This post is dedicated to the voices that are not being heard
Yesterday I picked up the textbook I’ll be using to teach a series of courses on Writing for Public Relations. That’s the cover of the book you see above. Does anything jump out at you when you look at the picture? Think about it… three well-known men at microphones,...
Eating, praying, loving, and thinking
My sister and I took my two teenage daughters to see the movie Eat Pray Love this past weekend. It was enjoyable, if for no other reason than that it gave this wanderer lots of pretty location eye candy to feast my eyes on. And, as a mother who sat watching with her...

Big, BIG news (and a little bit of fear)
So there's a big secret I've been keeping from you. It's been hard to keep it because I love to share things with you, my beloved readers, but I had to keep it quiet until a few important people knew about it. And now that they know, I can share it... I AM QUITTING MY...
Embracing solitude
On the canoe trip this past weekend, my friend Jayne remarked that in the nine years she's known me, she never knew how much I enjoy solitude. This comment came after I woke up early in the morning to sit for an hour alone gazing out over the magical foggy lake, and...
