughter (my Goddaughter) Cora loves this book I wrote so long ago. This comforted me and reminds me of the words of Sappho “Someone, I tell you, in another time will remember …

His reasons for wearing black

I loved visiting the Johnny Cash Museum in Nashville, TN! It is a beautiful and meaningful tribute to his memory. Of course my love for Cash’s music is intertwined with my love for my Dad. So many memories. Such a heart. I love that Johnny Cash cared about prisoners “who long paid for their crimes” …

Alabama Tornado

Today is my cousin Kara’s graduation from UNA. It is delayed not canceled. We are determined to celebrate her big …

Fathers like mine don’t ever die

The holidays hurt. To me Dad is Christmas. My Christmas joy. I believe that Dad is with me in spirit through the days and the nights, and I think that he lives on in what I do, and that is something I keep close in my heart. Dad is incredible. He will always be my …

Advent Goddaughter gift

The still melancholy that I love

Is not this a true autumn day? Just the still melancholy that I love - that makes life and nature harmonise. The birds are consulting about their migrations, the trees are putting on the hectic or the pallid hues of decay, and begin to strew the ground, that one's very footsteps may not disturb the …

Happy Veterans Day

Happy Veterans Day to all who have served with honor, to those who live with the pain of combat experience (physical and mental), and to those who paid the ultimate sacrifice for freedom. Today I remember my beloved Dad’s service in the USAF: Atomic Veteran, 50 years of silence, and his resilience enduring Atomic testing …

All Souls

All Souls. Transcendence. A time to honor our ancestors, to remember the dead, and when the veil between the worlds is thin. “Somewhere in a hidden memory Images float before my eyes Of fragrant nights of straw and of bonfires And dancing till the next sunrise I can see lights in the distance Trembling in …
