I dreamed a dream last week - June 12. I wrote it down June 13. On Saturday June 15, I woke up refreshed. Today we were going to celebrate Fathers Day for the men in the church. The morning was filled with unexpected business. My nephew was dropped off suddenly at 1 a.m. that Saturday...

I was driving home today listening to KGO radio which has traffic every 5 minutes and listening to the news. I heard the newsman say that there was going to be dress code this year at the Marin County Fair. Okay. And then the next thing he said was the reason that there was going to be...

Whenever I see an actress, a singer or politician woman talking about how hard it is to jungle their careers and family I simply want to take a sock and toss it at the television set. These women who have all of the benefits of any "extra" that they need, can't possibly be living in the real world...

I woke up this morning realizing that I had dreamed about one of my bible study teachers. Even now I can clearly remember that members of our church were all at a party and she was coming into the party sitting in a wheelchair. She was dressed in her normal super classy style, hair was all in...

As I looked up to veer onto the on ramp, I got over behind an...

I am driving my van down the street. Right hand on steering wheel, left hand twirling a few strands of hair, Katherine Jenkins mezzo soprano-ing Abide with Me, sun shining, alone in my thoughts and enjoying each breath I take. When out of the blue a bicycle comes out of the side street without...

Whenever she speaks I find myself sitting upright, eyes locked onto her; knowing that the words that come from her mouth are indeed given to her. I noticed as others spoke that she would look away, every now and then I thought I saw her lips move silently - she spoke to herself. Her body then...

I remember when she was about 5 years old and I was 17. She and her brother were visiting our grandmother. She is my little cousin.
