Please enjoy this little holiday bon bon – a New Year’s Eve vignette featuring our MFCs: Kenna, Candace and Frankie. ************* “What are you wearing tonight?” Kenna asked as she admired her new French Manicure.

I’m Crying ‘Uncle’!
Good morning friends! Well, we did it. We made it to the other side of another Christmas. Every year the hustle and bustle leading up to that one special day seems to come to a screeching halt on the 26th of December. For some of us, it’s a day to laze about in our new jammies,…
Christmas Staycation
Good morning and Happy Monday! Today is the first day of my vacation – a staycation if you will. (Of course my alarm went off at 6:00am because I forgot to turn it off. I did, however, force myself to stay in bed until 8:30. ) So, here I am, all snug and warm in…
Christmas is Going to the Dogs…and Cats
Hello friends and Happy Monday! (As far as I’m concerned I’ve already won Monday since I managed to get my coffee back to the office without falling down or any major spillage.) “Big Deal”, you say? Well, for one thing it was raining – washing away the inch or so of snow we had overnight,…

Good morning and Happy Monday my friends! Are you in the throes of the holiday rush yet or are you just easing into it with a little shopping here, a little cleaning there, because you’re one of those preternaturally calm people who think know think it’ll all get done? Me, I create my own chaos….
It’s Beginning To Look A Lot Like…

A Monday To Savor
Good morning all and Happy Monday to you. It’s happy for me, because it’s a Monday that feels like a Wednesday. We usually think of Wednesday as “hump day”, the day we look forward to because it signals we are half-way to the Friday finish line. Mondays that act like Wednesdays are rare indeed, therefore…
Foolish Notion – part 2
Part two of an original short story. Part one can be found here. Please enjoy. **** Dex had been chattering nonstop, pointing out various parts of the city that had or hadn’t changed in the years that Streak had been away. Streak didn’t have to do much more than grunt as he stuck his cigarette…
I Choose Kindness
Good morning and Happy Monday all. Did you know that yesterday, November 13, was World Kindness Day? I didn’t. Apparently, it’s been a thing since 1998 when the World Kindness Movement coalesced into a formal organization with over 25 member nations including Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, France, India, Italy, Japan, Liberia, Malaysia, Mexico, Nepal, Netherlands,…
