Losing our parents is the
Posted on Fri, 18 Oct 2019
Losing our parents is the hardest part of life. I know there will always be an empty space where they should be - I lost both of my parents in 2005, two months apart, and I still feel that loss today and I suspect I always will. This is a very...

Posted on Mon, 14 Oct 2019
You really need to chapter these and make a book – I know so many who’d feel connected to these stories, as I do - for once again, you are writing part of my diary...just like Keansbury, NJ- I too have been to the Elmwood Theatre, and it holds a...

I could feel the forest
Posted on Sun, 13 Oct 2019
I could feel the forest around me and it was a peaceful walk along with you. I too love deers though there are none where I live now and I wish we did not hunt these and other animals as we do, though I understand in times of old it was necessary...

Posted on Sat, 05 Oct 2019

Posted on Sun, 22 Sep 2019
I love a rainy day when all things are renewed with the drenching. Your poetic descriptions accurately painted a grey, yet still colorful, walk in the rain and I enjoyed walking it with you. I felt the sadness in your words at the memory of lost...

Posted on Tue, 03 Sep 2019
Away from city lights, on a dark night, gazing up at the velvet, endless sky, it gives a new persepctive. We are so small, so inconsequential in the scheme of this expansive universe. It humbles and makes me aware of the fragile workings of our...

Beautifully written, perfect descriptions of a rainy day, wind blowing and rain pouring down while you view it cozily from inside and playing a game of scrabble. ( I love scrabble) . It all sounds so inviting... and as you'd wished...I hope the...

Your descriptions made me
Posted on Wed, 14 Aug 2019
Your descriptions made me feel the changes of seasons, the arid air and the cooler rush of spring moving this ever flowing river along - and the quest to be strong, like the river. I felt several different meanings in the words and to each reader...

Your story and words felt so
Posted on Mon, 12 Aug 2019
Your story and words felt so real. The acceptance of the spirit of the lost child, still ephemerally in their lives, was touching and heartfelt. The notion that The Mother and Child connection is never severed came through beautifully. Katy is ...
