I have noticed a common theme cropping up in discussions about relationships, and it’s fairly paradoxical, which is why I find it so curious. A lot of folks these day have become very good at finding flaws. Flaws in those they are going on dates with. Flaws in themselves. Flaws in the relationship they currently […]
The Fall – The Abyss Calls My Name
I fell. Deep. Down a dark hole. Some call it love, some call it hell. I prefer a nomenclature of a different sort, abyss. I keep falling, there is no bottom, no end. I throw up ropes hoping they catch on ledges of sanity as I slip past in a free fall. There is no […]
Life Lessons
I was born into a family that has loved and accepted me, and I can only imagine how difficult that was for them. This is my way to thank three people who have made my life worth living.
A Mother’s Wish
Eventually the “to do list” was done. I had to realize that Megan was going away for the first time, for more than a week, and she would be with people I didn’t know in countries that were foreign to me. My daughter was going to be quite literally on her own, far far from home.
Midday
Amia Moore gives us an honest and compelling view of how her family overcomes grief and finds the peace and strength to move forward in the shadows of a deep loss.

Today is the launch day of the Canada Kiss Map, an inspired creation of writer, creative process facilitator, and my friend, Chris Fraser. As big brilliant ideas often begin, […]
Key To My Heart
I have no particular sentimental attachments to Valentine’s Day. It conjures up memories of the second grade at Condon Elementary school in 1955, and an empty envelope taped to the front of my desk because none of those kids who brought in silly cheap cartoon valentines had addressed one to me. To my recollection, only […]
A Kiss
” A kiss is just a kiss; a smile is just a smile” as the song goes. So many kisses, a short kiss, a long passionate kiss, a peck, the kiss of death. ” Kiss me and smile for me tell me that you’ll wait for me.” Will you? Or am I going to get […]
Valentine’s Anniversaries
Valentine’s Day, as corny as it may sound, is my wedding anniversary. I figured with all the hearts and cupids around at that time of year my husband was bound to remember it. Sorry to disappoint all you romantics out there this was not a sentimental gesture, but a totally practical one on my part. […]
