trying this
You may have tried to reach this blog page and found yourself on the “my other blog” page. Sorry for any confusion. For a while I’ve been thinking about this change. At first I thought I would best like to have a home page, welcoming folks in with a wonderful quote or two which would … Continue reading

high there
A year ago I felt as though I gave up my husband for Lent. I was at least a little hurt. I think already I could see where this was heading. I didn’t want Tim to want what I perceived as unnecessary adornments to faith in the Orthodox ritualistic style. This year, though, I’m seeing … Continue reading

it’s a good thing
I don’t as a rule sign up for Na-no-wri-mo, but I have come to enjoy reading those who pursue it faithfully, creatively. My friends who are posting every day right now include: Cecily Cherie Sandy Anna (maybe unofficially, but I think she nearly always gets in a post a day) I gain a lot from … Continue reading

the accidental graduate
I don’t know if this will be the closest I get to a higher educational degree, but I thought I would mention… I started writing posts on a Blogger blog four years ago. This morning, my WordPress dashboard tells me this is my 200th post. Since I began the work of educating myself to write … Continue reading

This week, in my little Internet sphere, a friend I have known only through blogging has blogged about blogging issues. Fresca is the creative person behind some cool videos (about things other than blogging). She is an author of geography books and someone who knows how to make her own books, if the situation calls … Continue reading
posty note
This week, you may have noticed, I posted five times. Last weekend I decided to try writing things ahead and then utilizing the blog’s “schedule post” feature so they would magically appear, as if predestined. This has been a trial run but not a trial.

still, stories happen
This site’s subtitle should perhaps read differently. Maybe “an old wife writer who thinks about belief.” But I do still prefer “capturing a story’s glimmer,” because it’s a goal of sorts. In the practice of this life and craft I am motivated by seeking to let the stories near me shine. There are some beauties. … Continue reading
in random briefs
I overslept this morning. Today the heat probably broke a temperature record. Will it be our last hot hot day of the year? Will, a good friend of my son, James, leaves this week for college far away. Today Will’s mom, Shelley, and I chatted in the shade out at their country home, while her … Continue reading
