Creative Writing > Memoirs Memoirs My true garden story

I raise magnificent heirloom tomatoes. That is, today, I raise magnificent heirloom tomatoes. For years I tried to have those delightful summertime treats come up in my yard, but something always happened. The green tomato worms won the battle a few summers. An extended vacation brought disaster another year. My hired teenag...

Religion & Spirituality > Spiritual Life Letting go of fear

Letting go of fear is difficult, but with a little understanding of human emotions, it can be achieved.  Human emotions can be distilled down to two general categories-love and fear.  To even simplify love and fear, think of love as "yes" and fear as "no".  There are many shades of these two emotions which we ...

Creative Writing > Memoirs Memoirs: What to say to the world in your 15 minutes of fame

Dear world, I have just fifteen minutes to tell you many things. First and foremost, let all hatred be laid aside. Hate is just a shade of fear. In reality we have absolutely nothing to fear. All fear stems from the fear of separation. Separation isn't possible, for the ether in which we live and move and have our being is G...

Relationships & Family > Relatives Tips for dealing with a mother in law

Just the sound of the term mother-in-law can make you tense up. It actually means mother by law. For some, it would take a law to make you want to call her mother! I have over thirty years experience with my mother "by" law. I would have been better off had I declined to meet her when my husband wanted to present me to her, ...

Relationships & Family > Parents Do stay-at-home moms get the recognition they deserve?

Stay at home moms deserve much more recognition that they get. Staying at home does not mean that mom is not working! I raised five wonderful children. I did not want them to be raised by someone else. My husband and I knew that our lifestyle would be effected by the loss of my income, but we placed great value on bringing o...

Creative Writing > Reflections Reflections: Getting along better with family by not being together

A three thousand mile buffer is just about the right size! My family lives along the East coast and that is largely why I live in California. I could have stayed on the East coast and participated in a life-long marathon try-out session to gain acceptance in that exclusive club they call family, but moving away was much more...

Parenting & Pregnancy > Problems Parents Face How to get your adult child out of the house

With firmness, confidence, and love the parent must tell the adult child to leave the home. You have to set a time and stick to it. "By the end of the month, you will be out. Find a place, you have time to make your arrangements." Perhaps the first move is just to a room rented out, or a partnership in a multi roommate situa...

Creative Writing > Reflections Reflections: My father

A Very Perfect Gentle Knight Chaucer, in Canterbury Tales, wrote of the perfect gentle knight and about his kind ways and perfect manners. My father was a 30-year naval officer who displayed many of the traits Chaucer attributed to his gentle knight. I always think of him as my gentle knight, perhaps not in shining armor, bu...

Creative Writing > Reflections Reflections: Dealing with family gossip

Family gossip is devastating. Things are said that bring hurt and damage that may never heal. Why do family members engage in such activity? Some gossip because they value information as a possession, a possession they value more than the people they gossip about. I know something you don't know! This seems to give power and...
