Many people have skeletons in their closets. I do not, not really. I’ve aired all my “dirty laundry” – and then some. What I have is a closet full of “what ifs.” I mean this both literally and figuratively. Pushed to the back of my real closet of real things are items of clothing I...

You’re walking along, enjoying the breeze, smelling the flowers, basking in the warmth of the sun, happy songs on your tongue, praise in your heart, joy from head to toe, and then someone runs up to you and punches you in the gut.

So, I heard rumor we just ended a whole decade, the first of the 2000s. Ahem. Let us recall that math is not my best subject; I was sure it ended at the end of this new year. Except, well, I hadn’t really been thinking in terms of decades, just new years. While I was...

An end of the year post, everything must go! It has to be done! It has to! (Exclamation point much?) 2009 has been the kind of year for me that I am both sad and happy to see go. This year was full of changes and newness, and if we really pay attention, most years...
