• A Former Flight Attendant's Experience During 9/11

  I was a flight attendant for 30 years, so 9/11 was extra horrific for me as I watched the towers fall that day. I knew it could have been me.

• The Dream

  8/21/2011

  Have you ever dreamed a scary dream over and over? I did one time in my early twenties and it followed me for a few months. I finally wrote about it and I stopped having the dream. It's been many, many years but when I read it, it still scares me.
• Moving Day Follow Up

  8/10/2011

  I am so happy that many people could relate to my moving post. It has been 2 and a half months and we still have boxes unpacked in the dining room. My daughter and her husband are moving from Dallas to Louisville and that is 900 miles. They are both much younger than I am but are having their own sp
• User Post: Moving: Do I Really Have to Take All This Stuff?

  8/9/2011

  I was speaking with my Aunt the other day and complaining about all the packing that I had to do.

  I have a friend who hosts a local TV show and has been trying to persuade me to appear on her show and discuss my writings. I have turned her down many times in the past but then I decided that if I could encourage even just one amateur writer to start submitting their work, than it would be worth i
• Time Zones

  7/27/2011

  Christmas is over for another year and already I think how quickly it will be here again next year. If things work out as I have planned, I will be in Maine. My retirement dream has always been to have a cabin in the woods, surrounded by flaky, frosty snow and tall pine trees. I will sit in front of

• Taking Grandmother Home

• Night Words

  6/28/2011

  This poem is one of longing for time gone by. And if we could bring our past years back, would we really do it? It describes how sometimes the night can be the loneliest time when you are alone, especially when most of your life is behind you.
• Moving: Do I Really Have to Take All This Stuff?

  6/24/2011

  One thing we all have in common is our great hatred for moving from one living place to another. Somehow, trying to squeeze all our stuff into boxes and dismantling furniture creates quite a bit of stress. I suggest you pack and laugh together.

  A summer day is full of sights, smells and sounds that are unique to that season. This poem tries to capture some of those senses and feelings.
