The promise of a beautiful new beginning. Thank you, God, for the reminder that growth is always possible, even when nobody notices.

Said “goodbye” to the current rendition of the

Said “goodbye” to the current rendition of the library’s main branch with my writing partner and friend @anne_schmitt . Behind us is a work-in-progress mural by Osiris Rain. All part of the “One For The Books” event through 11/14/21.

The Charlotte Mecklenburg main library is now closed for a total renovation and will reopen in late 2025. The new facility will be gorgeous and more functional than ever before.

I lovingly recall our home town’s main library. Right now I can smell the building’s distinctive atmosphere. Polishing oils on the oak floors, desks, tables, and chairs fused with ambient scents of paper, binding glue, dust, and dank to thrill me. I would step inside and take a deep breath before returning books to the circulation desk (and often paying a fine).

I don’t know if today’s parents are permitted to drop their kids off for a summer’s day like mine did then, but my fondest vacation memories include days in the stacks with oscillating fans mounted on tall stands to keep the humidity tolerable in the un-air conditioned building. Heaven.

My free-to-a-good-home fern is perfect in the offi

My free-to-a-good-home fern is perfect in the office! She sits right behind me to the right, like a sentry.

Back story: while shopping for fall annuals and trying to decide on the right plant for my office the gal helping me said she had this fern that would look great and if I’d come back the following day she’d give it to me. It had been outside all summer and she didn’t have room inside for winter. Lucky me!

Yelling louder and hitting harder won’t fix this

Yelling louder and hitting harder won’t fix this broken world. I am trying to be mindful that every angry, hateful, fear-filled person is acting out of a place of feeling unloved.

Now’s the time to be the kind of artist Van Gogh describes. We know all too well how to dislike and disapprove of people, and we see how that’s turned out. It seems to me that if we could learn to love each other in our mutual brokenness we could find a path forward. Together.

Riddle me this: why is healthcare the only consume

Riddle me this: why is healthcare the only consumer good (which is what healthcare is here) in a supposedly free market economy that must be purchased before knowing how much you’ll pay? It boggles the mind.

Yes, of course I know about insurance contracts blah blah blah. My question is WHY the heck we accept this? It’s bizarre!

This hand-blown glass vase! Given to my hubby this week for his birthday by a beloved friend and neighbor who “gets us.” May you all be blessed in friendship like ours.

I have had the privilege of editing and ghostwriti

I have had the privilege of editing and ghostwriting books since 2010 and it never ceases to thrill me when a client expresses their appreciation for my work.

This gift of chocolates is especially meaningful because the author thought the publisher’s choice of me as editor was not a good match.
We stuck to our shared goal of producing a meaningful and entertaining book, and found friendship in the process.

My younger self would not have been the right editor for this client because she was more self-centered and impatient. Age—and a lot of hard knocks—has brought me to a better version of myself. I am so grateful for all the relationships that have knocked off (some) of my sharper edges. It’s been worth the pain.
