if frogs had wings

I published my book! I’m super excited y’all. This is the first in a series and it’s a humorous and poignant dramatic look at my life as a child. I’ve quoted the book before in one or two blog posts—it involves a journey out of innocence and into a world I was not ready for….

When Everything You Touch Goes To Hell

How to Navigate Life At Its Worst Photo by CHUTTERSNAP on Unsplash Is it just me? The other day I was in one of the booths I operate in the town I live in. I have three of them, and I sell vintage items, art, antiques — things like that.  I just finished what I considered a fantabulous…

He couldn’t see ten feet in front of him. That’s what we always say down here in the South when someone’s vision is impaired. In this case, I’m not sure exactly how far he could see but I suspect it can’t be measured by feet. The Bible says, “Do not withhold good from those to…

Something About the Way Time Passes

Something about the way time passes, something about the way it leaves me behind. And scenes from yesterday just keep playing in my mind. It’s been a long time since I felt the way I’m feeling right now. There’s may still be time to change my life, but to tell the truth I just don’t…

Everything is Different, Everything is the Same

The Way It All Unfolds

I haven’t been able to write for the better part of a year. Not much, anyway. Life has been overwhelming. I’m pretty embarrassed about it really. I got myself into a bit of an emotional disaster and couldn’t find my way out of it. I wouldn’t call it depression exactly. To be honest, I don’t…

When You’re In Pain, The Pain Is All There Is

  Photo by Külli Kittus on Unsplash This is how to save a life. Pain. It’s completely mind-consuming. At least that’s the case with excruciating pain, like childbirth, earaches, and toothaches. Those are just the examples that come to my head immediately, and there’s a reason for that. I have an earache, and it’s been…

A Non-Political Look at Life

And how precious it is.                                                                 Photo by Jung Ho Park on Unsplash The thing about life (and this isn’t a political argument) is…
