Triple Whammy

I’m looking out the window at the season’s first significant snowfall. The plows have been out already, but in two months today will be merely a ho-hum winter day, and not worth a plow run. We face a long, cold winter here on the south shore of Lake Ontario, where...

Salt of the Earth

I was shopping with my husband in the “healthy” grocery store food section. Trying to be helpful, Gene drew my attention to delicious looking items that were either too high in sugar, fat, or salt. Even non-GMO, organic, foods can be overloaded with those three tasty...

The Formula

Many years ago, as members of the Sports Car Club of America, my husband and I attended races run by the Club in Watkins Glen, NY. I recall standing at the edge of the racetrack just before the start of a race. I sensed the drivers’ pent up anticipation as they waited...

From “Hope Inspired Stories”

November broods over us with early darkness and chill breezes. Add the pandemic, national polarization, and election recounts, now more than ever, we need a glimmer of hope and light. My dear friend and author, Patricia Iacuzzi, loves to celebrate other writers. Her...

Blessed are the Caregivers

Today, I am pleased to introduce you to Author/Speaker Ann (Nancy) Rhodes, NP. We met online and then shared a delightful hour getting to know each other in a virtual meeting. Based on her work as a nurse practitioner in community health, Nancy brings a wealth of...

As a woman “of a certain age” married to someone of an even higher “certain” age, I find that galloping entropy has taken over our lives. Since entropy (that unrelenting decreasing functioning of just about every body part), has reared its ugly head, we spend more...

God is Sovereign

My husband and I had no idea we were “dog people” until Molson loped into our lives. A German shepherd/huskie mix, Molson was on his way to the animal shelter when he took a detour into our home and hearts. He was amazingly docile, obedient, and lovable – a perfect...

Know Thyself

My husband was a forensic chemist in our county crime lab for forty years. People used to ask, “What is a forensic chemist?” Now we simply reply, “CSI.” At first the lab had only three scientists, and they worked on every kind of case — murder, DWI, hit and run, you...

A Problem for Every Solution

Have you ever brainstormed solutions to a problem, only to realize you have a problem for each solution? I find when I do that, I’m left to stew in my own juice while I make no progress. That’s me when it comes to exercise. I know, and write about, how important it is...

The Shot Felt Around the World

No doubt the world is hoping for that magic bullet, that shot in the arm, more quickly than ever as now we learn President Trump is hospitalized with Covid -19. Clearly this novel virus can even break through the protective presidential bubble! We are far from winning...
