Dead On Paper

Tonight’s podcast! I’m dead on paper! At least the government may think so! What a funny day! Click here to listen.

Trust

So here is my first podcast. Trust….in your prayers, in your friendships, in your love, and your devotion. The cancer scare that wrecked some things, but built others. It’s a short one, but I’m still trying to figure out technology 🙂 Click here to listen.

Hard to Press into Pretty Words…

Stumbled across a microphone. Thought it might be easier to riff rather than write about everything going on. Talking. No self edit. No deleting of sentences. No stopping and pausing. Just talk. It’s hard to press into pretty words right now one of the most horrifying times in my life. Soon….

That Ever Dreadful Maybe

This won’t be a long post. I haven’t been very wordy lately. I’ve been very quiet…. A few Tuesdays ago I went to my dentist for what I thought was an abscessed tooth. A huge swelling developed on my neck, under my jaw. Upon inspection, she said it was not a tooth problem and demanded […]

I Miss You, Too

My mother suggested I should say something to you. And moms are often right. “You can’t keep talking about your life and then suddenly stop. People will worry.” SO! here goes! I have been struggling with essential tremors. It started about a year ago, worked it’s wild shakes only on occasion, but recently it really […]

An Afternoon in Paris

For some reason, when loneliness hits, I forget that I can come here to open up, speak, talk forward rather than inward. I forget sometimes that all of you are out there. I forget that I can speak freely to friends, even if they’re not in the room, nor even on the phone. I can […]

Babysitting A Buddha Head

My friend Kara has been running around town with a giant Buddha head as her side kick. She drives a little mini cooper, only a two seater. So she and this enormous thing have become pals to some degree. She swirls around town with a big Buddha head in her passenger seat. (I have an […]

The Mad Dash Past Christmas

I won’t lie. There is a huge part of me that wants to make a mad dash past Christmas. I think a lot of people feel like that. Now, don’t get me wrong. I’m not saying I don’t want Christmas to happen, I’m just waiting to move on from this year. I spent the first […]
