(written Thursday, August 21, 2025) How delightful when someone shares their passion for a topic and invites others to share in their excitement too. We visited the Clearwater Marine Aquarium (CMA) recently, and one of the volunteers engaged me about her experience working there. She shared with such ease and joy. Clearly she enjoys what…

(written Wednesday, August 20, 2025) When I was in college, I spent a summer working in a factory.

Well, I am in the progress of catching up again with the writings I have been completing. I write in my phone, often not taking the time to pull out my computer to publish what I write. I am still keeping up with writing everyday, though, so I am excited about that. I wrote something…

(written Wednesday, August 13, 2025) She soared as one who has no cares, no anchor of her freedoms on this green earth. Dipping and rising, graceful and light. A slight twist of her torso and she veered to the right. A tuck of the chin and down she dove. Zip, zip! Across the rippling waters,…
