Stand Alone

Prompt: 5 minutes "Stand Alone" Stand Alone Stand alone. On your own two feet. See what you can do without any others to stop you, to help you, to harm you, to interfere, to suggest other ways. What does your heart say? What is your heart saying to you?  Stand alone. You already do stand

Fingernail Moons

My kids used to call crescent moons “fingernail moons.” When I see those luminous, thin, curved lines gleaming in a dark night sky, I smile, remembering Caroline’s delight at this original analogy. Back then, I was slim and had nice legs. Back then my bum was perky despite two pregnancies. Back then I wore short

It’s the night…

It's the night before the PET scan that will reveal whether the 9.4 mm "lesion" on my brain is anything to worry about or not. Obviously I'm glad to have some answer as to why I've had such increasingly frequent and debilitating headaches, especially during the past 6 weeks, complete with nausea and pretty much
