Peaches and a Slice of My Life
Peach season not only peaks during the summer season, it means driving with my parents an hour away to Lexington, Missouri to purchase loc… Read full post »
My Kids Think I'm Holy
My six kids think I'm holy. I can assure you I am not.
Just look the word up in the dictionary and you'll see for
yourself.
The word "holy" as defined by the Merriam Webster's
Collegiate Dictionary is: 1. exalted or worthy of complete
devotion as one perfect in goodness and… Read full post »

I Am Insignificant
I've been going through a dry spell lately when trying to create a composition, poem, or just plain posting here on OpenSalon. Since today is "Saturday's Reposts" I decided to share this poem once again since it is one of my favorites. Plus, it is one that I continually feel within… Read full post »

A Suicide Alert!
I wasn't planning on posting today, but just read an OpenSalon post that has really pained and worried me. I am afraid for one of our OpenSalon brothers. He is suffering so much that he is contemplating suicide. His thoughts and the writing of them will pierce your heart and soul.… Read full post »
Bodacious Beauty
Instead of sharing some of my perpetual problems with
you as I tend to do, I decided to post pictures of posies. (How do
you like those alliterations, Mark?)
With photography, my favorite two elements are color and light. My
favorite two subjects are faces and places....scenery to be
exact.
I ho… Read full post »
Scared of Flying? Jump From an Airplane! (repost)
We all have some favorite birthday gifts stored in our treasure box of memories, don't we? We may even still possess those gifts. Perhaps it was the diamond tennis bracelet your husband presented to you unexpectantly. Maybe it was the gold hoop earrings your eight year old son purchased from

My Son, the Drug Addict, Part II (repost)
Before I continue this story, I owe it to my husband to make two corrections from part one. First of all, my husband never said he "loathed" our son....what he "loathed" was the drug addiction. Secondly, at the end of the story when I walked upstairs to crawl in bed

Instead of being concerned about my style of writing or if what I have to say is post worthy, I'm just going to write as though this is an entry to my journal. Style, formatting, and eloquence doesn't seem to have a place here when I'm talking about my son's

Why Didn't I Abandon Catholicism?
"I was born and raised Catholic. I attended Catholic grade school, high school and college. I was married in the church and my children were baptized and made all of their Sacraments. I even taught Sunday school for 9 years. Three years ago my family and I joined the ranks of… Read full post »
My Son Raised The American Flag
Like most Americans, I've always held a
certain degree of respect for the military and the individual
soldiers within the entity. My respect and awareness might have
been a little higher since my Dad was once in the military and
so was my brother. Growing up with my Dad meant automa… Read full post »
Why Not Live Life Fully? (Saturday Repost)
Since none of us will ultimately escape or outsmart "our brush with death," why not live life fully?
That doesn't mean to abandon care and live recklessly since we are going to die. It means to take care and live responsibly since we are going to die.
Perhaps we should live… Read full post »
I Am Feeling Anxious Because....
I desire to write something elegant....perhaps a poem that would give you goose bumps , a story that would inspire you, or maybe something that would make you laugh until you cried. Instead, I just composed a list explaining why I'm feeling the way I am and perhaps wh… Read full post »
The Ten Questions Answered
I haven't written for awhile so this was something to get me going again. It was fun, thought provoking and a little challenging since it's hard for me to pinpoint my favorites of anything. I like too many things! I enjoy too much! Thanks, AtHomePilgrim, for this fun post.

My Letter to Pope Benedict (a follow up)
As a concerned practicing Catholic who loves the Church, I beg you to take action concerning the latest scandals of child molestation. You can no longer cover up its evil with the object of protecting the Church. The Chur… Read full post »
President Obama Invites Leaders From All Over the World
Although I haven't forgotten my promise to write a letter to the Pope, I was delighted to hear about the positive political news coming right from our own country. Once again, President Obama keeps his word as he continues communicating and conversing with leaders around the world. Leaders… Read full post »
A Follow Up To My Last Post
Why Do I Defend The Church?
In light of the recent posts on OpenSalon
concerning the Catholic Church and its latest sins and
because it is Holy Week, I decided to add my two cents worth on the
topic.
Most of my feelings and opinions here have been expressed
in various comments sprinkled throughout
OpenSalon.&nb… Read full post »
I Need A Lover
Since I'm going through a dry spell and can't seem to
write about anything, I decided to write about how I
feel.....just so you'll know that I am still here!
Lately, I've been feeling so needy. I squelch the
temptation to throw a pity party for myself....after all, who would
come to… Read full post »
Happy Anniversary To Me!
My very first post on Open Salon was dated March 6, 2009. Shortly before that, I had discovered Open Salon and have been posting ever since. I decided to repost this first post of mine, not only because it was my first one, but also because it was read only by one or

What is the matter with my eyes gushing with salty
tears as I look at my children's pictures pasted in
photo albums?
Why do these fourteen albums of the smiling past
bring sadness to my heart?
I thought these photo- captured moments were
supposed to make me h… Read full post »
Me at 17
To be seventeen again....a young girl/woman graduating from high school and looking forward to college. I remember clearly possessing mixed feelings about graduating and leaving that stage in my life.
