• The Good Death

  

  The Good Death When I’m dying, I want it to be slow. Not slow like a hot Sunday service in an old church, Nor any Tuesday at a job that sucked my soul; But slow like watching sunsets rocking on back porches, And fishing off the end of a lake house pier. I want slow […]

• Why Throw A Living Memorial?

  

  My husband turned 70 this week and the pre-Corona plan was to throw him an Honor Dinner (or Living Memorial) to celebrate his life. Now you might be asking what is the difference between an Honor Dinner and a birthday party. Quite simply it is the sentiment expressed. Let’s think about a regular memorial for […]

• Hold Yourself Accountable, Guru

  I’m a little aghast right now. Fair warning, this will be a little rantish. I just witnessed a celebrity ‘relationship expert’ demonstrate the most repulsive behavior. I just can’t understand it.
