Ask The Questions
When I was five, I wanted a pet lion. My mom told me lions were not legal pets. I wanted her to call the police and ask. My dad traveled often. When I was 6, I asked him to take a vacuum cleaner on the plane and suck up a cloud and bring it home…
The Cold Caught Me
Like almost every day I begin with a shower I blow dry my bangs And slide into jeans and tennis shoes… Shoes are important when balance is bad I’m determined A normal routine will mean a normal day I’m sure of it But after the shower and the dressing and the shoes I’m exhausted And freezing…
Lemons and Mom
Lemons They remind me of my mom… There are reminders that are concrete… like a Post-it note on the refrigerator…. and there are reminders that are less tangible, more ethereal…. like a cobweb that just barely grazes your hand. Lemons have that wispy, fairy wing kind of feeling for me. I can see lemons in…
Being
So many worlds collide in order to create each human life. The coming together of two people, two bodies, at least two cultures and families and on and on. We start this journey, being taught, being molded, being corrected and trying and trying and trying. So much learning. So much striving. We feel lucky if…
Dinah’s Holiday Hello

And just like that…the November challenge is done. And once again, I’m so glad I said yes! I said yes to writing in community…to writing with this wonderful group of people who genuinely care about each other. I feel so lucky to have found Ra Avis and her group of Cheerpepper bright lights! Writing is…
Disability -Day 29/30
Disability means something different to everyone. For some, disability means “those people”. For me, disability means an ever-changing me….and it seems to be swallowing up more of me every year. As a child, disability meant that I didn’t walk well…that was the biggest thing. There was more but I chose to ignore it. My life…
Another Day -Day 28/30
I believe it was Maya Angelou, who said… This is a wonderful day! I haven’t seen this one before! Today was another day of Adulting… The doctor was seen. Paperwork was done… Possibly not on time. But that’s another story… My family member was contacted to be sure that all was well… Adulting. When…
