Words. Love. 9 Nov 2011 | 02:36 pm
I am usually bursting with words. But tonight, I am feeling quiet and thankful; just thanking God for the words of my students and the two nurses who nursed me physically and spiritually last week. Wo...
Feeling the feelings 5 Nov 2011 | 12:19 pm
Woke up around 9 this morning. I’ve had the luxury of doing that for the past week or so — since I came home from the hospital. Something my mind and body has needed. Although, I don’t know if waking ...
From a student. 3 Nov 2011 | 10:40 am
Hubby went to my school to pick up the boys and brought these home for me. They are from a student. I love that orchids symbolize love, beauty and strength. But in his culture — he is Chinese — I bel...
Goodbye, Baby Samuel 2 Nov 2011 | 10:38 am
Silence as I lay in a hospital bed, its back stretched back as far as it would allow. I was just as tired and uncomfortable and achy as that old bed. Seemed as if we probably hurt together. I was hot....

So I teach English and writing at a small private school. I have a handful of international students who mainly speak French. One of the things I love about teaching the international students is that...
13 years. 13 dollars. But, priceless, timeless love. 19 Oct 2011 | 12:34 pm
Saturday was a special day — October 15, my niece’s birthday. Thirteen years earlier, I was sitting beside my little sister in a hospital bed. She had just had her baby. A girlfriend and I stopped by ...
No juice here 13 Oct 2011 | 09:54 am
I drive myself c-razy. I sat here writing for a full hour, filling the page with juicy, juicy details about a person who I decided has not yet learned to forgive and as a result is harboring bitterne...
Keeping it Steve 11 Oct 2011 | 10:34 am
Last night, I woke up to the sound of thunder. And rain. Lots of rain. I normally love the sound of rain on the roof in the middle of the night. But not last night. Not long ago, we took the mom van t...
