My mom used to say it, “family is most important.” It seemed like hyperbole when I was a teenager. Of course family is important, I thought, but so is spending time with other friends, doing fun things, etc. Typical teenager thoughts, young person thoughts, natural. I thought at the time my mom was trying to …

Lyrics Post: “Free Your Mind”
Quite unexpected, not really a genre I partake from too often; too often that’s where the gems lie. Lots of folks know these ladies rock it, knowing the beats, words good too, message good too. Whether you’re en vogue or not, free your mind all the same. Maybe now more than ever. “Prejudice, wrote a …

“Pressure Is A Privilege“
This idea, timeless. Let’s remember, often times it is so. The pressure we feel is from the circumstance we’ve put ourselves, the opportunity to benefit, to shine. And so this particular pressure is a privilege. Let us rise to the occasion. Let us rise each day and give it our best. The moment asks nothing …
Valentine
Most of my life, fleeting, this idea, of “valentine”. But never fleeting, the ideal of “love.” That is what I am committed to. I’ve been blessed with enough romance to smile, and tingle, in my life. I hope for more. But of love? Of love I am sure. And forever. And evermore.
Kids Do The Darndest Things

Mom
Today’s her day, what to say? She poured herself out in a particular way. Salt of the earth, that’s part of her core, foundation of family right down to the core. She gave herself to us until we were grown, then shifted to pour herself into other work, ever caring for others. She and Abe …
Lyrics Post: “Beast of Burden”
"Beast Of Burden", The Rolling Stones. Not much needs to be said. Same old magic. The riff, the lyric, the feel...all I want... “I'll never be your beast of burden My back is broad, but it's a-hurting All I want, for you to make love to me I'll never be your beast of burden I've …
Lyrics Post: “Volcano”
Way back when, another one turned me upside down with glee, a little ditty by Jimmy Buffett. And maybe my favorite memory of this song is dancing and singing to it with my mom at cousin’s wedding decades ago, the joy still easily remembered. So FUN. Volcano" Now, I don't know, I don't know where …
Write Anywhere
As I continue my writing work, striving to capture the daily voice, a few things come to mind. I write to share what comes to mind, to share, to inspire. That’s my mission. I’m grateful for the means to scribble down and publish whenever it comes to mind, to capture the muse in the moment. …
