It’s nothing but a heartache. To see people take lies for truth and truth for lies. Do wrong instead of right. Choose to hate instead of love. Nothing but a heartache. These are the things you must do: Speak the truth, each of you, to one another. Practice true and righteous judgment in your courts. 1Do…

The Again in {Re}st
Today is Epiphany. It’s also the first Sunday of 2019. I was totally wiped out last night. I slept harder and rested better than I have in a while. It was good to be home. Perhaps this day spent binge-watching television shows in my pajamas was what I needed to gear up for the first…

I spent the day returning to Dallas from my home town. While it’s been said, “Oklahoma dirt roads are good for the soul,” a slushy snow melt means I brought a good portion of the good stuff home. My mom came with me. She’s recovering from a knee replacement surgery and doing quite well. After…
Read More{Re}sources
A good journalist values the sacred trust of her confidential sources. Some journalists are even sent to jail for refusing to reveal said sources. I’m not a journalist. And, nothing I’m about to tell you is confidential. I’m a blogger, and I want to reveal some of my resources. Especially the ones I’m most likely…

{Re}phrase
Just. Great. Busy. Empty words that don’t really mean anything. They’re almost worse than “you know” and “like.” Words like these need to be eliminated from my vocabulary. I think the word that bugs me the most is “busy.” As in, “I cannot have lunch with you because I’m so busy.” When I find myself…

{Re}view
Literally, to see again. And, since 2018 is now firmly in the rear view mirror, I’m taking a peek back at a couple of goals and sharing where I am now. In 2017, Keck and I went on a cruise and tried something called “snuba” a low-depth cross between scuba diving and snorkeling. We learned…

365 Again Words: {Re}start
In September 2018, I heard Noah Scalin speak on the Art of Innovation. To challenge his ability to perpetually create and to make a practice of doing innovation every day, Noah set about creating skull-a-day designed from found objects and published them immediately. I thought: If he can design a skull every day — I…

{Re}peat: I wrote this post back in May 2011. Here it is again, on the last day of palindrome week 7-19-17. Enjoy! My commute to work is often long and boring. So to entertain myself, I’ve been marking palindromes on my odometer. A palindrome is a word or phrase that’s the same forward and backward.…
Read More{Re}frame SoMe
Following the 2016 election, I was glued to social media, or SoMe as I like to call it. The news, Flipboard, CNN, NPR. The result: Nightmares. Anxiety. Discontent. Anger. Frustration. I finally took Facebook off my phone so I wouldn’t be tempted to look at it when I wasn’t at my laptop. Then, I put…
Read More{Re}adjusting
So far 2017 has been a beast. It’s stolen treasure from our family. My sister-in-law’s mother died December 22. My precious grandmother died at 91 from a bout with pneumonia on January 19. On January 23, the day we laid grandmother to rest, we got word that my husband’s mother had died while we were away.…
