Losing Control Gives Security
Having my big strong man in charge gives me a tremendous sense of security. I have zero control over my life. And I've had to learn to trust that my husband and God will take care of me. That trust is a feeling of free fall, then of serenity. I can just serenely be. God … Continue reading Losing Control Gives Security
Faith Collages
I felt a little better today. I picked up, did some cleaning, got dinner going, and even wrote some poetry! My book is truly underway. I plan to self-publish next fall. I need to make the most of the days I feel ok. I never know when I'll get them. I have too much housework … Continue reading Faith Collages

So now my doctor is pulling me off one of them. I have been reading A Jury of Her Peers. Fascinating … Continue reading Hospital, Book, Feminine Literature
Church, Snow
We were supposed to be welcomed as members into our church today, but I vomited on the way. We were maybe 10 minutes from church when I started spewing and eventually couldn't swallow it down. I feel so bad. They were prepared to welcome us. Since then I have been resting. My dear husband made … Continue reading Church, Snow
Ghettoization of Genre Fiction
What's the difference between horror and gothic fiction? Not much. Gothic literature is horror approved by the establishment. As a horror reader, I think this false demarcation between horror and literature is unfair. Nothing I'm saying here is groundbreaking. But I've been reading more horror again, and I'm struck by how masterful some of the … Continue reading Ghettoization of Genre Fiction
