I have a relationship in my life that is good. It serves me, it serves the other person. But as good as it is, it’s occupying the spot where a great relationship could be. Until recently, I didn’t think that was an issue. But it is. An issue, that is. The issue is this: two [...]
All Relationships are ‘Real’
My friend, Janice, died yesterday. She was only 29. And I’m mad. And sad. And grateful to have known her. And blessed. I met Janice back in 2001, online. For the first couple of years, our friendship grew over the phone and instant messenger. She was half my age, but you’d never know it to [...]

F’bk Posts: Posing a few Good Questions
Most every morning I sit down at the computer and type out a question on my Facebook profile page– I call this posting a “White Horse” question. You see, back when I was in college there was a drinking establishment across the street from our dorm called the White Horse Inn. Sometime [...]

When it comes to religion, I never made a conscious choice. Instead, I inherited it. My parents are and always have been active members of [...]
Risk Your Muse
Has anybody ever said to you, “You know, you really ought to be a “brain surgeon” or “ballerina” or “actor“ or “writer”? The possibilities are endless, it seems for things that others can suggest for us. And it just seems so…I don’t know…risky. I was asked to write a prayer for a specific group and I was [...]
Risking Growing Older (gulp)
Risking Growing Older …And the truth is for many, many, many folks, I’m not that old. You know, it’s funny: in the detective books I read (Baldacci, Palmer, de Mille) when there’s “an old sage, weathered detective” in the office they always say, `she is in her fifties…’ At 52 and now on the other [...]
She’s Baaaaaccckkkk . . .
I just re-read my first Risk a Day blog post (October 31st) to see what risk(s) I’d reported having taken then and to refresh my memory about to what risk(s) I’d committed. It’s only been two months since then, not a long time, but I feel SOOO far past where I was then. Since my [...]
