“You Will Love Again the Stranger Who Was Your Self”

January 17, 2019January 20, 201927 Comments

Love After Love by Derek Walcott The time will come when, with elation you will greet yourself arriving at your own door, in your own mirror and each will smile at the other’s welcome, and say, sit here. Eat. You will love again the stranger who was your self. Give wine. Give bread. Give back your … Continue reading “You Will Love Again the Stranger Who Was Your Self”

“Sun, Flower of My Heart”

November 26, 2019November 30, 20194 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”

12 Days of Christmas Postcards | Day 8

January 1, 2019February 21, 20217 Comments

Some things are prettier “in person.” Such is the case with the “Joyful Heart” watercolor Christmas card made by my Love Notes friend, Trang K. Trang’s note mentioned the “joy” postcard I sent at the beginning of 2018, which encouraged family and friends to carry joy with them into the new year, “so it is … Continue reading 12 Days of Christmas Postcards | Day 8

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

We Are Infinite Because of Love

July 12, 2018July 12, 201816 Comments

The last several days have been incredibly difficult–five deaths affecting people near and dear to me. It takes its toll. Yesterday, I wanted to blog about something hopeful, but I didn’t have the energy to pull a bit of light out of me. After a fitful night, I woke up and recalled a stack of … Continue reading We Are Infinite Because of Love

Kindness Week Day 6: Listen with Your Heart

July 7, 2018July 8, 20189 Comments

Today’s Kindness Prompt: Listen with your heart. Earlier today, I listened to gospel artist Jessica Reedy share a bit of her story before performing her song “Better.” She told of going through a difficult period in her life and keeping the pain to herself. She wondered if people could see her pain, if they could look … Continue reading Kindness Week Day 6: Listen with Your Heart

I Need the Ocean Because…Mondays are Exhausting

January 29, 2018July 7, 20185 Comments

Thalassophile (n.) a lover of the sea; someone who loves the sea, the ocean. Mondays are exhausting, so I thought you–like me–might need the calming blues and purples of the sea. The lovely postcard above was made especially for me by the personalized postcard queen–Trang K. She blesses so many with her art from the … Continue reading I Need the Ocean Because…Mondays are Exhausting

Speaking of Sunflowers…

November 19, 2017July 7, 20186 Comments

Isn’t this the most adorable piglet “sunning” beneath the brilliant rays of a sunflower? This postcard was beautifully made by the talented Trang K, who sent me a different sunflower few months ago. Trang wrote a long note, sweetly embellished with  flourishes, doodled flowers, hearts, and a butterfly.  She closed the card with, “You are a … Continue reading Speaking of Sunflowers…

Let’s Meet for Tea!

October 11, 2017July 7, 20187 Comments

One day I’m going to plan a mega tea party and invite all my pen friends. It would be wonderful to sit around and chat at length about our mutual interests, the pretty things we all love, and our lives in general. That is not feasible at the moment, so instead, I gather the letters and postcards received … Continue reading Let’s Meet for Tea!
