My Mission
What is your mission? Your mission, should you choose to accept it... LOL This year, as in the last four, remains the same: to write stories and poems which entertain, demand an emotional response, challenge, encourage, or deliver hope.

Differently?
What could you do differently? I could get all my ducks in a row, play my cards right, and get my rear in gear. I could live and let live, and realize a stitch in time saves nine. I could hire someone in a New York minute, put my nose to the grindstone, and take … Continue reading Differently?

Emails!
What are your biggest challenges? Being a good friend and subscriber that responds to emails is a challenge. The problem is the 200 + emails I receive each day.

Nostalgia
What makes you feel nostalgic? Grandma Cutshaw's Coca-Cola ham. We cook it every year for Christmas. Remembering laughter around the table with 12 of us playing canasta at Grandma's. Crazy fun. Christmas ornaments that have been passed to me from my parents, from Grandma. Putting up Santa and Mrs. Claus that Grandma made in ceramics. … Continue reading Nostalgia
