“Life…..like a box of chocolates and a bowl of cherries”
This morning, I opened my container of cherries….it was a eclectic bunch…..full of weird little faces and heart shapes and twins and strange little “noses” ….I had never seen a pack of cherries quite the same….. Each had its own … Continue reading
“Breakfast with St. Francis”
Sometimes, a little corner just outside your door can be a soothing escape in a hectic world……. It might be a wind chime……tinkling in the breeze…….it might be a blooming rose lifting her face to the sun……..or it might be … Continue reading

‘Woods Burner” A Book Review
“Woods Burner” takes a day in history and turns it into an insightful work of fiction. To me, it was a little like “Our Town” in reverse. Instead of the dead facing the living and realizing how precious life is….the … Continue reading
“Book Review~~Wolf Totem”
Let me begin by saying this epic tale is not one for faint of heart or stomach. I tried to think of a word to describe the magnitude of terror, of blood bath, and struggled to convey the violence in … Continue reading
