The Boy with the Broken Heart

I met a boy once… sorta. I mean I met him, in a kinda-sorta way, But he never met me. His name was Kori, And he loved across the pond, And I met him when he shared his story. Y’see, Kori was born with a broken heart That could not be fixed, no matter what

The Pendulum of Roe v. Wade

Whether a pendulum swing is inherently good or bad is sometimes up to interpretation. And we humans do not always interpret information, occurrences, events the same way. Roe v. Wade was the first pendulum swing, and it has definitely been interpreted differently over the years. But what did this swing do? Basically, the decision allowed

Anxiety Makes Everything Harder

Go here to listen if you don’t mind. I was working on a completely different blog when, as happens to writers sometimes, my Vicious Muse smacked me in the head with her sledge hammer. Insisted I change subjects for the moment. So, here ya go. I want to talk about the dangers of the anti-vaccine

Let’s Talk About the Rings

Rings, Rings Everywhere If you know me in real life, you know I’ve been wearing multiple rings for around 20 years. Well, saying I’ve been wearing rings is a bit of a misnomer. I live in them. In fact, of the 11 rings, I only remove the faerie on my right index finger at night.

How often did this

It’s a Twofer!

Really? Why? Are You REALLY That Desperate?             So my wedding ring is a very simple, sterling silver, black diamond channel band. Nothing fancy. And apparently kind of delicate.

Reasons, Seasons, Lifetimes

            Back in 2000, my girls and I left Connecticut and moved back to New Hampshire. The day we left town, my very dear friend, Kelly, gave me a really pretty gold and ruby, bow-shaped ring. I have worn it almost continuously since. Until today. See, the ring has these little, tiny rubies, and a

Well anyway…
