Happy Anniversary

Happy 36th Anniversary of Beauty and the Beast's premiere!   At the time of its airing I knew that the show would change my life, I just couldn't imagine how much! It has been a comfort and impetus, inspiration and provocation for me much of my adult life. As...

Finding the Light

Sometimes life feels impossible. Sometimes it feels like spring will never return, that light is hidden, engulfed. When I am wallowing in the depths, Marilla's line from the 1980’s Anne of Green Gables comes back to me.  It struck me the very first time I heard...

Sad Days and Patton Oswalt

Although there is some question about the scientific accuracy labeling the third Monday in January as the saddest day of the year, I think no one denies that for those of us in the Northern Hemisphere, January is a tough month. I am no different. Less light, less...

Baby Jessica

I am sorry I am late. I knew it was going to be hard to post during my husband’s 50th birthday week, but the universe also threw me another curve ball, a “Baby Jessica”, if you will. I fell down the Covid hole… again. I didn’t realize I had it during my husband’s...

When I was pregnant with my first baby, I started obsessively reading about serial killers. Why would I do that? In such a joyous, yet fraught time of a woman's life, it seems like a strange yen. It wasn't like they were lurking around every corner. According to...

Sick

Ugghh. I am sick. Congestion, tired, achy, fever, the works. Not testing positive for Covid. Just a cold. yah, fall. Writing while sick is like trying to hear someone talking underwater. You can see the words, but geeze, they are hard to grasp.  Between everything...

A Room of One’s Own

As promised, (to myself most of all,) I am back two weeks after posting my last chapter with the next installment of Home and thinking about Virginia Wolfe's, A Room of One's Own.  Not only is this essay a splendidly flowing inquiry into women and fiction, it is an...
