  • Bridal White

    Say yes to the dress. There’s power in the dress. I remember my sister standing in the dressing room as she stepped into the puddle of white satin on the floor. The puddle became an armor of white. Bridal white.  At twenty-three, I was reluctant to get a wedding dress. I couldn’t bear to go Read more

  • The Tree

  • Take the Damn Trees Down Already

    I will never be mother, sister, friend, or decent human of the year because of stupid Christmas cards.

  • Hope

    Moonlight Shadow, by Gabriele Corno I meant to get the chairs under the deck before winter came, I really did. I enjoy watching the ducks and geese on the pond so much that I just didn’t want to move the chair. My chair. I moved all the other ones under the deck, that should count…
