Monday, September 19, 2011. In Others' Words: Home. Photo by John Skiba Photography. My home is not a place, it is people.". Lois McMaster Bujold, American author.

Uncle Sam determined where home was. And I realized location wasn't the determining factor when I thought of home. The stuff we lugged with us? Not home, either. Yeshome i...

Wednesday, August 30, 2006. So What About the First Day of Kindergarten? We're in week two of kindergarten. Both Christa and I are settling into a routine and, despite one classmate "botherin'" her, Christa is delighted about going to school. Christa is my first child to go to kindergarten. The older three were at home until first grade- Josh was home through second grade, thanks to an overseas tour in Turkey. (Another story.). So much for savoring the moment. Not even a little bit?

Mind Chocolate: Thoughts On Rejection
http://tandjbooks.blogspot.com/2011/06/thoughts-on-rejection.html
Then it comes like a sucker punch to the gut, and you realize that all of the preparation in the world could not be adequate enough to fend off the hurt that you feel. Rejection comes in several forms. Sometimes it comes with a list of things that are wrong with your story. Sometimes it comes with a list of things that you can do to improve your story. Sometimes it comes with no explanation at all, and you are left alone to scratch your head and wonder what you did wrong. Having recently faced a publishe...

Monday, May 23, 2005. Following In Her Footsteps. I love to go for walks with my family. There is something so relaxing- so therapeutic- about strolling through the neighborhood in the cool of a Colorado evening. The other day, she decided to walk right in front of me, taking little one-two-three baby steps. I stumbled for a step or two, shortening my stride to avoid running over her. For another article on life with a caboose baby, read. On my Web site at www.thewritingroad.com. Links to this post.
