It used to be so huge to her. It use to fill the room and consume her thoughts. But now it was almost gone. She could barely see it and definitely could not touch it. How could something that big shrink so small? Was it sick? Was it dying? Who had broken it? Could it [...]

She stepped toward the edge of the board. Knees numb, legs jumping, she wondered how she would do this. But something in her felt that she could only do this. No quitting, no going back…it was as if the only choice was to dive in. She had been training and practicing on how to swim [...]
Yesterday, I purchased a new lunch box. I was so happy with myself to finally have something that reflects my style to carry my food in. It’s cute and chic (for a lunch box) and it can easily be mistaken for a handbag. I adore the little thing and find that it reminds [...]
You ever noticed how everybody seems to know somebody that “can help you with that. Let me just give them a call for you. Don’t worry, I’ll hook you up.” These days everybody seems to need a hook up, want a hook up, or have a hook up. Have you ever wondered what all that [...]

I love driving back country roads with hills and curves and changing [...]
Do you remember the nursery rhyme about Humpty Dumpty? It went something like this . . .
Humpty Dumpty sat on the wall,
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall,
all the King’s horses and
all the King’s men
couldn’t put Humpty back together again
He was an egg, and when eggs fall apart it seems impossible to get them back [...]
We traveled a-lot when I was growing up and for a season we stayed in Jacksonville, Florida near the water. Every evening my sisters and I would build sand castles, create shared adventures within our mind, and search out clams fully expecting to find pearls on the inside. We seemed to never tire [...]
I used to imagine myself rounding the track, handing the baton off to Flo Jo (Florence Griffith-Joyner) herself and catching my breathe while she ran the last leg of the 4 by 400 in the Olympics. In my memory I couldn’t hear the sound of the crowd over my own excitement of just being [...]
