Several months ago, I was working on a project, and the publisher objected to a single phrase in a fully written manuscript. The exact phrase doesn’t matter as much as the sentiment. He objected to us mentioning terrorist attacks, mass shootings, and gun violence. He said a single mention of trying to find faith and harmony in a world that includes these things would automatically date the book, that this was a uniquely current situation.
My Voice
If you are telling people to relax, perhaps you need to realize this isn’t just another election, just another president, for women, PoC, non-Christians, LGTBQ, or anyone deemed different.
The Ultimate Buzzkill
I waited to share this story until I was sure no one was reading…so two weeks ago, I went out for an easy Monday afternoon run. I believe I was running four miles at a 1/2 mile run, 1/4 mile walk intervals. I was about a mile in, about half way though my second 1/2 mile interval when a bee attacked.
Missing Chewie
It’s been a few year since we lost Chewie to the ravages of old age, but I miss him every day.
Tuesdays on the Run: Running Uniforms
This weeks Tuesday on the Run covers running uniforms. Unlike last week, where I couldn’t choose a favorite medal, I fully admit to having a running uniform. Please comment, share, and link-up with Patty, Erika, and Marcia for this edition of Tuesdays on the Run.
Happy Valentine’s Day
Happy Valentine’s Day!
This is a very old shot of Chewie sending some hearts and Xs and Os. I miss him everyday, but he will always be my Valentine.
