It’s the smells
What makes you feel nostalgic? Warm cookies just out of the oven. Cut grass. Thunder storms. Honeysuckle in full bloom. Fresh brewed coffee. My husband’s neck when we embrace. Salt water in the air.

Unchanging Views
I can say that I have always fallen in the middle of conservatives and liberals. My political view is and has always been pro-human rights and freedom. Let people be who they are and let them vote for their values and beliefs. Speak the truth and it is up to each person to decide if…

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…

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…
