A Taxing Opportunity
February has opened its sleepy eyes and stretched, playing the role of leader as we head through winter to spring. As in flowers, birdsong, and taxes. Taxes? Yes. I’ve been busy gathering my receipts this week, preparing to meet with my tax consultant soon. Though this is not a job I relish, it has to […]
Returning the Favor
This week I had the privilege of gifting a copy of my second novel, Love Calls Her Home, to a person who had contributed personal insights into the foster parenting system, information I incorporated into the novel. The facts I gained from her I used to track the journey of the young boy in the […]

I […]

Gold, orange, and red have replaced the green in many of the trees signaling the approach of winter and the intent of the flora around us to sleep. My […]

An Uncelebrated Birthday
This weekend my sister, the cute little girl in the front of the family photo above, would have turned another year older. I would have purchased a card and put money in it, then sent it as a surprise to her mailbox. I wrote about her untimely death in July, so I won’t repeat my words. Instead, […]
