A Friend

I really did not want to use Friend for the F challenge. But it’s the one F word that keeps coming back to me. In my humble opinion too many people will use the word “friend” without knowing the true meaning of what being a friend is. “I have four hundred and seventy-six friends on Facebook.” […]

Expectation Earned

Expectation: the act or state of anticipating or looking forward to the coming occurrence; the act of considering something about to happen probable or certain. I confess, my expectations are set really high. I expect more from people than they usually deliver. Why? Because I expect people to act and perform the same as me. […]

Daydreams in Dustpans

As a little girl, I used to make up embellished stories for myself and whoever else would listen to me tell them. I sat on the old rope swing at my grandparents’ house and would talk to the picnic table, which sometimes had my sister and cousins, and sometimes just a big white cat. I […]

Serpent from old, this charismatic man, Steals her heart with a dramatic plan. His words are just a deceiving coy, Fashioning an […]

Beers and BBQ’s

  “The beers’ on ice, the tea is extra sweet and the grill is smoking. Plenty of burgers, hot dogs and chicken for everyone so make sure you come with a big appetite.  Save room for dessert because your grandmother has made an apple pie, banana pudding and strawberry shortcake and a whole table full […]

Two Lips

You got two lips? Use ’em! We all like to think we make a difference in people’s lives. We want to be that person that gets the credit for what the next person did. You know what I’m talking about. We see it all the time on social media. Someone posts something and a ton […]

Let the Countdown Begin

  One week from today the challenge begins. My last post was in January! Wow, I let two months pass without posting a word. What in the world am I thinking? Am I really going to come up with something every day for a whole month? Where will I find the time? Do I really think I can complete […]

Challenge Me This

I’ve been thinking about this challenge and debating with myself whether to go with a certain topic or wing-ding it with whatever comes up for the letter of the day. Decisions, decisions. Questions and questions. Tall Cool ☺ne reminds me all the time whenever I ask a question that I’m usually asking two or three […]

Perilous Times

  I spoke truth and came under attack. Co-winkie-dinks? Doubt it. A photo was under fire for containing nudity — it was a picture of the White House decked out in gay pride colors. My aliases on WordPress were questioned, and I was accused of having multiple personalities (don’t all writers?) Facebook decided I wasn’t […]
