NO HALO
I hate labels that create delusions of superiority—even something as altruistic as “light worker.” I’ve met light workers who believe they are angels while engaging in smear campaigns and sabotage of others with a high school “mean girl” mentality. They would show no empathy for those they attempted to break and destroy. They managed all […]

HAPPY FALL
Ode to Autumn by John Keats Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness, Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun; Conspiring with him how to load and bless With fruit the vines that round the thatch-eaves run; To bend with apples the moss’d cottage-trees, And fill all fruit with ripeness to the core; To swell the gourd, and […]

A RETURN TO MY CHILDHOOD HEART
A few years ago, when I began my literary fiction series, I chose New York City as the setting for my story. I was born and raised in Woodside, Queens, New York, so it seemed the obvious choice. I soon realized this was not the story I wanted to tell. The determination to write since […]

MANGLED WINGS
“Adversity is the first path to truth.” Lord Byron Mangled Wings Weary of all the conjecture, the slants, Belly full of trite and typical rants. It’s enough for the troubled, the broken, Who have to amend it with so little spoken. Die trying while you wait for the bomb; Pray for the respite of happy […]

PASSIONS AND DREAMS
My nephew, Christopher, was about six when he gazed out the window in the backseat of the car and said, “I’m just afraid I will run out of things to draw.” He began at an early age, sketching and drawing – leaving people in awe of his talent. Every year his mom helped him put […]

ALL THE FEAR
Like many, I am crushed by Robin Williams’ tragic death and saddened by the emotional toll life takes on even the brightest lights in our world. Another gentle soul and kindred spirit is gone. We remember the world can be cruel. We don’t have to be suicidal to understand this kind of suffering. I know […]

TREASURES
As I read Peter Cottontail to my son for the third or fourth time, feeling a bit tired, I bungled a line. He said, “No, mommy, he lost one shoe amongst the cabbages and the other shoe amongst the potatoes.” Yes, that is important! I hugged him dearly for that. It was quite an improvement […]

IN THE DIMMEST LIGHT
I wake up at 4 a.m. every day, including weekends and holidays, and write for hours. It starts with nothing more than a 40-watt amber-shade lamp lit in the darkest hours, where I can see the moon outside my window. The focus is so intense, it is light before long. Creating characters and the worlds […]
