Let It Be: Teddy Bears & Tyrants
If you haven’t noticed, there’s a whole lot of negative-energy “stuff” swirling around the planet lately. From hurricanes and earthquakes to political tyrants, tirades and Twitter feeds. I can easily name a few people who need an official “time out” in a rocking chair with their teddy bear (and I’m not referring to my two darling […]
What’s in YOUR Dream Box?
I spent some time with my two grandsons this past weekend (ages 5.5 and 3). They love electronics . . . our iPad and iPhones have the requisite toddler apps for EDU-tainment. Their latest attraction, which captures BOTH of their attention simultaneously is called, “Creative Galaxy” which we access through Amazon Prime (the 3-year-old showed […]
Ready to Roll
It was 1962 . . . I found myself at the bottom of a neighborhood hill, laughing and giggling, as I lay bunched-up against a small row of bushes. I had just turned 6 and received a shiny new pair of sparkly-gold steel roller skates with bright red wheels for my birthday . . . […]
The Story Matters
We’ve all seen the t-shirts about how “Punctuation Matters” . . . And I recently learned first-hand how much placing your words in the correct order ALSO matters. My entire life, I’ve heard the family story about how one of my Miller ancestors married a Cherokee maiden back during the Trail of Tears era. I have […]
Moon Shadow
“Oh, I’m bein’ followed by a moon shadow, moon shadow, moon shadow . . . Leapin and hoppin’ on a moon shadow, moon shadow, moon shadow . . .” ~ Cat Stevens (AKA: Yusef Islam) Those of you who have followed my weekly writings may recognize this photo from Summer 2016 when I was able to capture […]
Step Up, Step Out, Stand Out
I was NOT happy. My Mom had just lifted me out of the boat and now my feet were in the muck and mud. I can vividly remember the feeling of this strange, new substance oozing between my toes. Get me out of here, FAST! It was the flood of 1960 in northeast Oklahoma. The flood waters had not […]
In the FLOW of Circulation and Celebration!
It’s a beautiful new day in St. Louis this morning! August in STL is known to be fairly brutal. We typically see high humidity with temps in the 100’s. But, not this year. The (hopefully) “last blast” of Summer heat came in late July. We woke up this morning to low 60-degree temps, clear skies, a gently […]
Fireworks Get Noticed
My mother’s birthday was July 4th. And, YES, she was one heck of a FIRECRACKER. She LOVED being the focus of attention, and knew how to make that happen. She always led with her “sparkling” personality, and it always served her well. Even after she moved to a nursing home, she landed on the front page […]
