I swear it, these days remain transparent of the untruth of the matter of positivity and hope in society. I just want to stop trying to get anything accomplished and give up the hope in ever making it as a writer or a realtor, or a housewife or a pet owner or anything that has …
The Closer I get, the further away I go…
I found out today that my friend had a double stroke; that is, a stroke on both sides of her brain. This completely incapacitates her and I do not know if she will come out of it, I pray she does, but only God knows for sure. Last year, before Christmas I lost another dear …
Mistake!
Do you remember the movie, "Jerry Maguire?" Do you remember the part when he wrote the "mission statement" that ended his employ with the big agency? Do you remember how exactly he realized what he'd done? It wasn't when they fired him, it wasn't when they threw him a party. It was right after he'd …
Today’s “slant” on original meaning of Literature
I am posting an article from another "writer" this week, not only because the topic is interesting (since she too is posting on another writer's work) but because of the slant of the writer who is posting about another writer--try and keep up.

Hi. A bit off topic this morning, not about writing or reading, but about contemplating something from another day or time. Before everything starts, before everyone wakes, it's Saturday morning, true and clear; without complications, without drama, without heartache. The morning will always give that sense of hope, grace, gratitude. It's there, you just have …

Review of “Goldfinch” by Donna Tartt
Review: “Goldfinch” by Donna Tartt Posted on March 30, 2019by L.Nolan, Editor “The panic that overtook me then was hard to explain.

Who is Capable Anymore?
I keep reading how "this generation is muddying up the entire culture by its Zombian characteristics. You know, education has created students without creativity, only good for multiple choices, no innovation, all robotic responses. Have you heard this? Am I overreacting? Perhaps. But I might throw a few examples out to you. While the prior …
