Gentle Advisement: The following post involves the passing of a family member. This happens rather quickly, and the remainder of the piece is uplifting and wise. But if you are not in a comfortable space to read of such at the moment, perhaps you might want to visit […]
I think it’s fair to say that most of us are a bit on edge these days, due to a laundry list of various issues that fluctuate with importance just as each of us fluctuates in our own spaces. In such an environment, one that often feels overwhelming […]
I have been reading Donna’s work for several years now, and I have long grown accustomed to finding a remarkable, thoughtful treasure when I peruse a fresh post on her site. With the example shared below, my (admittedly) high expectations were generously exceeded. Donna’s words are honest and […]
As I was prepping this piece, I struggled, as I usually do, with finding the right words for the introduction. After fifty-odd spotlights, it’s become increasingly difficult to come up with a unique intro that feels fresh and non-repetitive. After all, how many different ways can you say […]

As we settle into the new year, I thought it might be festive to resurrect a series which has been unforgivably neglected for a while, one wherein the spotlight is wrenched from yours truly and shone glowingly in the direction of a fellow blogger who fascinates me. […]
And so it was, four score and seven years ago (okay, maybe it was just ten days ago; I get confused), that I proffered up another picturesque writing-prompt. During the rousing commentary interplay that ensued, the deliciously-provocative Fiery composed a lovely poetic piece that encapsulated both the prompt […]
