    Share a story about the furthest you’ve ever traveled from home. My first thought is home is in Florida. I’ve been to England, so for distance that’s the furthest. I was six. My grandfather kept telling me, “When you get to London you will have tea with the Queen.” I believed him. The first time…

    I don’t Cry

    What brings a tear of joy to your eye? I think this question is meant to provoke sweet stories of deep feelings and tranquillity. Sorry folks, not happening here. I used to cry at every little thing. Then life happened. I learned that my tears are only valuable to me. If I have a tear…

  • Why Blog?

    Why Blog?

    Why do you blog? Our site is called The O’Garas, I do 99.9% of the blogging. My other half is deep into writing the second book of our fantasy series. He has never been a blogger. It’s just not his thing. However, we both enjoy the sharing of ideas and truth. We like the open…

    I’m a Non Morning-Morning Person

    What’s your favorite time of day? I am a big fan of sleep. I don’t like waking up but I covet mornings. When my husband and I got married we decided to set aside the first hour of the day for each other. We don’t pick up our phones. Our children don’t knock on the…

    Honey, Child let me tell ya….

    My favorite recipe is Chess Squares from my Yankee Granny. I can say that now that she is in heaven and can’t fuss at me for calling her a yankee or giving away her secret. This cake tastes like it took hours to make. It is so rich and yummy. Let me know if you…

  • Excitement is Overrated

    Excitement is Overrated

    Tell us about the last thing you got excited about. The last thing I got excited about was…let me think…no…not that…maybe….hum… See the thing is I don’t get excited. I am a genuinely happy person and tend to stay that way. I got news my daughter and grandchildren who live in Texas are going to…

  • Do I Enjoy Writing?

    Do I Enjoy Writing?

    What do you enjoy most about writing? I’m not so sure that I enjoy writing. It’s something I am compelled to do. When I don’t write I get irritable. It’s like a compulsion. I would relate writing to eating. I can skip a meal, but can’t go long without food. Writing is like that for…

  • Only the Beautiful

    Only the Beautiful

    Only the Beautiful by Susan Meissner was an enlightening story about the human response to other humans who are different in ways we don’t understand. In 1938 Rosie was a different girl who suffered from the then unknown condition of Synesthesia. She sees colors when she hears sound. Her parents forced her to hide it.…

    The Color of Water

    What do you love about where you live? I love that I can be anywhere I need to be in five or ten minutes. Even this is a short drive away. I love it here. To be here is home. Light & Love, Lori
