Travel as an Antidote for Fear
Thirty-five years ago, I arrived at a slimy hotel outside of Bangkok. My flight had landed in the early morning hours, so I booked a cheap hotel near the airport for the night. It turned out to be one of the worst nights I’d spend alone as a young adult. I wrote about it in...Continue reading Travel as an Antidote for Fear →

NYC Midnight – The 250-Word Microfiction Challenge (Round 2)
On Monday, I wrote about entering NYC Midnight’s 250-Word Microfiction Challenge. If you missed it, please read it first. As you’re reading this post, I’m probably flying over Asia right now. We land in Seoul, Korea, and from there, we head to Hanoi. The total flying time is 20 hours. With the layover, it will...Continue reading NYC Midnight – The 250-Word Microfiction Challenge (Round 2) →

NYC Midnight – The 250-Word Microfiction Challenge
By the end of the week, I’ll be on the other side of the world. I’ve been to Asia many times but never to Vietnam. Given the horror stories I’ve read about travel in pandemic times, I won’t believe I’m leaving until I’m strapped into the plane and in the air! As I’ll be away...Continue reading NYC Midnight – The 250-Word Microfiction Challenge →

Flowers by Miley Cyrus #MusicMonday
I like Miley Cyrus. She can sing, dance, write, and “Flowers” comes ahead of February — a month that can be bitterly cold and difficult. In Canada, Valentine’s Day and Family Day take place in February. If you’re on your own, the days can be harsh reminders of it. This song is an empowering nod...Continue reading Flowers by Miley Cyrus #MusicMonday →

Nessun Dorma by Jeff Beck #MusicMonday
As I was zooming with a friend last week, a notification popped up on my laptop that Jeff Beck had died. I’d heard nothing about him being sick. He’d just been touring, was vegetarian and seemed in good health. I was so sad to hear of his passing. My husband and I had seen him...Continue reading Nessun Dorma by Jeff Beck #MusicMonday →

Seeds by Camille #MusicMonday
After last week’s post with Sia, musician and author friend, Brian Taylor introduced me to this week’s musical guest. Thank you Brian! French singer, Camille possesses a voice that matches her delicate, ethereal quality. “Seeds” was the first of her many songs I listened to. I like the simplicity of the lyrics and the meditative,...Continue reading Seeds by Camille #MusicMonday →

Unstoppable by Sia #MusicMonday
For the first Monday of 2023, I’m choosing a song that released six years ago but is currently climbing the charts. A beautiful woman I care deeply about shared “Unstoppable” with me, and I want to share it with you. The lyrics by Australian singer-songwriter Sia are original and uplifting, and it’s a great song to...Continue reading Unstoppable by Sia #MusicMonday →

Reflections, Transitions, and Reconnections of 2022
2022 went by in a flash for me. In preparation for previous year-end posts, I would scour journals, calendars, and my blog, notating month by month anything newsworthy I wanted to include. I’d type out a list of possible topics and go from there. This year I’m doing none of that. Instead, I’m sitting in...Continue reading Reflections, Transitions, and Reconnections of 2022 →
