Reclaiming April | Me Too

April 1, 2023April 1, 202312 Comments

Thanks to T.S. Eliot’s “The Wasteland,” many of us are acutely aware “April is the cruelest month.” In fact, I began to panic about April a week ago because an event or line was added to my calendar and to-do list every time I read an email, answered a call, or left my office for … Continue reading Reclaiming April | Me Too

Sunny Blossoms | Take What You Need

August 8, 2022August 8, 202210 Comments

If you’ve ever seen my sunflower wall, you know that my friends keep me well-supplied with sunshine. I can’t tell you the number of times my wall of sunny blossoms cheered me and ushered me from a sour mood to an elevated one. As far as I’m concerned, the world can always use a little … Continue reading Sunny Blossoms | Take What You Need

Snail Mail | Join the Revolution!

June 7, 2022June 7, 20224 Comments

I spent a good part of Sunday clearing my desk and making a note of all the people to whom I owe letters. Since my father’s passing (in February), I have had little inclination to pen letters and postcards. In fact, I realized my snail mail life has been a mess. Not only are there … Continue reading Snail Mail | Join the Revolution!

1LW: When I Rise Up

July 7, 2021July 7, 202111 Comments

Georgia Douglas Johnson’s poem, “When I Rise Up Above the Earth” was the first poem I ran across related to my “one little word.” Of course, I am familiar with Maya Angelou’s popular “Still I Rise,” which gives voice to a collective Black [women’s] “I”–talking back to and ascending in spite of an oppressive system. … Continue reading 1LW: When I Rise Up

Beauty and the Triumph of Truth

January 6, 2021January 6, 202118 Comments

Peace is the beauty of life. It is sunshine. It is the smile of a child, the love of a mother, the joy of a father, the togetherness of a family. It is the advancement of man[kind], the victory of a just cause, the triumph of truth. –Menachem Begin Despite the disappointment and sadness in … Continue reading Beauty and the Triumph of Truth

“Sun, Flower of My Heart”

November 26, 2019November 30, 20195 Comments

One of the items I’m patiently waiting to check off my “bucket list” is a visit to one of those huge sunflower fields that goes on for acres and acres and acres. My guys and I happened upon a small one here in Northern Alabama a couple of summers ago, but I’m looking forward to … Continue reading “Sun, Flower of My Heart”

You’re Entitled to You!

November 25, 2019July 9, 202110 Comments

Some of the most exquisite sunflower postcards in my collection were made by Love Noter Lori-Anne C. The intricate details of her paint and ink cards always fascinate me. The card she designed for International Women’s Day 2019 did not disappoint. I did not miss her message about balance: If you have the power to … Continue reading You’re Entitled to You!

Wrapped in Love and Sunflowers

July 20, 2018July 20, 201817 Comments

At the beginning of the year, after being cancer-free for 13 years, my sister Lori, heard the dreaded news–the cancer had returned. Initially, I shared this with just two or three close friends, soliciting their prayers. Out of respect for Lori’s privacy, I hadn’t talked about it much until I spilled to my penfriend Christine … Continue reading Wrapped in Love and Sunflowers

You have probably figured out by now that I receive a lot of cheerful sunflower mail, so much that I’m pretty sure I can start a blog just for sunflowers. I can’t let my second “Sunflower Week” pass without showing off the beautiful envelope full of sunflowers my Love Notes pal Lori-Anne C sent a few … Continue reading An Envelope Full of Sunflowers: Snail Mail Quick Tip

Wolf...
It's not just about fasting from certain foods and vices...
During trying weeks, the sunflowers always find me. Last week, which tried me backwards and forwards, @liv.wav brought them to me. Thank you, Livi!
Merry Christmas to you and yours!
Dreaming about the brownie I can't have...
Keep a tree in your heart.
