We Do Not Die
I just came across an engaging poem that I have seen several times before. It’s about death. Everytime I read this poem, I take it in a little differently depending on my evolving beliefs of the afterlife. The name of the poem is “Immortality” by Claire Harner, written in 1934. (I’ve also seen another very…

Editor Shock
It’s a funny thing when you write a book and you first receive back the suggestions from the develpmental editor. It feels like criticism of your creative product…”your baby.” It’s as if they commented about moving their nose to the top of their head and suggest that one eye should be on the chin. Your…

It’s a Big Deal…Till It’s Not
I know someone who’s had cancer, open heart surgery, 17 other surgeries and several major losses in her life, but has more excitement and enthusiasm for life than most people I know!

A Year and a Half Today
I hope someday I won’t still be tallying time…time he’s been gone and how long since we… (fill in the blank.) I know the grief from losing my “54-year person” has had some lessening recently, but the pity parties still happen…just less intense, for shorter periods of time, and less often…thank goodness. Yes, I’ll always…

Chance and Readiness
Louis Pasteur once said, “Chance favors the prepared mind.” My late husband used to repeat that quote to all of his students to encourage them to educate themselves so that they’d be ready if lucky opportunities arrived. I have also embraced that thought completely, and I have included it in my book about him and…

Happy Anniversary Signs
/ I tried to stay happy on what would have been our 54th wedding anniversary, as a gift to my late husband. I know he watches over me, and I know in my heart he would not want me spending the day crying about missing him since he passed last year. I planned a day…
