• The Stories We Tell

  Having raised six children, one boy, and five girls, I became adept at deep emotions and excessive drama. It’s a whole new world with eleven of the fifteen grands being boys. Trains, earth moving equipment, anything that can be thrown, dinosaurs–I’ve learned much about the passions of the younger male gender. Their energy level surpasses […]

• No One Is A No One

  When I was in first grade, my teacher was a stickler for coloring within the lines. I had a rather cavalier attitude about crayons; I wasn’t particular about lines because I daydreamed while coloring. I wouldn’t pay attention to the edges–which got me “messy” stickers.
