G’day, greetings, and salutations. I hope as you view this post you find yourself smiling and content. I gave myself a dose of art therapy today with photos I snapped of flowers that have been in my home this summer, all gifts from dear people in my life. I adore the text I placed below…

An Angel is Born
{Reading time, approx. 6–7 min.} For the holidays this year, I treated myself by hiring the infamous Jay Shryer (a.k.a., The Supreme God of Words) to write a Custom Story for me. A small but related detail: okay, I’ll admit it, I spent at least 75% of my childhood pretending I was a superhero, most…
An Oblique Walk
I’m taking a new twist with my post today—please bear with me. Things have been pretty kooky in my world lately, and I don’t want to get too deep into discussion about life, but Ms. MS and I have been having some serious talks. (I found out she really loves earl gray tea—who could have…
Climb Into Your Rocket Ship
{reading time ~ 3 minutes} Listening to an interview with Philip Roth on NPR’s Fresh Air the other day, I felt struck by lightening regarding a particular comment he made.

My post today has two parts, a introduction to a very special author and her book, and a meet-n-greet with two women breathing change—while walking the walk. I couldn’t help but to spend time today glowing about these women. (Does the…
