Ever since I started this blog, I’ve been caught between the desire to write everything imaginable & the desire to write nothing, to delete it, plagued by the question, who really wants to read MY words, to hear what I have to say? & then I remember that this is less about writing for an [...]

Mine were different than usual, but still wonderful. & usually I feel sad when Christmas is over, like I’m going to be missing something. But this year Christmas just slid into the new year [...]
